Bobby Grigas III Picks Up Thompson Sunoco Modified Ride For 2008

By admin March 7, 2008

Concord, NC — Most racecar drivers spend Thursday nights preparing for their busy weekends at the track. This season, Bobby Grigas III will instead spend those evenings moonlighting as the driver of a Sunoco Modified in the Whelen All-American Series at Thompson International Speedway. Grigas will drive an entry owned by Jimmy Page of Blackstone, Massachusetts, in the full schedule of Sunoco Modified races for 2008.

“I’ll be driving the #00 Sunoco Modified at Thompson,” said Grigas, who raced a Late Model at the track on a regular basis earlier in his career. “I’m psyched to go back to Thompson. For the last two years, I’ve wanted to get a Sunoco Modified ride there. When we go there [with the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour], I always try to watch the Sunoco Modified racing. They are so exciting and I get pumped watching that. It is hard-core racing – going out and banging wheels to win. That’s the kind of racing that I like. My parents told me that it seems like I’m even more excited about going and racing there then I am to race on the Tour.”
