He came into COTA with a 23-point lead over teammate Troy Herfoss and a 54-point gap on Harley-Davidson x Dynojet rider Smith.
Setting New Benchmarks
Grabbing two championships, especially making history across two manufacturers, is a massive statement. Gillim isn’t just winning; he’s setting new benchmarks for versatility and dominance in the King of the Baggers series.
