Todd Gilliland Wins

Todd Gilliland is a NASCAR Cup Series driver, racing the No. 38 Ford Mustang Dark Horse for Front Row Motorsports. Described by his teammate Michael McDowell as young, talented, promising, and hardworking in an interview with Beyond the Flag, he is an up-and-coming driver recently promoted in 2022 to drive full-time in the Cup Series.

Todd’s passion for motorsports, especially NASCAR, stems from his father David Gilliland, as he was a NASCAR driver himself and currently owns Tricon garage, which primarily competes in the Truck series.

Gilliland started driving when he was just a three-year-old toddler when his parents bought him a Barbie Corvette, which was painted black. Later, he started driving quarter midgets on neighborhood dirt tracks, and after two years, he began racing competitively.

Todd’s quarter midget career was filled with a lot of accolades as he won championships in the USAC World Formula National Quarter Midget Championship on the West Coast and the North Carolina Quarter Midget Association. Overall, he scored 34 wins throughout his quarter midget racing career. Todd Gilliland is yet to win a race in the NASCAR Cup Series as of September 2024.

ARCA Menards Series championships and wins

Gilliland garnered the spotlight and attention when he won the 2015 Menards 200 presented by Federated Car Care at Toledo on his debut, becoming the youngest ARCA Menards race winner at the age of 15.

Following this success a year later, Todd won the 2016 ARCA Menards Series West championship (also known as NASCAR K&N Pro Series West) and repeated this feat again in 2017. He won a total of 13 races throughout his ARCA Menards Series West championship career.

Todd almost could have continued this success in the 2017 ARCA Menards Series East Championships (also known as NASCAR K&N Pro Series East) but missed out on the championship by eight points to Harrison Burton. Regardless of the missed championship, he won a total of four races in that season and overall seven races throughout his career in ARCA Menards Series East Championships.

NASCAR Truck Series Full-Time

Todd Gilliland started driving full-time in thr Truck Series in 2019 driving the no.8 Toyota Tundra for Kyle Busch Motorsports. Gilliland's first career win in the Truck Series came in the 2019 NASCAR Hall of Fame 200 at Martinsville Speedway.

The 2021 season of the Truck Series was Todd’s proving ground, as he was consistent in points scoring and won his second race at Circuit of the Americas. This performance paved his way into the top tier of NASCAR, the Cup Series. Gilliland has managed to claim 10 Top-10s at the top level of NASCAR racing as of September 26, 2024.
