Grant Enfinger expressed disappointment after a retaliation from Corey Heim essentially cost Enfinger the championship in a NASCAR race. Enfinger stated that the championship race came down to a chaotic ending with multiple green-white checkers. Rich Lushes mentioned that Enfinger could have wrecked Ben Rhodes since it was how everyone raced that night and GMS Racing was shutting down. Enfinger finished in second place.
😞 "It's just incredibly disappointing to have our championship race come down to an absolute mess." @GrantEnfinger came oh so close to sending @GMSRacingLLC out in style with a title but settled for 2nd after a chaotic ending at Phoenix. https://t.co/9qevEg9U2o
Rich Lushes says he would "100%" have understood if Grant Enfinger drove into Turns 3 and 4 and wrecked Ben Rhodes since it was how everyone raced tonight. Plus, he noted Enfinger had nothing to lose with GMS Racing shutting down.
Grant Enfinger, sitting next to Corey Heim in the postrace press conference, says it's "unfortunate" the retaliation from Heim on Hocevar with three laps to go essentially cost Enfinger the championship.
"I don't know what I would do different. It's an unfortunate way to end GMS Racing. We had the championship in grasp with three to go ..." - Grant Enfinger
"It's a shame that the championship came down to a race like that... 15 green white checkers or whatever it was..." -@GrantEnfinger #NASCAR
