“The Richmond race is going to be really aggressive. You’ll have guys trying to race their way into the Chase. We aren’t in the position of racing for a Chase spot this year, but we are most definitely still racing for our points. Where we end up at the end of the year is very important for our team. So, we’re still going to be racing hard. But you are definitely aware of what’s going on and who’s racing for what. We also will have our partners from The Pete Store on our car this weekend, so we want to have a good finish for them.”
JUST THE FACTS: Gilliland has 18 Sprint Cup starts at Richmond International Raceway … His best finish is 18th (2008) … The Pete Store returns as primary sponsor of the No. 38 at the 3/4-mile oval … The Peterbilt dealer group has three locations in Virginia, including one in Richmond… Draft Kings also joins the team as an associate sponsor … Gilliland will be at the Ford Performance display in the raceway’s fan zone on Saturday at 4:40 p.m.
