MARTINSVILLE, Va. – After a welcome breather at his home track, Talladega Superspeedway, the intensity of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Playoffs returns for Grant Enfinger in Saturday’s Texas Roadhouse 200 at Martinsville (1 p.m. ET on FS1, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
Enfinger earned a relatively stress-free trip to Talladega with an impressive victory at Las Vegas in the second race of the Round of 8. That win guaranteed him a spot in the Round of 6, but entering Saturday’s race at NASCAR’s shortest track, Enfinger is four points ahead of Justin Haley in fourth, with the Playoff set to be cut to four drivers two weeks later at Phoenix.
“Talladega was kind of an anomaly for us,” Enfinger told the NASCAR Wire Service on Saturday morning at Martinsville. “We’ve kind of had the same mind-set all year long, to be aggressive but also be smart. We still need stage points, everything we can get. Every position matters. That’s the mind-set this weekend.
“Obviously, it was a huge load off to get that win and to automatically advance through the last round, but now everything’s the same (after the points reset). It would be really nice to do that again this weekend, and I feel like we’ve got a truck that can do it. We’ve had really good Ford Performance F-150s the last couple months here. It seems like we’ve really elevated.”
