Todd Gilliland Key Takeaways

Stage One: 21st / Stage Two: 22nd / Race Result: 22nd

“I’ve grown a lot as a driver this season,” said Gilliland. “I started the year with an almost completely new team, and the bond we built week in and week out pushed all of us to be better. The points finish wasn’t what we hoped for, but I know we’ll come out swinging in 2026.”

Noah Gragson Key Takeaways

Stage One: 15th / Stage Two: 13th / Race Result: 27th

“It wasn’t the season we were hoping for, but I’m proud of how this team kept fighting every week,” said Gragson. “We brought fast cars to the track, even if the results didn’t show it. I’m looking forward to the off-season to reset and come back stronger for 2026.”

Zane Smith Key Takeaways

Stage One: 17th / Stage Two: 16th / Race Result: 29th

“I don’t think our final points standing shows the potential this team has and the speed we were showing up to the track with most weeks,” said Smith. “A lot of high points this season but a lot of bad luck and tough breaks that would take away from those. I’m excited to have everything already in place for 2026 so we can build on this season and take a big step forward.”
