Gilliland’s Island

Congragulations to David Gilliland for winning the NASCAR Grand National Division, West Series race at Infineon yesterday (aka Blue Lizard 200).
To be honest the biggest challange for Gilliland was to not run into the back of the pace truck. The race had its moments, but was somewhat marred by the number of laps under caution, particularly when there didn't seem to be that many incidents. Gilliland took first place from PJ Jones followed by Boris Said who also put in good performances.
Special mention should go to Jason Bowles in the 22 car that had one of those days where everything was going wrong. Also Carlos Contreras in the 12 car. Although neither Rick or Eric finished in the top 10, it was not for lack of trying. Both these drivers made the race exciting making several excellent passing moves in front of us on turn 7, like the one pictured below.
