Robby's position is based upon owner points, Dvids is based upon qualifying position.
I expect Robby will drop back a little and get behind Gilliland and push him to the front into the transfer spot. Robby is in, I'm sure the stragegy will be to get Gilliland in the show. Robby can help by pushing him.
Lol...exactly..wasnt this covered extensively here this last week? lol.
Robby was always going to be in Duel #2 as of 1 minute after Homestead (barring any teams folding and their owner Pts not being bought)..his Qual time determined his starting spot in Duel #2.
Luckily, the GOGH qual times worked out that Gililand is also in Duel #2.....who has a good shot of racing in I think.
After using my Craftsman model 1019 Laboratory Edition Signature Series torque wrench...the kind used by Caltech high energy physicists and NASA engineers which had been calibrated by top members of the state AND federal Department of Weights and Measures... to be dead on balls accurate....that's an industry term....
I have determined that Gililand needs to beat out at least 8 (or all 9) of the following 9 drivers:
Speed, Labonte, Bliss, Mears, Almirola, Blaney, Cope, Wallace, and Benning..
Speed and Labonte are already in the show, so they may not be so inclined to risk their primary cars when push comes to shove...so I think our boy Gililand, with Robby being able to help him, has a very good shot
