Seven cautions slowed the field during the Truck Series race at Kansas Speedway on May 6th, 2023, but the No. 23 NASCAR Chevy Silverado RST of Grant Enfinger made it to the end without incident to secure his first victory of 2023.
“It was a huge night for us,” said Enfinger, who led 65 laps on his way to the win. “From the drop of the green flag, we had a really really good Chevy Silverado. Just started out really tight. Once [crew chief) Jeff (Hensley] made one adjustment on it, I felt like from that point forward, we were potentially the best truck out there.”
The victory at Kansas marks the eighth of Enfinger’s career, and his first-ever at Kansas.
Meanwhile, Rajah Caruth, driver of the No. 24 Chevy Silverado, was involved in a wreck on Lap 72, spinning across the nose of the No. 98 Toyota TRD Camry of Ty Majeski.
“It was really close, and we had a long way to go,” Caruth said, obviously frustrated after the contact with the No. 98 Toyota of Majeski. “I was trying to cover the top, and he just kind of hooked me there. Good to know. I didn’t double-move or anything. I picked the top there, and he just took me.”
Corey Heim’s No. 11 Tundra finished second after a hard battle with the No. 38 Ford F-150 of Zane Smith. Stewart Friesen’s No. 52 Tundra finished fourth, while the No. 41 NASCAR Chevy of Ross Chastain rounded out the top five.
