News and Notes
Jul 23
This week: Gilliland finished 17th in his first Sprint Cup start at Indy last year. After finishing 16th at Pocono in June, Gilliland believes he will be able to improve on that finish this weekend. "I think the closest track which is similar to Indy is Pocono and we had a great test (and run) there earlier this season, so I'm looking forward to a good, solid run for our Ford this weekend," said Gilliland.
Last race: Gilliland's car had engine failure with only eight laps remaining and finished 42nd at Chicagoland Speedway in his last Cup start. That dropped him to 24th in the standings.
Etc.: Gilliland hopes the week off didn't stop the momentum he thinks the team has. "Momentum's hard to get, and I feel like we've got some here lately," said Gilliland. "We've been as competitive as we've ever been, if not more, the last few weeks. I think that Yates Racing is building on that and taking advantage of the momentum, and doing, really, everything we can with it."
