Todd Gilliland, No. 54 Frontline Enterprises Ford Fusion
Todd Gilliland will pull double duty this weekend in Phoenix racing his No. 38 Frontline Enterprises Ford F-150 Friday night in the NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series season finale, and then he’ll hit the track again Saturday for his first ARCA Menards Series West race of the season. He will drive the No. 54 Frontline Enterprises Ford Fusion in the 100-lap ARCA West event.
Gilliland won at Phoenix in his very first start there in 2015 in the former K&N West Series (now ARCA West). This will be his first West race since 2017 when he won the series championship, which he won in 2016 as well. In 29 K&N West starts, Gilliland has 13 wins, 23 top-five, 27 top-10 finishes, 13 poles and two championships.
Chris Lawson will be Gilliland’s crew chief for Saturday’s ARCA West race. He is also Gilliland’s crew chief for Front Row Motorsports in the NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series. Lawson and Gilliland had four K&N East wins together in 2017 and 12 K&N West victories from 2016-2017.
The Arizona Lottery 100 will stream live on Trackpass on NBC Gold at 2pm ET on Saturday. The race will be 100 laps (100 miles) with a race break at lap 50.
Todd Gilliland on Phoenix: “The last time I was there in one of these cars I won. It was my first ever K&N race and now to be going back in the ARCA West series is super cool. I’ll have the same number and sponsor I won with in 2015 so we’re hoping to repeat the results. This will be a fun race because at the end of the year after racing for points all season in the Truck Series with all the pressure, we can run this race and just go for the win.”
TIL NEXT TIME, I AM STILL WORKING ON MY REDNECK!
