In the Rearview Mirror: Berlin Raceway … Grant Enfinger and GMS Racing called for a simple strategy on August 9 at Berlin (Mich.) Raceway: Start on the front row, stay out front, and win the race with the strongest car. Enfinger delivered on the strategy, performing admirably on every lap, dusting the rest of the field at the respected short track in Marne, Michigan, where he pulled away to win the Federated Auto Parts 200. The victory was Enfinger’s fifth in 14 ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards starts this season. Enfinger led 181 of the race’s 200 laps, and earned with the organization its first victory in 58 ARCA Racing Series starts.
Grant Enfinger Quote:
“I am looking forward to getting back to the dirt – and this time with GMS Racing. It’s been a while since I have driven on the dirt, but GMS Racing had a great run with Spencer Gallagher last year. While I’m not very experienced on dirt, I know “Pickle” (crew chief Ryan London) will have a great plan for our No. 90 No. 90 Motor Honey/Casite, Allegiant Travel Chevrolet and I know everyone at GMS Racing has prepared another fast race car for me, so I am feeling confident about this one.”
