Gilliland’s Luck and Grit Pay Off | Nascar News

Todd Gilliland and Front Row Motorsports pulled off a wild, last-minute win at Indianapolis’ In-Season Challenge, snagging a cool $1 million payday despite finishing 24th — just two spots ahead of Ryan Blaney, who spun in a late crash and finished 26th. Starting from a brutal 36th, Gilliland clawed his way through tough competition, beating Spire and Hendrick drivers, and admitted they barely skated by in every round — but credit went to his hardworking crew. Blaney, who started 13th, looked poised to win until contact with John Hunter Nemechek derailed his charge. Gilliland called it a nerve-wracking, thrilling ride — and a well-earned reward.
