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."
