Todd Gilliland Notes
Following last Saturday’s race at the EchoPark Speedway, Todd Gilliland will head to Chicago, Illinois where he will have to navigate the turns of the Chicago Street Course. In two previous starts at the 2.2-mile street circuit, Gilliland has one top-10 finish, finishing seventh in 2024.
Grillo’s Pickles will partner with Gilliland for the 75-lap event, debuting a new “Hot Pickle” scheme on the No. 34 Ford Mustang Dark Horse. “It’s been hard keeping this scheme a secret,” said Gilliland. “It’s been a work in progress all season, so I’m excited to show it off in Chicago and hopefully drive it up front.”
Grillo’s Pickles will host their “Grillo’s Pickles 500” pop-up event at the Vault Gallerie in Chicago from July 3–6, open daily from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM CDT. The first 100 fans on July 3rd will receive a Grillo’s Pickles hero card signed by Todd Gilliland. On July 4, fans can enjoy a free Chicago-style hot dog until 12:00 PM or while supplies last. On July 5, the event will feature a live art show from 1:00 to 4:00 PM, followed by an appearance from Front Row Motorsports drivers, Gilliland, Noah Gragson and Zane Smith, from 5:00 to 6:00 PM.
“Chicago’s going to be a lot of fun,” said Gilliland. “It’s a tough track with very little margin for error, but that’s what makes it so exciting. We’ve got a big weekend with Grillo’s Pickles rolling out the ‘Hot Pickle’ scheme and their pop-up event, so I’m pumped to get there and be part of it all.”
