EDDIE READY FOR GRESHAM
MOTORSPORTS PARK

With only three races remaining
in the K&N Pro Series East schedule, Eddie MacDonald is prepared
for a solid finish to move into the top five in the championship
point’s race in the American Fence Association 150 presented by
Mayfield Ice Creamier at Gresham Motorsports Park on Saturday,
August 28. The team currently sits in sixth place as they have
come on strong in the last three races.
“We are really expecting to do well at Gresham despite never
racing there because we are bringing the car we raced at
Martinsville and that thing was fast,” said the veteran driver.
“We were running up front there until we had a flat tire that
ending up causing a lot of damage. I believe the tracks are
similar in length (one-half mile) and banking (12 degrees in the
corners), so hopefully we won’t have any issues and have a top
five finish, at least.”
MacDonald received the Wix Filters Leader Award after his
performance leading the most laps at Lee USA Speedway and knows
a similar effort at Gresham is necessary to move into the top
five in points. “We are not too far out of the top five (18
points) and we are in seventh place in owner points so a good
run at Gresham would be awesome. Rob Grimm is such a great guy
the team would really like to finish up strong to get him into
the top five.”
“We have two races left at tracks we have been successful at,
so a really strong run this Saturday will put us in a good
position for the end of the season. We had some frustrating runs
at the beginning of the season and with only ten races, it is
hard to make up lost ground but the team has really come on
strong over the last half. Rollie and the crew have worked
really hard and the results prove it.”
The one day event is scheduled for a morning and afternoon
practice, qualifying at 4:00 pm., and racing at 8:30 pm. for 150
laps. Lap by lap coverage is usually provided on the NE Racing
website and/or NASCAR Home Tracks. Speed will televise the event
on Sept. 2 at 6:00 pm.
