Q & A’s with Grant Enfinger
You and your teammate, Justin Allison, tested at Daytona in December. How did testing go and how will those results guide you going into the race?
“Testing in December isn’t really anything like the actual race. There are only a few cars out on the track at a time during the test. I personally was not able to do any drafting while I was at the Daytona test but my teammate Justin got the chance to draft and ended up 3rd overall on the weekend’s speed charts. We both thought we learned a lot and were able to change what we could, so we can come back to compete for a win.”
You qualified 6th last season for the Daytona race and also had an outstanding 2013 season, capturing your first two wins. How will this help you for the 2014 Lucas Oil 200?
“After knocking on the door for quite some time, Team BCR and I were very excited about our first two wins. It gave us the confidence we needed and I think that momentum will carry over to 2014.”
“Team BCR and Howard Bixman have given me great cars and we wouldn’t have been able to grab those wins without Casite or Motor Honey on board with us. Casite gave us a great opportunity to expand our partnership, by welcoming one of their national retailers, Advance Auto Parts this season. I’m also proud to have Stanley Industries continue their partnership with the team and I as we make our way into the 2014 season.”
“We’ve been putting months of preparation into my car. I’m excited to just get to the track and see what everyone else has, and ultimately see our hard work paid off.”
