GRANT ENFINGER EARNS 12TH TOP-10 OF 2018 SEASON, AND FIRST CAREER NCTWS PLAYOFF APPEARANCE, AT BRISTOL MOTOR SPEEDWAY
“Overall, the whole day at Bristol was kind of up and down. There were times when we had really good speed, and there were times we were off. We ended up getting run over about half way through the race and we could never really recover after that. But overall, it was a solid effort by everyone. I’m proud of our year so far, proud of how far we’ve come since this time last year, and proud of our team getting us into the playoffs. That is something we can all be proud of, and to be proud of Thorsport Racing for getting three trucks in the playoffs. Thank you to Duke and Rhonda Thorson, Champion Power Equipment, Ford Performance, Curb Records, Protect the Harvest, and everybody that had gotten us to this point.”

GRANT ENFINGER SHOWS STRENGTH OF TRUCK AND TEAM AT MICHIGAN INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY, EARNING ANOTHER TOP-10 FINISH
“Overall, these last few weeks have had some really solid racing and solid speed in our Champion Power Equipment Ford F-150. I feel good about the truck we brought here. We went with (Crew Chief) Jeff Hensley’s gut feeling on a few things. I didn’t quite agree with it, but he had some serious reason, and it ended up being the right decision. It’s my third time at Michigan in a truck, and this is the best truck I’ve had here. Other than the fender, I think we had the best truck here today. If we had a track position at the end, I don’t think they could have gotten around us. I’m really proud of the effort, and really proud of what we have been doing these last few months.”

TRACK-BEST FINISH FOR GRANT ENFINGER AT POCONO RACEWAY
“Overall it was a solid day for us. We we were solid yesterday when we unloaded – had pretty good speed. We were able to tune on it, and actually made it pretty good for the race today. I feel like we probably had a fourth-place truck for most of the day. We opted to get stage points, because that’s where we are in the grand scheme of things, like we’ve been doing all year, and stuck with it. We had to come back from deep in the field in that last run, really had no cautions to help us out, and it worked out for us, we were able to drive up to sixth, and I’m proud of that. Not exactly the result we were going for, but I feel like we had a good Champion Power Equipment Ford F-150 – leaps and bounds from where we were last year, and I feel like we are steady building momentum for the remainder of the season.”
