No. 3 – David Gilliland

At 39 years old Gilliland’s prime years are ahead of him as a veteran driver, he is a very consistent racer in his own right. Since landing his ride with Front Row Motorsports, he has been a Cinderella story at every restrictor plate race, unfortunately he declined in 2015 and only managed the highest finish of his season at 11^th in the season opening Daytona 500. He tumbled down the standings to a dismal 32^nd and a poor 29.4 average finish for the season. There is a bright spot for Front Row Motorsports, the addition of the 2015 NASCAR Xfinity champion in the #34 car and an enhanced technical alliance with Roush Fenway Racing along with full engineering and pit support should prove to be beneficial for Gilliland and his team this upcoming season.
