"Huge blessing": Todd Gilliland once opened up about his opportunity to compete with FRM

NASCAR Cup Series driver Todd Gilliland has a long history with racing as he comes from a family of professional racers. His father, David Gilliland, is a former NASCAR driver and owns a Craftsman Truck Series team—Tricon Garage.

Following his father's footsteps, the #34 driver ventured into the Cup Series in 2022 under the Front Row Motorsports banner and wrapped the season with one top-five and two top-ten finishes. He also competed for Rick Ware Racing in the 2023 season, finishing in 28th place.

In May 2024, Todd Gilliland was featured in an interview with NASCAR analyst Bob Pockrass where he opened up about the opportunity to compete with FRM. He said:

"From my side of it, I need to be reminded of that, for sure. It's definitely a huge blessing and a huge opportunity to be able to continue racing in this series. And I definitely know that you can't take it for granted. I forget last year; it was piecing together a full season. Just to see how things changed, see how much results can sway things, good or bad, very quickly in the sport, shows that we need to continue improving and stay on top of our game. I'm super thankful, super excited to continue with Front Row."

Gilliland wrapped his 2024 season in 22nd place, making it his career-best finish so far. Additionally, he also had a solid run in the Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium, finishing 14th after qualifying in P20.
