Noah Gragson Notes
The NASCAR Cup Series heads to the city of San Diego, California, and Coronado Island for the much-anticipated, historic inaugural race at Naval Base Coronado. In front of Navy Sailors, their families and a packed-house of Southern California NASCAR fans, the sport will celebrate the 250th birthday of the Navy with 255 miles around a 16-turn street track, crafted from the roads and runways of the Naval Air Station North Island element of the active naval base. Noah Gragson and the No. 4 team have competed at two road course events this season, finishing 22nd at both Circuit of the Americas, in March, and Watkins Glen, in May. Gragson also competed in all three events at the street course in downtown Chicago, the most recent event on that type of circuit, with a best finish of 14th, occurring in 2024 while racing for Stewart-Haas Racing.

“This is such an incredible week for our sport,” said Gragson. “To be able to put on a race at an active military base, in front of so many heroes that protect our freedoms each and every day, is an unbelievable honor. I’ve been able to run laps on sim, and see videos of the layout, and it’s definitely going to be a challenging course but also a lot of fun. Each section of the track has its own unique character. There are some technical turns mixed in with some faster, sweeping turns, and then some areas where it will get crazy, especially on the initial start and on restarts. I was fortunate to get out there to see the base and chat with Sailors, helping promote the event with NASCAR, and I just know that the first laps on the track in our Rush Truck Centers Ford Mustang Dark Horse will be surreal with everything going on around us.”

Todd Gilliland Notes
Todd Gilliland and the No. 34 team return west for the inaugural San Diego Street Course. The 3.4-mile street course will be the first of its kind, taking place on Naval Base Coronado. Gilliland’s best street course finish in the NASCAR Cup Series occurred on the streets of Chicago during the Grant Park 165, where he started 26th and finished seventh in 2024. Gilliland picked up his first career stage win at Pocono Raceway last weekend, taking the top spot in the second stage of the event.
It will be the second of four primary races for the iconic pickle company, Grillo’s Pickles, as they team up with Gilliland and the No. 34 team for the historic event. Made with a 100-year old family recipe, Grillo’s Pickles started in the Boston Common, in 2008, selling pickles out of a Cutlass Supreme and then a Pickle Cart. Since then, Grillo’s has grown to national grocery distribution. Partnering with Front Row Motorsports in 2024, the Massachusetts-based company has become one of the most recognizable names in NASCAR, thanks to its fan-favorite green and white “Pickle Car”. Fans can shop for all Grillo’s Pickles products and merch by going to www.Grillos.com.
“I’m always up for a new challenge,” said Gilliland. “NASCAR is putting on such a cool event and, with Grillo’s on board the No. 34, I can’t wait to get on track to see how we unload. Front Row Motorsports has always been able to hold their own when it comes to road and street courses, so we have a lot of confidence heading into this weekend. We’ve been able to compete within the top-20 consistently the past couple of weeks, but I think we can step it up a bit and run within the top-15 or even top-10.”

Zane Smith Notes
Zane Smith brings an ample amount of experience heading into this weekend’s race in San Diego. Smith has made NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series starts across multiple road and street course layouts, including back-to-back NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series wins at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, in 2022 and 2023.
Hard Rock Casino Tejon will be the primary partner on the No. 38 Ford Mustang Dark Horse for Sunday’s event. Recently opened as a new entertainment destination in Mettler, California, Hard Rock Casino Tejon is the California home for gaming, entertainment, and dining, including the famous Hard Rock Cafe and the Rock Shop. Hard Rock Casino Tejon features a 150,000-square-foot casino with over 2,100 slot machines and over 60 table games. It is the home for entertainment and gaming for those in Southern California and the Central Valley.
The famous Hard Rock Cafe, with a location inside the Hard Rock Casino Tejon, will also be a major associate partner on the No. 38 Ford Mustang Dark Horse during the Anduril 250.
“It’s one thing to get what I can consider a ‘home race’ back on the schedule, but it just adds another layer when it’s something like this where we’ll be racing on an active military base for the first time,” said Smith. “I’ve been fortunate enough to go out there already to do some promotional stuff and I can’t wait to get out there again to see everything built up and ready to go. The cars this FRM No. 38 team has been bringing to the track have been rockets lately and we haven’t had the results to show for it, so this would be as good of a race as any to turn that around.”
