"Watkins Glen has got a lot more speed than Sonoma does, and it's challenging in its own ways. But it's fun and we're looking forward to it. We lost our primary road course car at Sonoma, so we've been working hard to get another car ready, and it's coming out really good. So, I'm eager to get our new Love's Travel Stops Ford on track and try it out."

JUST THE FACTS: Gilliland has seven Sprint Cup starts at Watkins Glen International ... He has one top-20 finish at the 2.5-mile road course ... His best finish at The Glen is 20th (2012) ... Love's Travel Stops returns as primary sponsor of the No. 38 Ford.
