Q. Grant Enfinger comes up just a little bit short of the championship. Fifth in the race, fourth in the championship. Grant, what more did you need there at the end to get up there and battle for it?
GRANT ENFINGER: Honestly, just more speed. Really proud of the CR7 Motorsports group, all we’ve overcome all year.
I feel like we came here with the right mindset, the right game plan, and honestly pretty much the right execution for the stuff in our control. We just flat out didn’t have the speed tonight.
Jeff was trying everything he could on pit stops. We tried a little strategy there. Probably didn’t help us any just because we only have five laps on our tires. But I commend them for making the call. We had to do something different.
Thank you to everybody that’s allowed us to do this, the whole Grant County Mulch family — Larry, Janie, Cody — everybody in the Champion Power Equipment family.
It is a special year. Definitely disappointing performance for us tonight. But overall proud of everything we did. We just flat out didn’t have the short run speed. I think after 15 laps we were respectable, but just couldn’t go on the short run.
Q. I can tell you Carson, your son right there, he was proud of you. Big smile on his face when he ran up to you. Thanks, Grant.
