BOBBY GRIGAS, III FINISHES 24th IN MOD TOUR DEBUT

It was a weekend full of twists and turns for the young Massachusetts driver. First, he qualified 17th among the 40 plus entries for the race. Then, picked up a pit crew of experienced helpers in the pit area who put forth a great effort in the event. Finally, he made it into the top 10 and was still moving forward when he got into a three-wide battle for position that went bad and dropped him out of the event with a 24th-place finish.

“It was definitely an experience in itself,” Grigas said of the weekend. “I had awesome guys. The pit stop was unbelievable. I just wanted to get my feet wet. I got some of the best guys helping me also. So I had to really run well just because I had some of the best helping me out. The whole team is awesome. I couldn’t ask for more.”

Grigas put 100% effort into every lap of the race. That earned him both praise and a little bit of criticism from veterans after the event, but Grigas isn’t about to slow down.

“Sure I was a little aggressive for a 150-lap race but I am sure that I will learn from my errors. I just had a blast out there. I made a couple of friends letting them in front of me and I made a couple of enemies today too. In every race you cannot go without making enemies. What can you do? You can’t always have friends in racing. “

Grigas returns to action this weekend in the Oktoberfest 100, which is the season finale for the True Value Modified Racing Series. The race will take place at Lee USA Speedway (NH) on Sunday, October 22nd.
