Gilliland Notches Fourth K&N Pro West Win
Gilliland Notches Fourth K&N Pro West Win
Dominates The Field At Iowa Speedway
NEWTON, IOWA (July 29, 2016) - NEWTON, IOWA - Todd Gilliland registered his fourth win of the season, leading 116-of-150 laps on his way to Victory Lane in Friday night's Casey's General Store 150 NASCAR K&N Pro Series combination race at Iowa Speedway.
The 16-year-old NASCAR Next driver from Sherrill's Ford, North Carolina, took the green flag from the second starting position behind NASCAR Next alumnus Kyle Benjamin and swapped the lead with him twice before taking the point from Benjamin heading into the halfway break.
Once the contest restarted, Benjamin grabbed the lead once again on Lap 81, but was quickly tracked down by Gilliland two go-arounds later. Gilliland sped away from Benjamin and the rest of the field, leading the final 68 laps of the race.
Benjamin finished second, followed by Austin Theriault, Collin Cabre and Ryan Partridge.
While Riley Herbst, Justin Haley, Hunter Baize, Gracin Raz and John Holleman IV rounded out the top 10.
In addition to his four wins this season, Gilliland now boasts seven top fives in eight NASCAR K&N Pro Series West starts. His Bill McAnally Racing team has won the last three races at Iowa Speedway.
The Casey's General Store 250 from Iowa Speedway will air on NBCSN Friday, Aug. 5 at 2 p.m. ET.
The NASCAR K&N Pro Series East will be back in action at Watkins Glen International Friday, Aug. 5, while the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West takes the track next at Evergreen Speedway in Monroe, Washington, Saturday, Aug. 13.
