Todd Gilliland and his No. 38 Black's Tire & Auto Service Ford F-150 will return to the track next week at Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway in the NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series after a 13-week hiatus. Following a seventh-place finish in their last race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway back on February 21, Gilliland and his Front Row Motorsports (FRM) team hope to pick up where they left off and keep their momentum going.

Gilliland will have a new crew chief starting at Charlotte, Chris Lawson. He was previously the car chief on the team and was Gilliland's first stock car crew chief back in 2013. The pair won four K&N East races together in 2017 and Lawson was the first employee when David Gilliland started his own team.

Charlotte is a track where Gilliland has two previous starts (2018 and 2019). The 20-year-old driver started both races from third place and collected top-10 finishes in each (10th in 2018 and seventh in 2019). He led seven laps in last year's race and hopes to add to that on Tuesday night.
 
The No. 38 Black's Tire & Auto Service Ford F-150 will compete in the 134-lap N.C. Education Lottery 200 on Tuesday, May 26, at 8:00 p.m., ET. A live broadcast of the race will be shown on FS1. The race will be broken into three segments with stage-ending cautions on lap 30 and lap 60.
 
Quick Facts:
Number of Starts at Charlotte: 2
Best Start: 3rd
Best Finish: 7th
2020 Driver Point Standings: 9th
 
Gilliland on Charlotte: "I am so excited to get back to racing next week. I've done a lot of iRacing during the down time. It was fun, but nothing compares to the real thing. I had the chance to run a Late Model race at Greenville-Pickens Speedway in South Carolina last weekend, so that gave me a chance to knock the rust off and get back in the seat. I won the pole and finished third, so it was a fun night and it felt great to be back at the track. I'm looking forward to working with Chris (Lawson) and continuing the momentum we had going earlier this year. I'm also happy to have Black's Tire & Auto Service on our truck again at Charlotte. They were going to bring a large group of people to the track, but obviously that couldn't happen, so I hope to put on a great race for them watching on television."

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (March 23, 2020) - Front Row Motorsports (FRM) announced today that Speedco, a member of the Love's Family of Companies, will partner with Todd Gilliland for Tuesday night's, The Replacements 100.  The race will be streamed live on www.TWITCH.TV/IRACING and be run from the virtual Kansas Speedway using NASCAR Cup Series-style cars.

Majors were two of the first in the sport to create an iRacing solution.  I then quickly went to work to get my simulator ready.

"Their organization is full of exceptional people, and we had a great experience working with them and introducing them to NASCAR last season with David (Ragan). I'm so thankful for everything that they've done to help our school and for coming back on board to support Todd and our whole organization as we venture into the Truck Series this season."
 
Mannington Commercial returns to FRM after sponsoring the No. 38 of David Ragan in two NASCAR Cup Series races at the end of the 2019 season. 
 
"I'm really looking forward to having Mannington Commercial on my F-150 this weekend in Atlanta," said Gilliland. "My team was telling me earlier today how they helped put custom flooring in a high school last year, and a lot of other really cool things. It's awesome to see how many great people we have in this sport, and I'm excited to have them at the track and be part of welcoming them back to Front Row Motorsports and to the Truck Series. The guys have worked hard on the speedway truck the past few weeks. We will have a lot of speed in Atlanta, and a cool Mannington paint scheme to go with it."

Carrying on the family tradition, Todd Gilliland will drive the same Black’s Tire paint scheme that his father David competed in throughout his career
 
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (Feb. 5, 2020) – Front Row Motorsports announced today that Black’s Tire and Auto Service / BTS Tire & Wheel Distributors will partner with Todd Gilliland for four races throughout the NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series this season. The distinctive paint scheme will make its debut on the No. 38 Ford F-150 in the season opener at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway.
 
Black’s Tire has a long-standing history in NASCAR, and more specifically, with the Gilliland family. Aside from carrying on his family’s lucrative history of driving the No. 38 this season, Gilliland will proudly become a second-generation driver to carry the Black’s Tire colors. The Ricky Benton-owned company has sponsored Gilliland’s father, David, in numerous races throughout his career in both the NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series and the NASCAR Cup Series. The elder Gilliland drove the Black’s Tire Ford in his most recent NASCAR Cup Series start in the 2018 Daytona 500, where he went on to collect a 14th-place finish. The paint scheme on the younger Gilliland’s F-150 will resemble the one that his father drove. He will also be donning a firesuit that mirrors what his father wore during his years representing Black’s Tire.
 
“It means a lot to me that Black’s Tire is coming onboard in 2020,” said Todd Gilliland. “It’s really cool to see Ricky Benton’s passion for racing. I’ve spent a lot of time around him and everyone at Black’s Tire when my dad was racing for them, and they are all great people. It’s special that they believe in me and want me to carry on the legacy of representing Black’s Tire. I’m looking forward to having multiple opportunities to get them to victory lane this season.”
 
In addition to Black’s Tire and Auto Service / BTS Tire & Wheel Distributors, Gilliland will also have southeastern North Carolina restoration company Highland Construction riding on the sides of his Ford F-150.
 
The third-generation racer will be taking on his third season in the NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series as he transitions to the Ford Performance family with Front Row Motorsports. In 48 starts, he has one win, 12 top-five and 26 top-10 finishes. In his earlier years, Gilliland spent time developing in NASCAR’s regional series, where he became a two-time ARCA Menards Series West Champion and collected 20 wins in 53 combined ARCA Menards Series East and West starts. The 19-year-old driver also has two ARCA Menards Series wins under his belt, with his most recent occurring last fall at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway.
 
“David (Gilliland) has proudly represented Black’s Tire and our race team in the past and we are thrilled to bring Todd into the family,” said Black’s Tire and Auto Service owner Ricky Benton. “With a driver with his pedigree and the race-winning experience of FRM, I look forward to joining the team in victory lane this year.”
 
Gilliland and the No. 38 Front Row Motorsports team will kick-off the 23-race NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series season on at 7:30 p.m. ET on Feb. 14 at the famed Daytona International Speedway. Live coverage of the event will be broadcast on FS1.
