Eddie MacDonald survived an early spin to claim the sixth place finish in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East race at Gresham Motorsports Park in Jefferson, Georgia. The run vaulted the team into sixth place in the point’s
race with six races remaining. A three hour rain delay pushed the green flag starting time to 11 pm. for the Slack Auto Parts 150 for the 30-car grid on the half-mile oval.
The Grimm Construction Chevy qualified in the 20th position (17.698 sec,-101.706 mph) with the veteran driver saying, “We obviously wanted to start near the front but we knew the car was fast and would be there at the end. We were fifth fastest in the first practice and then made changes for the second practice (13th fastest), so we knew we the car was handling well. Our plan was just to take what we could get and be patient. Unfortunately, I was the one that messed up that strategy.”
