GRANT ENFINGER WINS AT MARTINSVILLE – ADVANCES TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP 4 AT PHOENIX RACEWAY
Enfinger, 35, of Fairhope, Alabama, earned this win managing two restarts in a frantic final 10 laps of racing on the .526-mile Martinsville Speedway notorious for its rough-and-tumble high-action brand of competition. He held off Rhodes by a mere .803 seconds to earn his career-best fourth win of the year and join Brett Moffitt, Sheldon Creed and rookie Zane Smith as the four drivers who earned a shot to challenge for the 2020 season title next week in Phoenix.
“Thank you guys, thank you guys, this is unbelievable,” Enfinger told his team as the No. 98 ThorSport Racing Ford took the checkered flag.
“It was tough, we knew we were going to have to take our gloves off and fight for this one,” Enfinger said after celebrating. “It’s been an up-and-down season for us, but we tended to peak when we needed to. And now I feel really good about our chances at Phoenix.”

GRANT ENFINGER RECOVERS FROM GOING TWO LAPS DOWN TO FINISH 13TH AT TALLADEGA AND ADVANCES TO THE ROUND OF 8
“Not the way we had it planned but our ThorSport Racing guys did a great job overcoming our early issues with the left rear tire rub. We had a great Champion Power Equipment/Curb Records Ford F-150 and I’m bummed we weren’t able to show all the speed we had. However, I’m very proud that we are able to move on to the next round of the Playoffs and it’s great that our other teammates were able to advance as well. We will be ready in Kansas.”
Kaique Pacheco went 1 for 2 over the weekend and earned 9 points for his 10th place finish in the event. He qualified for the event championship round but was unable to compete with a strained hamstring he suffered the night before in the 15 / 15 Bucking Battle. Kaique rode that bull to second place in the bonus round and earned an additional 40 standings points. Pacheco improved to third place in the PBR world standings with 596.50 points. The unexpected open weekend in the schedule will allow Kaique time to rest and rehab his hamstring strain, with the full intention of competing in Lincoln.

TOP-10 FINISH FOR GRANT ENFINGER AT BRISTOL
“Overall a decent night at Bristol (Motor Speedway). We had to overcome an issue that was shutting the engine off on corner exit in the first Stage, so that was detrimental to our tack position, but the guys didn’t give up. Tyler Shullick actually jumped in the truck, under caution, and swapped the ECU out and we didn’t go a lap down, that alone was a big deal within itself. Our truck had decent speed, we were probably one adjustment away from contending speed-wise. It was tough to pass, but we were able to make the most of it and finish sixth. I can’t thank everyone at ThorSport Racing, and the guys at ADS and Lucas Oil enough for coming on-board tonight. We had a decent night and can’t wait to get to Las Vegas (Motor Speedway) next week.”
