Eddie MacDonald and the Grimm Racing Team will travel west this week to
compete in the season finale for the K & N Pro Series West at Phoenix
International Raceway. The 3 Amigos Tequila 125 will be held on Saturday,
November 13th as a prelim to the NASCAR Sprint Cup Chase race to be run on
Sunday.<\/p>\n
“We have wanted to run out there for some time and the entire team is really
pleased to be going out there to compete with the west guys,” said
MacDonald. “It will be a lot of fun to be part of another Chase weekend and
we hope to have a good finish. The west guys definitely have an advantage at
Phoenix since they run there twice a year but the track is similar in some
ways to Loudon in length and banking, so hopefully we will have the right
set up there. I know Rollie and the crew are excited about racing there and
putting on a good show. “<\/p>\n
The final will be the twelfth race of the season for the K&N Pro Series West
as Eric Holmes has dominated with five wins in eleven races and will
certainly present a challenge to MacDonald and the rest of the field. “Eric
is having an awesome year and has had great success at Phoenix over the
years but there are also a lot of other guys who can get it done. We have
seen how well David Mayhew runs and Paulie Harraka has had a great season.
We have run with most of those guys at Iowa and Irwindale so we know what to
expect. They are every bit as competitive as the guys in the East series.”
MacDonald and crew chief Rollie LaChance would like nothing better than to
steal the win out there with Eddie Mac saying, “We finished fifth in the
points race this year and we did not have a win so the season was a little
disappointing.<\/p>\n
It would be great to take the win out there to finish the
season off strong. Everyone on the team is happy to be racing out in Phoenix
but we are not just going for the fun of it, we are going there to win.”
Practice and qualifying for the 3 Amigos Tequila 125 on the mile oval will
be held on Thursday then have Friday off before competing on Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
