Following the ARCA Menards Series / ARCA Menards Series East combination event at Bristol Motor Speedway on September 16, one team owner has been penalized by series officials for what the sanctioning body has determined “non-compliant activities”.
David Gilliland, co-owner of David Gilliland Racing’s No. 17, No. 46 and No. 54 Ford Fusion entries, has been fined $1,500, placed on probation throughout the remainder of the season and suspended for one race, for violating Section 12-8.1 of the ARCA Member Conduct Guidelines.
On Thursday, Robby Lyons – part-time driver across NASCAR’s top-three series — captured a video of a post-race altercation between a pair of individuals, which appears to include Gilliland and the driver of the No. 15, Drew Dollar.
