Gilliland on Phoenix: “The most fun part about Phoenix is definitely the restarts now that the backstretch and frontstretch are flipped around. You can make up, or lose a lot right there. Racing there is really tough. You have to maintain your track position because of the dirty air. I won my first race at Phoenix (K&N West), but since then I haven’t run great, so we’re hoping to get back to running well there and end the truck season on a high note.”
