Grant Enfinger – 2019 Bristol Recap
“Thanks to Jeff Hensley (crew chief), he was able to get us some track position there after the second stage. We weren’t a bad truck when we had the lead. I was tight in traffic, and track position was a premium. I don’t know what I could have done differently on that restart. The 24 was just a little bit better than us on the top side. I thought about taking away the top side, but we weren...

Grant Enfinger – 2019 Eldora Recap
"This was a great night for us. We needed this to rebound our team – the last month hasn’t been good. I’m very happy with the progress we made on this No. 98 Champion Power Equipment Ford F-150 since we unloaded yesterday.

Grant Enfinger – 2019 Pocono Recap
“Obviously, the points are on our mind, but we wanna win a race first, and just haven’t accomplished that yet. Overall, we’ve had really good speed with our Ford F-150’s this year, it was just an off weekend for us – we missed it just a little bit yesterday.

Grant Enfinger – 2019 Kentucky Recap
“I just screwed up. I lost a little bit on that restart and then got a big suck down the back straightaway going into Turn 3, and got separated enough, I felt like, to clear him and go ahead and slide up there, but I didn’t clear him all the way and just lost my air and wrecked it. You can’t really run side-by-side here. It’s all on me. I was trying to make something of it and it just didn...

Grant Enfinger – 2019 Gateway Recap
“We had a Champion Power Equipment Ford F-150 capable of winning tonight. Unfortunately, we made a lot of big adjustments before the race because we weren’t that good in practice. We were really good from the drop of the green flag though. We were really good in the second Stage, just had a tire going down through the final Stage, and lost all of our track position, and just couldn’t overcom...

Grant Enfinger – 2019 Iowa Recap
“I mean it’s a lot of fun slippin’ and slidin’ out here by yourself, but it was just really difficult to pass, even when you’re a full tenth faster than somebody. So, it was all about those restarts, and the first couple of corners there. I think we had a really good Protect The Harvest Ford F-150. I don’t know if we could’ve been a factor with the two leaders up there. I think if we...
-
Grant Enfinger – 2019 Iowa Preview
“Iowa Speedway is a place I always look forward to. It’s a really fun track – it’s got some bumps, and some character. You can move all the way from the top, to the bottom, and a lot of times those grooves change through the course of a tire run. Just a super fun track from a driver’s standpoint. For some reason though we’ve kind of struggled there the last couple of years, but I feel...

Grant Enfinger – 2019 Texas Preview
“Texas should be a great race for us. We’ve run strong there in the past, and we’re where we need to be as a team to challenge for a win Friday night. We had a great F-150 at Texas earlier this season, but conditions will be different this time. The track temp will be significantly higher, and with no added track prep, the grip level will be down a good bit. With Turns 1 and 2 being very fla...

Grant Enfinger – 2019 Charlotte Recap
“We started out the day terrible – we we’re just out to lunch. Jeff Hensley (crew chief), Josh Hankish (truck chief) and all the guys worked really hard on this Protect The Harvest Ford F-150. They got it drivable. They were able to make it a good truck by the time we qualified and raced. We were a third-place truck, we had nothing for the 51, but we had a solid truck all night. We finished...

Grant Enfinger – 2019 Kansas Recap
“Overall we had a good Protect the Harvest Ford F-150 tonight at Kansas. We didn’t qualify very well, but we drove up to the front really early on. Myself, Jeff Hensley, everyone on this 98 team felt like we had a good race truck, and we proved that tonight. We had great pit stops, and great restarts, all night. We got the lead early, and could hold them off. Then, after that green flag stint,...

Grant Enfinger – 2019 Dover Recap
“Overall we had a solid Champion Power Equipment Ford F-150. All weekend really, we just weren’t a race winning truck. It’s a lot about track position here, and gutsy restarts. If we were able to steal some track position, I think we could have held them off, but that’s about all we had. What a great day for ThorSport Racing though – all four of our Fords were in the top six. It means a...

Grant Enfinger – 2019 Texas Recap
TOP-FIVE FINISH FOR GRANT ENFINGER AT TEXAS "Overall a solid night. We had good speed, and good drivability. We lost track position after Stage 1, but we were able to get it back, just never could get back to that front row. Honestly, I think if we could have restarted on the front row we would have been hard to beat. You had to go for it on every one of those restarts to try and get track pos...

Grant Enfinger – 2019 Martinsville Recap
TOP-10 FINISH FOR GRANT ENFINGER AT MARTINSVILLE "Overall, a long, tough day for us here at Martinsville. For whatever reason we didn't fire off in qualifying or the beginning of the race. I don't know if I just abused those tires, or if the truck just didn't like that set of tires, or what - we just didn't have speed at that point. Finally, when we were able to get that set of tires off, busin...

We had good speed out of our Champion Power Equipment/Curb Records Ford F-150, it just wasn't meant to be this time around in Vegas.
