DRIVER TODD GILLILAND:

“Darlington is such a fun, but difficult and frustrating track. You have to manage your tires and not make any mistakes. We have some momentum from our 14th place finish at Kansas that I know will carry into this weekend. Hopefully we can use it and bring home another solid finish in my throwback scheme.”

CREW CHIEF RYAN BERGENTY:

“Throwback weekend is always special. It’s really cool to see Todd (Gilliland) honoring his roots and not forgetting where he came from. He had a solid showing in last year’s race, and with the momentum we have now, I think we can have another one.”
