Enfinger Eyes First Toledo Victory
Eye on the Prize… Grant Enfinger, the winner of the first three Automobile Racing Club of America presented by Menards (ARCA) races, looks to take home another short track victory at the Toledo (Ohio) Speedway in the Menards 200. Enfinger will pilot the No. 23 Allegiant Travel Chevrolet SS.
Short Track Master… This weekend’s event will mark Enfinger’s seventh start at Toledo’s half-mile short track, where he has three top-five finishes. In the 2015 season Enfinger has won at two short tracks, Mobile (Ala.) International Speedway (MIS) and Fairgrounds Speedway Nashville (Tenn.) (FGS). The Fairhope, Ala. native is aiming for his 12th-career trip to ARCA’s victory lane, and his ninth short-track win.
Points Leader… Enfinger has a total of 1230 points after the fifth race of 2015 at Talladega Superspeedway, and has a 100-point lead over second-place David Levine in the championship point standings.
Chassis Choice… GMS Racing will be the first organization to race the new Five-Star Chevrolet SS composite body in the ARCA Racing Series. Enfinger will pilot chassis No. 200. GMS Racing most recently employed this chassis at Kansas Speedway last October with Enfinger the No. 90 Chevrolet.

Grant Enfinger Quote:
“I feel really good about Toledo (Speedway) this weekend. I know everyone at GMS Racing is really excited about bringing the new Chevrolet SS composite body with us and try to turn our luck around and get back in victory lane with our Allegiant Travel Chevy. I cannot thank everyone at GMS Racing enough for their hard work putting this piece together and testing earlier in the week. Toledo is a fast paced racetrack, especially for being a half-mile, and we’re looking forward to the challenge and hopefully grab another win for GMS Racing.”
