• Ford Fact… Ford-powered F-150’s have found victory lane 100 times since 1995 in the Gander Truck Series however, AMS is one of four tracks on the 2020 schedule Ford Performance has yet to find victory lane.

Chatting with Grant Enfinger…

“Atlanta (Motor Speedway) is an awesome track with a ton of character. It has one of the most abrasive surfaces as well as a lot of bumps. With all of that it provides us with multiple grooves to use during the course of a tire run. We had a good run there last year and we are bringing a similar setup in our ThorSport Racing F-150. Hopefully we can make it a touch better and get Ford Performance their first Gander Trucks win at AMS on Saturday.”
