Todd Gilliland came into the weekend ready to duplicate the run the No. 38 First Phase Credit Card Ford Mustang was building in the first race of the season at Daytona.
Early in Sunday’s race, Gilliand quickly navigated up into the top-20 from a 32nd starting position. The First Phase Credit Card team had no problems racing inside the top-20 in Stage One.
While battling for position at the end of Stage Two, Gilliland fell victim to an accident. Waiting for a push, followed by repairs, Gilliland lost four laps. He was able to continue, but later was forced to retire the First Phase Credit Card Ford Mustang after sustaining damage to the rear diffuser.
GILLILAND ON TALLADEGA:
“This was a tough race on us. We were super quick when the race got going and had the speed to be up in contention all race. It stinks that we ended up pretty damaged from that big wreck. We need to regroup and focus on Dover.”
TIL NEXT TIME, I AM STILL WORKING ON MY REDNECK!
