Met Your Camping World Truck Series Knoxville Winner - Todd Gilliland

 

Todd Gilliland maintained the lead in the final laps of the Camping World Truck Series race and took the checkered flag at Knoxville Raceway dirt track on Saturday. Todd took the opportunity of his regular series off weekend to race for his father's team, David Gilliland Racing. What a great Father’s Day Present!

 

“This will make tomorrow a lot more fun,” said Gilliland, who plans to enjoy brunch and play golf with his father on Sunday. “The Cup Series is tough, just racing every single week. I’ve had like a million people ask me, ‘Is this really what you want to do on your off week?’

 

“Absolutely. Nothing beats racing. I tell everyone I’m young, and I wish I could do this every single week of the year. … I love the trucks. I ran here forever, it felt like. So to be able to come back and to get one, it’s so special.”
