Gearing up with Grant Enfinger:

"I'm looking forward to getting back behind the wheel of my RIDE TV Toyota Tundra this weekend. I've had some success at Kansas Speedway in the ARCA Racing Series, so I'm looking forward to getting back to the track after five weeks off. Jeff Hensley and the crew have been working hard, and I think we learned a couple things at the Charlotte test last week, that will help us across the board on the intermediate tracks. So, look for us to be a strong contender Friday night."
