RAB RACING FORMS ALLIANCE WITH GRANT ENFINGER RACING FOR 2010

Concord, NC (1-29-2010) – RAB Racing announced today an alliance with Grant Enfinger Racing (GER), to provide technical support, equipment and other resources for its ARCA Racing Series team for five of the 10 televised races on SPEED during the 2010 season. Enfinger, who will pilot the No. 09 BeasleyAllen.com Ford Fusion, will enter his third year of competition in the series, positioning the family-run and operated team for a competitive year en route to their first victory. 

RAB Racing, a team that has held a presence in the ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX and Menards since 2001 and full time since 2006 has accumulated two poles, led 155 laps and brought home 10 top-5 and 37 top-10 finishes.

“Adding Grant to our line-up this year is something I’m very proud of,” stated Robby Benton, Co-owner and General Manager of RAB Racing with Brack Maggard. “Hopefully we’ll be able to provide the last bit of an edge he needs to find victory lane. Grant has shown that he’s an outstanding racer and I’ve been very impressed with what I’ve seen him do. Most people don’t realize how dedicated he is and it’s refreshing to work with someone who is as hungry as Grant is to win. We’re going to work very hard to get him where he deserves to be.”

In just 11 ARCA Racing Series starts since 2008, Enfinger has amassed four top-5 and five top-10 finishes including a career-best 2^nd at Kentucky Speedway (July, 2009) and Chicagoland Speedway (August, 2009). The 25-year-old Fairhope, AL native also has one top-5 and five top-10 starts and has led 49 laps in two races.

“Positioning ourselves with RAB Racing gives us a solid foundation entering the 2010 season and provides GER with an excellent platform to be competitive.” said Enfinger. “We want to contend for wins, week in and week out and to do that we needed to grow and expand our resources. RAB Racing has a solid foundation in place and has been very competitive in this series and we wanted to align ourselves with such an established, proven team.”

“Each year I want to build on the previous,” continued Enfinger. “I learn more and more every time I get behind the wheel, and that growth will eventually develop into a winning attribute. I feel like we have been competitive in the past but just need that extra push. Now that we have the resources from a team like RAB Racing, I know that it will only be a matter of time before the No. 09 BeasleyAllen.com Ford will be in victory lane.”

Grant will kick off the 2010 season at Daytona International Speedway on Saturday, February 6th when he makes his ARCA Racing Series debut at the 2.5-mile superspeedway. The season opener, Lucas Oil Sick Mist 200, will air live on SPEED at 4:30 PM.
