Go Grant Enfinger
A post of appreciation for a truck series great.
Grant Enfinger is an elite trucker. Since lap-by-lap data was made available beginning with the 2020 season, he's had an average running position in the top ten in four of five seasons — the only exception, in 2021, when he had a 10.59. 63 drivers have run 20 races in that timeframe; his ARP of 9.67 is tenth best.

| Austin Hill | 46 | 3 | 7.52 | 8.56 | 10.80 | 71.7 |
| Todd Gilliland | 43 | 1 | 10.67 | 9.29 | 13.33 | 60.5 |

I've excluded dirt races because they've all been pure chaos. His success rate is ninth best in the same period:

A really impressive run. If I was running a team in the truck series or Xfinity series and I wanted to be good, I'd be looking at Enfinger.
