Grant Enfinger Race Recap:
Grant Enfinger, driver of the No. 98 RIDE TV Toyota Tundra, made his Dover (Del.) International Speedway (DIS) debut in Friday’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) Bar Harbor 200. Starting 12th, Enfinger ran as high as second, but consistently inside the top-10, and utilized pit strategy in the final laps of the 200-lap event to finish third behind race winner, Johnny Sauter. The third-place effort was the ThorSport Racing drivers season-best finish, and his third career top-five result in 20 NCWTS starts.

Quote:
“It was definitely a good run for us. We needed a solid finish going into the busy part of the season. We haven’t had a great start to the year, but we have all the tools to work with, we just haven’t performed. Jeff Hensley (crew chief) made a great call there, and got us track position. Like Kaz (Grala) said, that seemed to be key. We were a mediocre truck in dirty air and I think we were pretty good in clean air, in all honesty. Yeah, I think Johnny (Sauter, winner) did great. He didn’t make a mistake there. It kind of proved that track position is more important than tires there at the end, but I can’t say enough about the calls. Hensley has made three good calls for us this season and kind of salvaged good days out of mediocre days for us. I’m really, really, proud of everybody on this RIDE TV Tundra. I feel like we’ve got a little momentum now. We’ve had two better finishes than we deserved the last two races, but I feel like we’re getting there.”

Notes:

  • The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) had two practice sessions on Thursday afternoon in preparation for Friday’s Bar Harbor 200 at DIS. Grant Enfinger was 17th and seventh, respectively, in both sessions.
  • In his DIS debut, Enfinger started 12th, ran as high as second, and finished third. The top-five result was the RIDE TV drivers season-best finish to date and his third top-five finish in 20 series starts.
  • In six starts in 2017, the ThorSport Racing driver has led 18 laps en route to one top-five (Dover) and three top-10 finishes.

The solid run was the ThorSport Racing drivers second top-10 in five starts this season.

Quote:
“We salvaged a top-10 tonight. I’m proud of everyone on this No. 98 Champion Power Equipment team. We definitely did not have a seventh-place truck when the green flag dropped, but Jeff Hensley and my team never gave up and made the best of it all night. Hensley made a great call at the end of the race to come in and get scuff tires. We have some work to do as a team before we go to another intermediate track, but I’m happy with how hard my team worked all weekend.”

Grant Enfinger Race Recap:
Grant Enfinger, driver of the No. 98 RIDE TV Toyota Tundra, made his Kansas Speedway debut in Friday night’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) Toyota Tundra 250. Starting 15th, the Sunoco Rookie of the Year contender overcame a spin on lap 12 to lead the 32-truck field once, for 14 laps. Running inside the top-10, with 30 laps remaining in the 167-lap event, Enfinger would get loose making a pass on the 7 truck and lose valuable track position. The ThorSport Racing driver would settle for an 11th-place finish behind race winner, Kyle Busch.

Quote:
“We had a really good Tundra tonight. Everyone on this RIDE TV team did a really good job, but I feel like we probably gave away a top-five finish there tonight. We just got really loose underneath the 7 truck there at the end, and lost too many positions. Overall, a great effort by everyone. We’ve made improvements since Atlanta and I’m feeling good about heading to Charlotte next week, especially after the test. I appreciate everyone’s hard work tonight. I just feel like I let them down after losing those spots there at the end.”

Grant Enfinger 2017 Martinsville Recap

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.”
