In a remarkable display at the Ambetter Health 400, Todd Gilliland has set a new personal record by leading 49 laps, surpassing his previous total of 27 laps led in his NASCAR Cup Series career. This event marks a significant achievement for both Gilliland and Front Row Motorsports (Team FRM), with Gilliland and teammate Michael McDowell showcasing the team's competitive edge. McDowell, the polesitter, also led 20 laps, contributing to the first instance of multiple Team FRM entries leading double-digit laps in a single NASCAR Cup Series event. This performance underscores a strong start to the season for Team FRM, with McDowell having not qualified worse than second in any race thus far. Notably, Gilliland had led 17 laps at the Daytona 500 the previous week, setting what was then his career high for a single race.
