Grant Enfinger Quote:
On his first race with GMS Racing at the Tricky Triangle:
“I am very excited about going to Pocono (Raceway) with GMS Racing. The team has been working day and night to prepare the chassis for the weekend ahead. I can’t thank everyone enough for their hard work this season so far. I’ve always loved Pocono. We were real good with GMS Racing in the second (Pocono) race last year. Balance at Pocono is always a trade-off. Turn Three is probably the most important corner. You have to get off that corner good, because it sets up for that long straightaway.”
