Driver Perspective and Team Outlook
Todd Gilliland shares a personal connection to Martinsville, crediting the track as a source of motivation and pride.
“I have always enjoyed going to Martinsville,”
said Gilliland.
“I have the clock from my first truck win in my living room, so it’s a good reminder that I can get the job done. It’s a difficult track to navigate, with a lot of beating and banging and passing being a challenge, but I’m up for it, and I know my team is too. After Talladega, the team and I have a lot of good momentum heading into the final two races of the season, and we want to capitalize on it to finish out the season strong.”
