Love”™s Travel Stops expands sponsorship of Gilliland:

David Gilliland will return to Front Row Motorsports in 2015, and his #38 Ford will carry the colors of Love’s Travel Stops for an expanded 18 races. The extended partnership will once again anchor Love’s as Gilliland’s principal sponsor for the season and will return the familiar yellow, red and black scheme to the #38 Ford Fusion for half of the 2015 points races. The 2015 Sprint Cup season will mark Gilliland’s 10th year in NASCAR’s top series and sixth with the Statesville, N.C.-based race team. The 38-year-old driver earned Front Row’s first pole position in 2014, owns Front Row’s highest-ever points finish (26th in 2013) and has been a consistent threat for the team on superspeedways, road courses and short tracks. Gilliland and the Love’s Travel Stops Ford famously pushed teammate David Ragan to a Front Row 1-2 finish at Talladega Superspeedway in 2013 for the team’s first victory. Love’s Travel Stops enters its third year as a partner with the team, having progressively grown its commitment with each season. The 18-race program will include events such as the season-opening Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway, both races at Texas Motor Speedway, and road-course races at Sonoma Raceway and Watkins Glen International.(Front Row Motorsports), see an image of the car on the‚ #38 team paint schemes page.(1-13-2015)
