In the month of October, Gilliland has earned an average finish of 20.3.  His career best finish atMartinsville Speedway is 19^th.  On ½ mile tracks this season, Gilliland has averaged a result of 24.6, making the possibility of extending his current streak of top-25’s a very realistic goal.

Sunday’s race will mark the fifth appearance of the season for Long John Silver’s on Gilliland’s No. 38 car.  Coverage begins at 1:00 p.m. ET on ESPN.

David Gilliland on Martinsville:  

“We have a lot of reasons to be optimistic about our chances this weekend.  We’ve had some strong runs on short tracks this season and seem to have found some momentum as of late.  It’s great to have Long John Silver’s back on the car this weekend.  We debuted a new paint scheme for them last week. The car almost looks as good as their new onion rings taste.”
