GRANT ENFINGER TURNS A TRACK-BEST START INTO A TRACK-BEST FINISH, FINISHING SECOND AT ELDORA SPEEDWAY
“I feel like we had the position on him (Chase Briscoe) – we really had equal trucks. Both of our ThorSport Racing Ford F-150’s was really, really good. Really equal. I thought I had the spot on him in Turns 3 and 4 – he kinda used us up down there. Nothing dirty, same thing I would have done, just the last lap at Eldora for a really big race. Congratulations to those guys, but man I wish we could have gotten one for this No. 98 Protect The Harvest Team. All-and-all a good points night for us with three races to go.”
