Gilliland ended the 2025 season with 11 top-15 finishes with his best finish coming at the Fall Talladega race where the 25-year-old driver finished second. Gilliland’s best finish at the Daytona International Speedway also came last season in the track’s summer event where he finished 11th.

“There’s no better place to kick off the season than Daytona, and I can’t wait to get back on track,” said Gilliland. “Front Row’s superspeedway program has always been strong. We really found our stride toward the end of the 2025 season, especially with the second-place finish at Talladega, and I expect us to come out swinging and open the year with a solid result.”
