“Talladega has been great to us at Front Row Motorsports. It’s always a crapshoot and anything can happen, and that’s why it’s so exciting for the fans. That’s why people love to watch that style of race because you know going in that anything can happen. We will have Farm Rich on our No. 38 for the first time. They’ve brought good luck to Front Row Motorsports in the past, so we’ll look for that again this weekend.
“Donnie (Wingo) came over to our team right before Daytona, so he didn’t have a whole lot of time to do everything he wanted to do with our speedway car. But now he’s had more time to massage on our speedway car, and I know he’s looking forward to Talladega.
“Talladega races like it’s twice as wide as Daytona. When you’re three-wide in Daytona, you’re hanging on. Your intensity level is picked up a bunch. Where at Talladega, you can run three-wide and be comfortable. It lends itself to be a little more racy throughout the entire race. I really enjoy it and look forward to it.”
JUST THE FACTS: Gilliland has 15 Sprint Cup starts at Talladega Superspeedway … He has one pole, and two top-five and four top-10 finishes at the 2.66-mile oval … His best finish at Talladega is second (2013) … Farm Rich makes its 2015 debut as primary sponsor of the No. 38 Ford.
