  • Continuing to Build: As the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season nears the mid-way point during the summer stretch, veteran Grant Enfinger has continued to show strength on a consistent basis. Enfinger, who has earned two top-fives and five top-tens in nine races this season, has quietly closed in on some stout competition in the points standings. Currently ninth in points, Grant is searching for his first win of the season this weekend at Charlotte. - GE Quote: “I look forward to racing at Charlotte Motor Speedway this weekend with my No. 23 Champion Power Equipment team. It is always nice to race at home, so I generally have this race circled on my calendar. Charles won here a couple years ago as a crew chief with GMS Racing, so I’m hoping we can duplicate that success this weekend.”

  • JW Quote: “Personally, I really like racing at Charlotte because I feel that the layout really suits my driving style. This track is home to our NASCAR industry as a whole, and it’s great to run in front of the hometown fans. Last year, I was fortunate to run in two races at the speedway with my GMS Racing team, and I think that having that experience will be a big help this weekend. We were able to contend up front during the ARCA race and ran top-15 in the truck, so I have some solid confidence heading into this week.”
