NASCAR: Cassill joins Front Row for 2016

Landon Cassill has joined Front Row Motorsports and will drive the team's No.38 Ford for the upcoming Sprint Cup season.

The 26-year-old, who has 187 Cup starts, will run alongside rookie team-mate Chris Buescher. He replaces David Gilliland.

"I feel like Front Row Motorsports is a great fit for me," Cassill said. "I've got several years of experience in the series now, and being a part of this team will help me take the next step in my career. I'm grateful to [team owner] Bob Jenkins and Ford Motor Company for the opportunity and can't wait to get in the car."

Jenkins said that he is excited by Cassill's potential.

"We've always been impressed with Landon and what he can do behind the wheel," Jenkins said. "He's got a lot of natural talent. You could see that at every level of racing he's competed in throughout his career. We're happy to have that talent in one of our race cars this year."

Cassill's career-best finish is his fourth place at Talladega in 2014.
