NASCAR's version of musical chairs continued Friday, when Wood Brothers Racing named David Gilliland to replace ailing Bill Elliott in the #21 Ford for Sunday's Pep Boys 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Boris Said may have more under his hood than he showed in Friday's qualifying session, and he'll have some extra help on pit road, thanks to an assist from the Wood Brothers.
Earlier this week, a list of favourites for the Daytona 500 pole probably wouldn't have included Bill Elliott, but that perception changed dramatically during Saturday's two NASCAR Sprint Cup practice sessions.
