Todd Gilliland Notes
In NASCAR’s first trip to the “Madhouse” since 1971, Gilliland will make his debut in the No. 34 Ford Mustang Dark Horse. Long John Silver’s will partner with Gilliland and bring last year’s fan-favorite blue and yellow “Fish Yeah” scheme to the 200-lap event.
Gilliland will team up with his former NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series (NCTS) crew chief, Chris Lawson, for the 2025 season. Lawson led Gilliland to his first win in the Front Row Motorsports No. 38 Ford F-150 at the Circuit of The Americas in 2021. Additionally, the duo earned back-to-back K&N Pro Series West Championships in 2016 and 2017.
“Bowman Gray is definitely going to be a challenge,” said Gilliland. “It’s going to be tight, with a lot of beating and banging, but I’m up for it. I’m excited to be back with Chris (Lawson), and he’s brought a lot of great talent with him to form a new team. I think it’s going to be a good weekend for us.”
