DRIVER TODD GILLILAND:
“This is a big weekend. Talladega, like any other superspeedway race, is all about surviving and being there in the end. We’ve brought speed to Daytona and Atlanta and we plan on bringing it to Talladega as well. Ryan (Bergenty) and the team have worked all week getting this Ford Mustang Dark Horse ready, I just have to execute and hit my marks.”
CREW CHIEF RYAN BERGENTY:
“This weekend is big for Todd and Front Row Motorsports. Todd has shown much maturity on these superpeedways, the proof is there, we just need to be there in the end. We’re bringing a fast Ford Mustang Dark Horse as usual, Todd just needs to qualify up front and stay out of the chaos. I’m confident we can do that.”
