Battling a friend for a ride not exactly part of the Cup Series dream for young drivers.
In this season’s first 14 Cup races, Smith has competed in four Cup races for Front Row with his best finish being 10th in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Gilliland has produced three top-10 finishes for Front Row with eighth in the Bristol Dirt race being his best performance this season.
“That’s the worst thing about our job is we all live the same life and we kind of all hang out with each other,” says the 23-year-old Smith, who describes Gilliland as a “great friend.” The dilemma in which Smith and Gilliland, 23, find themselves is the reason the competitors who laid the sport’s foundation never became close friends with one another. It was a situation they never wanted to concern themselves with if they were vying for a ride or racing for a victory.
