After driving to his second NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series victory of the season on Saturday, Fairhope’s Grant Enfinger had a big announcement. While talking about winning the Toyota 200 at World Wide Technology Raceway in Madison, Illinois, on FOX Sports televised coverage of the race, Enfinger said that was “as good a time as any” to announce that he and his wife were expecting their second child.

By winning on Saturday, Enfinger delivered a bundle of joy to GMS Racing, too. He earned a $50,000 bonus for capturing the second race of the series’ Triple Truck Challenge.

“I forgot about that, to be honest with you, until right now,” Enfinger said. “It’s just so hard to win these races. And if it was about money, we’d have quit a long time ago…

“It’s been a rocky year. But these last five races, I feel like we’ve come to our own.”

After rolling off 10th, Enfinger had led 57 laps and posted his first stage victory of the season by winning the first segment on Saturday. But he was running third with the laps about to run out when Ty Majeski and Zane Smith wrecked while battling for the lead.

Enfinger led the next five laps under caution as the wreck sent the race into overtime.

On the final restart, Enfinger pulled ahead of Christian Eckes on the first lap and led all the way around on the second to take the checkered flag in the No. 23 Champion Power Equipment Chevrolet by 0.256 seconds.

The ninth truck series victory of Enfinger’s career was his second in five races. He also won the Heart of America 200 at Kansas Speedway on May 6.

Despite Enfinger’s assessment that 2023 has been “a rocky year,” Saturday’s victory moved Enfinger within nine points of series leader Corey Heim, with Majeski between them in the season standings.
