Todd Gilliand competes surprising In-Season Challenge run by collecting $1 million paycheck

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Todd Gilliland reached the final round of NASCAR’s second In-Season Challenge by taking advantage of all the right breaks.

Daniel Suarez suffered an early tire problem in Round 1 at Sonoma and finished 31st. Carson Hocevar crashed early at Chicago in Round 2. Alex Bowman finished two laps behind the leaders at Atlanta in Round 3, then made a pit lane mistake at North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, that helped eliminate Chase Elliott and put Gilliland in Sunday’s finale at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
