NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Eldora Speedway – Eldora Dirt Derby Race No. 11 of 23 Team Information: Driver Point Standings: 6th Owner Point Standings: 8th Sunoco Rookie of the Year Contender 2017 Stage Points: 48 2017 Playoff Points: 0 Sounding Off - Grant Enfinger: Although you’ll be making your debut at Eldora Speedway on Wednesday, you have some experience racing on dirt in the ARCA Racing Series. Do you feel like that experience will help you Wednesday night? “I don’t know if any of my dirt track experience from ARCA is going to help me in Eldora. The tracks I’ve run at, DuQuoin and Springfield, in the ARCA Racing Series are one mile, flat tracks, and Eldora is obviously a short track with some high banking. So, its definitely going to be different, but I am really looking forward to it.” News & Notes: • Chassis Chatter... The No. 98 ThorSport Racing (TSR) team will unload chassis No. 39 for Wednesday night’s Eldora Dirt Derby at Eldora Speedway in New Weston, OH.
