Todd Gilliland is one of several Front Row Motorsports drivers hoping to put the 2025 NASCAR season behind them. Front Row Motorsports had a dramatic year with its antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR, but the two sides finally reached a settlement in December. Now, the driver of the No. 34 car can finally focus on racing again.
Gilliland expected to have more pace with the No. 34 team after Michael McDowell left for Spire Motorsports, but it didn’t come to fruition. The Front Row Motorsports driver excelled at EchoPark Speedway, but there was more speed left on the table throughout the 2025 NASCAR season.
Gilliland should improve during the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season, and consistent top 10 to 15 results shouldn’t be out of the picture. It will take a drastic development in speed to compete on the non-superspeedway tracks, but Gilliland is certainly capable of winning on a superspeedway track in 2026.
