Eddie MacDonald came from 21st on the starting grid in the K&N Pro Series
East New Hampshire 125 at NHMS to post a solid tenth place finish. The New
England Mechanical Overlay sponsored Chevy did not have the typical
qualifying run MacDonald and the Grimm Construction Racing Team has come to
expect but the Rowley, Mass. veteran knew he had a fast car.
“We will be just fine for the race, “said MacDonald after the run. “The car
is fast but the nose just wouldn’t drop down but I know it will be good. We
know how to get around this place and we will be ready to make any
adjustments if necessary. We just have to be careful to avoid anything that
happens but we are not going to be patient and sit back. We are going to
go.”
