Grant Enfinger heads into Mobile International Speedway as the defending race winner. He also won last month’s ARCA Series opener at Daytona International Speedway.
Enfinger hails from Fairhope, Alabama and considers Mobile and Talladega Superspeedway as his home tracks.
After finishing runner-up four times and third place ten times, the Alabama driver finally reached victory lane last March at Mobile. Enfinger led a race-high 165 laps on his way to a dominant victory.
He and the #90 BCR Racing team ran the first five ARCA races in 2013, before funding forced the team to go on a part-time basis. The #90 car only appeared three more times with Enfinger, but contended for the win every time.
In 2012, Enfinger finished runner-up to current Sprint Cup Series rookie Alex Bowman in the ARCA race at Iowa Speedway.
Coming down to the late stages of the 2013 Iowa race, he had to battle another youngster. It was 16-year-old Kyle Weatherman, driving a Dodge for Andy Hillenburg’s Fast Track Racing team. Weatherman went too high and got into the marbles into turn two and Enfinger took advantage by passing him with six laps to go. At the checkered flag, Enfinger grabbed his second victory of the season.
2014 started off with a bang as he won ARCA’s biggest race, the Lucas Oil 200 at Daytona.
“This means so much not only to me but to everyone on this team,” says Grant Enfinger. “It’s great accomplishment for me in my career to win at Daytona and for Team BCR. There’s only four of us that work on both Justin Allison’s and my car during the week, so to see all of our hard work paid off, means a lot.”
Enfinger will once again look to conquer the ARCA-Mobile 200 at the half-mile Mobile International Speedway on Saturday, March 22 at 2 pm ET. If he wins again, Enfinger becomes the first driver since Jimmy Horton in 1990 to win the first two ARCA races of the season.
