BOBBY GRIGAS, III FINISHES IN TOP 10 AT LEE

It takes a lot of fine-tuning to make a racecar perform ideally. Unfortunately, one can also adjust a little bit too much and that is what happened to Bobby Grigas, III this past weekend for Oktoberfest; the True Value Modified Racing Series season finale, at Lee USA Speedway (NH).

Grigas finished ninth with a less than cooperative racecar.

“We just tightened up the car too much,” said Grigas. “We just missed the setup. I think that I was the first car that was a lap down at the finish. I think that there were only five or six cars on the lead lap. So all in all, I got a top ten and I had about a 24th place car.”

Grigas had pitted under caution during lap 15 of the race.

“The car was handling way too tight. We tried to free it a little more. It got better but it was still tight and then it started to get loose and I was totally upset. It was not the finish that I wanted but I got a top 10, with an absolutely horrible handling car. That was a top 20 car.

“It was a long weekend,” added Grigas. “I expected a little bit better finish than what we had, but I can say that this is the

turn around point. Since I broke my wrist I have not been finishing the races. I did not finish at Seekonk or Thompson, so hopefully this is the turnaround and I will be able to do something at the Shootout.”

Next on Grigas’ calendar is the North-South Shootout on November 3rd-4th at Concord Motorsports Park.

“I actually jumped out of my car with a smile,” said Grigas. “Not because I did so well, but because I can head down to the North South Shootout with a car that was in one piece.“
