- We Build Champions: Enfinger has fond memories of Kansas Speedway, where in 2015, he was crowned the ARCA Menards Series champion. Surrounded by some of his close family members and friends, Grant celebrated one of the biggest moments in his racing career, which also marked the first championship for GMS Racing. For that reason, this track will always hold a special place in his heart.

– From The Drivers Seat: Enfinger’s thoughts on racing at Kansas Speedway this weekend:
“I am excited to return to Kansas Speedway, and I’m honored to have Chevy Military Appreciation on our Silverado this week. I feel like our No. 23 team has built fast trucks this year, we just need to execute. We learned a lot last year about these intermediate tracks that will help us contend for a win this weekend. It’s very important that we hit all our marks as a team, and learn all we can for when we return later in the year. I enjoyed these two off-weekends, but I am ready to get back to it, and this should be a good five-race stretch for us.”
