hatting with Grant Enfinger…
“Kentucky (Speedway) has a lot of grip, and the asphalt is still pretty new. Turns 1 and 2 have a good bit of banking to hold you but turn 3 is pretty flat. I like that the corners are different it definitely challenges us to get our Ford F-150 good on both ends. We had a really fast truck there last year, but didn’t get to finish. Hopefully we can bring another really good Ford F-150 back to the track, and contend for a win on Thursday night. It’s a one-day show so it’ll be busy, but a lot of fun.”
