Todd Gilliland Notes
NASCAR’s back as Todd Gilliland and the No. 34 team head to Winston-Salem, North Carolina for the Clash at Bowman Gray. Gilliland will partner with Dairi-O and Jerry Hunt Supercenter for the 200-lap exhibition race.
Founded in 1947, the North Carolina–based restaurant has built deep roots in its home state while growing into a trusted family destination for quick, high-quality meals without sacrificing its values. The restaurant balances classic drive-in favorites with modern menu options, creating an experience that appeals to multiple generations of guests. With a strong emphasis on hospitality culture and employee development, the company is equally committed to giving back, maintaining long-standing support of local schools, nonprofits, and community initiatives throughout the region.
Jerry Hunt Supercenter, a leading pre-owned automotive dealership in North Carolina, will also partner with Gilliland and the No. 34 team. Jerry Hunt Supercenter’s racing legacy at Bowman Gray Stadium spans more than six decades. It began in the 1960s with Jerry Hunt, continued through Todd Hunt, and now carries forward with Chase Hunt. Across generations, the Hunt family has fielded racing teams and backed competitors in the trenches of short-track warfare, accumulating more than 25 Bowman Gray track championships along the way. That commitment to winning at the grassroots level remains strong today. From the early days of local racing to today’s national-stage spotlight, Jerry Hunt Supercenter continues to stand behind the drivers, teams, and traditions that make Bowman Gray Stadium one of the most respected proving grounds in American motorsports.
“We’re proud to partner with Jerry Hunt Supercenter in sponsoring Todd Gilliland and the No. 34 Front Row Motorsports team for The NASCAR Clash,” said Jeff Speaks, owner of Dairi-O. “With our shared North Carolina roots and commitment to community, this event is especially meaningful. Bowman Gray Stadium is close to where Dairi-O began, making this race feel like home. We look forward to supporting Todd Gilliland on the NASCAR Cup Series stage.”
“I think the whole team is excited for the season to start,” said Gilliland. “We made a few key changes that I think will really make a difference this season. The Clash really tests your patience. There’s not a lot of room to pass and a ton of beating and banging. Hopefully we can start the season off with a strong finish.”
