No. 38 gener8tor Ford Mustang Dark Horse:
DRIVER TODD GILLILAND:
“Atlanta definitely seems like a missed opportunity, but it’s in the past. I’m confident Ryan (Bergenty) and the team will bring me a fast gener8tor Ford Mustang Dark Horse. We’ve shown that we have the speed, but just have to execute. Vegas in my eyes is the first true race where at Daytona and Atlanta, is just such a gamble with drafting and the usual superspeedway chaos.”
CREW CHIEF RYAN BERGENTY:
“It’s frustrating we weren’t there at the end at Atlanta, but we still came out of the race with some stage points and respect. Todd (Gilliland) wasn’t up front out of coincidence, he controlled the race and showed that he belongs up there. I’m proud of him and this team and I’m confident that we will leave Vegas with a solid result.”
