DRIVER TODD GILLILAND:
“I like Martinsville. I have a clock in my living room from when I won in the Truck Series, and I would like to add another. There’s still plenty to race for—two more races to win and two more to increase our points position.”
CREW CHIEF RYAN BERGENTY:
“The next two races are big for us. I want to look back on the season and know we didn’t leave anything on the table. We’re bringing a fast Ford Mustang Dark Horse, we just need to focus on executing and minimizing mistakes. If we can do that, it will be a good weekend.”
