Enfinger's truck series win kicks off fan-free racing weekend at Richmond Raceway

Grant Enfinger, driver of No. 98 for ThorSport Racing, passed his teammate Matt Crafton in the No. 88 for the lead with seven laps to go and never looked back to win the ToyotaCare 250 NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series regular season finale at Richmond Raceway (Richmond).

“It was definitely a special night for us,” said Enfinger. “I feel like we are going to the playoffs with some momentum. Proud of our guys. Proud of the guys on pit road.”

Enfinger’s crew chief, Jeff Hensley, was also part of the winning team in the last Gander Trucks race at RR in 2005.

“Fifteen years apart, but at this point in my career I’ll take a streak any way and any how I can get one,” said Hensley. “The principles are still the same, but the players are different.”

Enfinger, who won the first and last race of the Gander Trucks regular season, is now tied for a series best three wins this year. He also completed his ninth top-10 finish. It was his fifth victory in 99 Gander Trucks races and first victory and top-10 finish in his series track debut at Richmond.

The first of three Round of 10 races will take place next Thursday at Bristol Motor Speedway at 7:30 p.m. ET on FS1, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.

Friday night, the raceway will host the Go Bowling 250 NASCAR Xfinity Series race at 7 p.m., and Sept. 12, the track will host the second race of the first round of the NASCAR playoffs, the ninth annual Federated Auto Parts 400, beginning at 7:30 p.m. No fans will be permitted for either race, but both will be televised nationally on NBCSN.
