“I really enjoy being active in Todd’s and FRM’s development,” said Carl Ruedebusch, Owner, Ruedebusch Development and Construction. “Todd and the team have shown growth over the past two seasons, and we are all hopeful for an even better year. Our partners with our program are seeing gains, too, so it has been a win for everyone.”

“Mr. Ruedebusch, and his partners such as gener8tor, have been some of my biggest supporters since I joined the NASCAR Cup Series,” said Gilliland. “I enjoy seeing the familiar faces and they become a part of our team and our family. I can’t do this without them and I am thankful for all their support and friendship.”
