Todd Gilliland Notes
Todd Gilliland and the No. 34 team return to the Daytona International Speedway, facing a must-win situation in order to make the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs. In last year’s event at the 2.5-mile superspeedway, Gilliland started second next to pole sitter and teammate, Michael McDowell. On superspeedways, Gilliland has proven that he has what it takes to be a trusted drafting partner with impressive performances at Daytona, Atlanta, and Talladega.
Grillo’s Pickles will partner with Gilliland and the No. 34 team for the 160-lap event in the iconic pickle company’s third race of the season. Grillo’s Pickles will hit the high banks of the Daytona International Speedway with a twist on their classic scheme, adding “Speed Pickles” hidden across Gilliland’s Ford Mustang Dark Horse. Fans can shop for all Grillo’s Pickles products and merch by going to www.Grillos.com.
While off the track this weekend, Gilliland will trade in his racecar for a fishing rod, partnering with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s TrophyCatch program. An avid fisherman, Gilliland invites anglers of all skill levels to join the citizen-science initiative, which rewards fishermen for documenting largemouth bass weighing eight pounds or more. Since its launch, TrophyCatch has logged thousands of trophy bass across the state, giving scientists valuable insight into Florida’s bass population while giving anglers the chance to win prizes, from top-tier fishing gear to a Phoenix Bass Boat. “TrophyCatch is all about celebrating the thrill of a big catch while protecting our fisheries for future generations,” said Gilliland. “It’s like racing—big skill, big passion, and all about the thrill.” Anglers can sign up for free at TrophyCatch.com, grab a fishing license, and submit photo or video evidence of their catches for even more chances to win.
“We’re proud to partner with NASCAR and bring Florida’s conservation story to one of the largest audiences in American sports,” said Roger Young, Executive Director, FWC. “This collaboration is an exciting opportunity to connect with outdoor enthusiasts and highlight the importance of protecting our state’s world-class fisheries and wildlife.”
“Our season hasn’t gone the way we hoped,” said Gilliland. “We know what’s at stake, and I believe this team has everything it takes to win—it’s just about executing from start to finish and making the most of our potential. I always feel confident going into the superspeedways; we just need to run a clean race and be in position at the end.”
