Grant Enfinger Quote:
“I’m very excited about getting to Pocono Raceway with GMS Racing. We had a great first outing at Lucas Oil Raceway and made big gains during the race. I hope to carry that momentum with us this weekend. (Crew chief Ryan London) “Pickle” and my teammate Spencer Gallagher ran really well with this car a few weeks ago at Chicagoland Speedway, so hopefully we can pick up where they left off.”
