Grant Enfinger Quote:
“I am excited to head to Chicagoland Speedway this weekend for the SCOTT 150. The “Windy City” track is very high banked and fast which makes it very strenuous on the equipment. This weekend, Alamo Rent-A-Car will be on board. I want to thank the GMS Racing team for their hard work and long hours this season so far. A special thank you to all of our supporters this season and their involvement.”
