Todd Gilliland Key Takeaways
Stage One: 5th / Stage Two: 17th / Race Result: 22nd
“We had a solid qualifying spot and were able to grab some stage points early, but after pitting at the end of Stage One, we got shuffled to the back,” said Gilliland. “I got spun in Stage Two, and from there, we just couldn’t recover the track position. While I’m disappointed with the result, Mexico City was an incredible experience. The fans, the food, the track—everything made the trip worth it. Hopefully, we get the chance to come back.”

“It was an extremely challenging weekend,” said Gragson. “We unloaded with a car that felt decent and had some speed, but I skimmed the wall during first practice. Turned out to be more damage than we thought and had to go to the backup. During the race, we fought lateral grip and lost first gear about a third of the way through—probably damaged the transaxle on one of the three times we got spun. Really proud of the guys for all the hard work they put in —everyone stayed locked in and battled through it.”

Stage One: 35th / Stage Two: 35th / Race Result: 35th
“Tough weekend overall,” said Smith. “Fought handling in practice and qualifying, and when we really started making some ground in the race, I just lost traction, and we killed both rear toe links. If nothing happened there, I feel like we had a shot for a pretty solid finish. You’ll have that and we’ll move onto Pocono where we’re hoping the speed we had in Michigan and some of the other bigger tracks follows us.”
