🇺🇸 Todd Gilliland

Todd Gilliland is an established professional driver competing full-time in NASCAR's top series. His Racer Rating of 5,725 places him among professional-level drivers; he holds FIA Silver categorisation in sportscar racing, denoting a professional with early-career or developmental standing in that discipline. Across nine seasons from 2018 to 2026, he has recorded 259 starts, three wins and ten podiums, the majority coming during his time in the NASCAR Truck Series, where he won three times in 86 starts between 2018 and 2022. His move to the NASCAR Cup Series in 2022 has yielded one podium finish in 173 starts, and his average finishing position across all classified races stands at P18.1.[1]

Gilliland operates in a field populated by championship-level drivers and multi-time winners. His most frequent rivals include Kyle Larson and Tyler Reddick, both established professionals with multiple national titles, Chase Briscoe, an elite-level driver, and Kyle Busch, a 2019 NASCAR Cup champion rated as an FIA Platinum professional. Against this calibre, Gilliland's record reflects a competitive middle-order driver; he has finished ahead of Larson 44 times across 169 shared races and ahead of Reddick 56 times in 169 races, while trailing both substantially overall. He has also beaten Ryan Blaney, a much stronger driver rated in the elite professional band, on 46 occasions across their common starts. His profile is of a full-time professional who secures occasional strong results against top-tier competition but lacks the consistency for regular victories at the Cup level.[2]

The 2026 NASCAR In-Season Challenge saw Gilliland advance to a final showdown with Blaney for a substantial prize, highlighting the competitive nature of his recent form despite his modest win total. The son of NASCAR driver David Gilliland, he drives the No. 34 Ford Mustang for Front Row Motorsports and remains active in full-time Cup competition.
