  • Chassis History/Info: Grant Enfinger will race with GMS Racing chassis no. 331 at the track dubbed “Too Tough To Tame”. This chassis debuted in 2020, and was driven to victory lane at Michigan International Speedway by Zane Smith in the same year. Last season, it competed twice at Darlington with Smith, highlighted by a ninth place finish in September. Enfinger has raced this truck once before at Atlanta Motor Speedway earlier this year, where he led fourteen laps en route to a 12th place finish. – On The Right Track: After experiencing a tumultuous start to the 2022 racing campaign, Grant Enfinger, Charles Denike, and the No. 23 GMS Racing team have began to hit on some solid consistency! Over the course of the past three races, they have earned three top-10 finishes in a row, including a high of two eighth place finishes. As a result, Enfinger has moved up to 11th in the drivers’ points standings, gaining a whopping fourteen spots since the season opener in Daytona.
  • Darlington Contender: Since the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series made its return to Darlington Raceway in 2020, Grant Enfinger has been a constant threat to win. Fun fact, Grant is the only driver to have finished inside the top-10 in all three races since the return. With finishes of fourth, fifth, and sixth, Enfinger is also tied for having the best average finish among all active drivers at the historic venue. – GE Quote: “I’m excited to get going on Friday night. Not only is Darlington one of the best tracks that we go to, but it also starts the beginning of an eight race stretch. We feel like we’ve learned a good bit during the earlier part of the season, and now we have the opportunity to implement some improvements. I know Charles and our GMS Racing team will have us a Champion Power Equipment Chevy that can contend.”

  • JW Quote: “I’m looking forward to racing again at Darlington this weekend. It’s been a great track for GMS Racing as they swept the races there last year, so I think we have a great opportunity to have a solid run. I believe that we have a good idea of where we need to be for our baseline setup, and as we begin the summer stretch, this is going to be a crucial race to start off on the right foot. We have a bunch of races lined up ahead of us, so a good finish here will help build our momentum going forward.”
