Grant Enfinger Quote:
On returning to New Jersey Motorsports Park:
“I have always done pretty well in New Jersey, so I’m excited to return there for my fourth start on a road course. I had a lot of fun the first three times and I learned a lot, so after a disappointing weekend for myself and the GMS team, we are going into New Jersey hoping for the best! GMS Racing has given me the best opportunity I have ever had in my racing career, and I can not thank everyone enough including my sponsors Allegiant Travel, Alamo Rent-A-Car and WURTH USA for making this 2015 season possible for my career.”
