Todd Gilliland Notes



  • The NASCAR Cup Series will end its "West Coast Swing" this Sunday in Sin City at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. After visiting two short tracks, two superspeedways, and a road course, Todd Gilliland and the No. 34 team will test their luck at the first 1.5-mile intermediate track of the 2025 season. Love's Travel Stops will join Gilliland for the 267-lap event.

 

  • After his 17th place finish at the Phoenix Raceway, Gilliland sits 17th in the Driver Championship points standings and is on a three-race streak of finishing within the top-20. Gilliland looks to continue that streak with a strong finish at the Las Vegas, Nevada track and to close the points gap on the top-16.

 

  • "I feel good about Vegas," said Gilliland. "Most of the Cup Series schedule is made up of these 1.5-mile intermediate tracks, so it is important that we run well and gather data this weekend to prepare for the rest of the season. Our mile-and-a-half program can use some fine tuning, but I am confident that Chris Lawson and the team will bring a Ford Mustang Dark Horse that will close that competitive gap and put us within the top-16 points position."
