Grant Enfinger Race Recap:

Grant Enfinger, driver of the No. 98 Jive Communications Toyota Tundra, made his second career start at Martinsville (Va.) Speedway in Saturday’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) Alpha Energy Solutions 250. Starting a track-best 10th, Enfinger proved to be a strong contender early, finishing fifth in Stages 1 and 2. Just prior to the conclusion of Stage 2, a caution was displayed at lap 137 of 140, forcing the Stage to finish under caution. The No. 98 team opted to stay out and benefit from the point payout for finishing top-10 in the Stage, while other teams opted to pit early for track position.

After making a pit stop for four tires, fuel, and a chassis adjustment, to aid in a tight Toyota Tundra, Enfinger would restart from the 20th position for the 101-lap shootout in the Final Stage. Running lap times as fast as the leaders, the Sunoco Rookie of the Year contender worked his way up to the 14th position, and look poised for a solid recovery. Unfortunately, contact with the No. 13 Tundra on the final lap would force the ThorSport Racing driver to loose valuable track position and cross the stripe in the 17th position behind race winner, Chase Elliott.

Quote: “The Jive Communications Toyota Tundra was handling really well at the beginning of the race. We just lost track position with Stage 2 ending under caution. We fought back, but got pushed around at the end, which is not where we wanted to be. My ThorSport Racing team built one heck of a Tundra for this weekend. Unfortunately, we didn’t get the finish to prove it.”

Grant Enfinger Race Recap:

Grant Enfinger, driver of the No. 98 RIDE TV Toyota Tundra, made his second career start at Atlanta (Ga.) Motor Speedway in Saturday’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) Active Pest Control 200. Starting from the 14th position, the ThorSport Racing driver led the 32-truck field once, for four laps, and brought home his second top-10 finish, finishing eighth at the 1.54-mile track. The Sunoco Rookie of the Year contender was also the highest finishing rookie contender in Saturday’s race.

Enfinger, who finished ninth in Stage 1, and 12th in Stage 2, gambled on pit strategy at lap 105, when a majority of the leaders came to pit road. Electing to stay out, the RIDE TV driver would bring the field to the green flag with 28 laps remaining in the 130-lap event. With fresh tires at an advantage, the RIDE TV driver would lose ground to the leaders in the closing laps, and cross the stripe in the eighth position behind race winner, Christopher Bell.

Quote:

How was your race?
“It was a decent night for us. We seemed to be pretty good on long runs. Short runs we had a little trouble. Our best run was our last run, but we got a little off sequence with our pit stops. Since we knew we weren’t going to win, we took a gamble. Overall, I think it was the right call – fresher tires just had the advantage. Eighth place tonight – it’s not bad, just not what we came here to do. We came to win.”

Notes:

• The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) had three practice sessions on Friday in preparation for Saturday’s Active Pest Control 200 at Atlanta Motor Speedway (AMS). Grant Enfinger was 11th, 15th, and 11th, respectively.

• Enfinger was the highest finishing Sunoco Rookie of the Year contender in the 130-lap event at AMS.
• In 16 career NCWTS starts, Enfinger has one pole, one win, and has led 54 laps en route to two top-five, and six top-10 finishes.

• Up Next: The Alpha Energy Solutions 250 at Martinsville (Va.) Motor Speedway on Saturday, April 1.
