Todd Gilliland Notes
Todd Gilliland and the No. 34 team head to EchoPark Speedway aiming for a bounce-back performance after an early exit in the Daytona 500. The 1.5-mile drafting-style track is one of Gilliland’s better circuits, where he has earned four top-20 finishes in eight career starts and regularly qualifies near the front of the field.

“We showed a lot of promise at Daytona before the wreck,” said Gilliland. “There’s a lot of optimism heading into this weekend because Atlanta has always been a strong track for us, both in qualifying and in the race. We’re consistently competitive at these types of tracks, and hopefully this Sunday we can put ourselves in position to be there at the end.”
