If you think driving 4 hours to the beach with kids is bad, imagine being confined to the cab of a Kenworth truck, listening to Grant sing along with George Jones during a cross country journey. Grant, Zach & Jim will leave the North Carolina shop Saturday, heading to Iowa Speedway for a Monday test session. That race track, more than 1,100 miles from the race shop, will be the venue for the next ARCA race July 10th.

Although Grant and the crew were deeply disappointed by the mechanical failure at Michigan Speedway, they have been hard at work since returning to the North Carolina Shop. “We have inspected every wire and electrical connection in the car, looking for anything which could have caused the alternator to cease operation. We have replaced anything which looked iffy and we are determined to keep on working for a win. The BeasleyAllen.com ARCA car is going to victory lane this year, and hopefully it will be in Iowa. It will be a long trip for a one day test, just 2 weeks before we have to make the trip for the race, but I am determined to do everything possible to put us in the best position to win.”

PIT STOP AT MICHIGAN SPEEDWAY

The Iowa track is a state of the art facility designed by retired Cup star Rusty Wallace. It is 7/8 mile in length and has a wide racing surface with multiple racing “grooves” which usually results in lots of side by side racing and exciting competition. That race will be televised nationally on Speed TV.
