Max Gresham Looking To Take NASCAR K&N Win At ‘Home’ Track
Press Release
After all, the event is at his family-owned racetrack, right?
“Honestly, I don’t have that many laps at GMP,” said Gresham, who will wheel the No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota in Saturday’s NASCAR K&N race. “I raced in the World Crown 300 there last year and I’ve had a couple of test sessions in my Gibbs’ K&N car and my Gresham Motorsports ARCA car, but that’s it.”
Gresham, the grandson of GMP track owner Jim Gresham, has had a stellar year winning two NASCAR K&N events (South Boston and Iowa). The two victories ties Gresham with Darrell Wallace, Jr. for the division lead in wins this season.
Gresham is currently fifth in the K&N Series East championship standings.
At GMP Saturday, Gresham will be looking to send his family and large group of Woodward Academy classmates attending the race home with a victory.
“Racing at my family’s race track is going to be a cool,” Max said. “It will be neat to have the support of the fans that come to see the race. Knowing that many of my family members and classmates will be there will be cool too. It means a lot. I’d like nothing better than to give my grandfather, family and friends a win. That’s what we’ll be shooting for.”
Saturday’s American Fence Association 150 Presented By Mayfield Ice Creamier will open with an 11 a.m. practice. Qualifying is set for 4 p.m. with an autograph session set for 5 p.m.
Opening ceremonies are set for 6:45 p.m. with the first race rolling off at 7:30 p.m.
