Bill McAnally Racing swept the podium in NASCAR K&N Pro Series West action at Evergreen Speedway  on Saturday as Rookie Todd Gilliland is breaking all types of NASCAR Records*!!!

BMR President Bill McAnally talked of the work that has gone into all the BMR teams this year. “The results come with effort,” he said. “Everybody has been working so hard to bring these results in. I’m happy we can do it for our sponsors, our fans, and everybody.”

Todd won the NAPA AUTO PARTS 150 presented by Toyota, with teammates Chris Eggleston taking second and Riley Herbst finishing third. It marked the third straight victory and fifth overall this season for Gilliland in the No. 16 NAPA AUTO PARTS Toyota Camry and represents BMR's seventh win in the first nine races in 2016. The reigning series champion,  Chris Eggleston won at Orange Show Speedway and Colorado National Speedway. Todd also has five poles while Chris can boast of two.

Todd, a member of the NASCAR Next program that spotlights NASCAR’s rising stars, is a third-generation competitor in the series. His father, David, won a pole award at Evergreen Speedway in 2004 and his grandfather, Butch, scored wins there in 1996 and 1998.

Todd Gilliland now has a twelve-point lead over Ryan Partridge in the series championship points standings with five races remaining. Partridge took both pole and the win at Tucson Speedway.

The NAPA Auto Parts 150 presented by Toyota will air on NBCSN Thursday, Aug. 25 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
