Gilliland Finishes 13th Searching for Speed at Homestead

Todd Gilliland was hoping to finish the season with a win, but it wasn’t meant to be Friday night at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Gilliland searched for speed throughout practice, qualifying and the race in his No. 4 JBL/SiriusXM Tundra, but never found quite the right balance to fight his way to the front and contend for the win. He did gain valuable experience by running every lap and finishing 13th.
