GILLILAND 23rd: TCM, Gilliland Team Up for NiSWC Darlington Race

Update – Nick Ottinger went to victory lane for the third time this season in the NASCAR iRacing.com Series World Championship, this time in Round Six at Darlington. Ottinger, who is running for the Tim’s Corner Challenge, closed to within a point of series leader Tyler Hudson for the top spot.

Adam Gilliland got swept up in a wreck with fellow Tim’s Corner Challenge driver Rich Dusett early in the race and bounced back to 23rd at the end, good enough to cash in $25 iRacing credits for Brian Tedeschi. Congrats to Brian and thanks to everyone who participated.
