Todd Gilliland Extends Contract with Front Row Motorsports Through 2027

The veteran driver secures a multi‑year deal as the team eyes continued success and a $1 million In‑Season Challenge prize

Todd Gilliland has agreed to remain with Front Row Motorsports through the 2027 NASCAR Cup Series season, locking in the veteran behind the wheel of the No. 34 Ford Mustang. The extension underscores the team’s confidence in Gilliland’s ability to contribute to its competitive trajectory.

Since his debut with the organization in 2022, Gilliland has amassed two top‑five finishes and 16 top‑ten finishes, positioning him three points behind teammate Zane Smith in the championship standings. His recent surge earned him a spot in the semi‑finals of the In‑Season Challenge, where a $1 million prize awaits the victor.

A Milestone for the No. 34

The next race at North Wilkesboro will see Gilliland square off against former champion Chase Elliott, adding a compelling narrative twist as the driver looks to extend his momentum against a marquee opponent.

Gilliland’s journey with Front Row began in the 2020 Craftsman Truck Series, a partnership that produced the team’s first Cup‑level victory at COTA in 2021 and later successes at Pocono, Daytona and the Indianapolis Road Course.

The organization also celebrates a broader legacy, highlighted by a four‑win Cup record that includes a historic 1‑2 finish at Talladega and a 2021 Daytona 500 triumph with Michael McDowell. Teammate Zane Smith recently signed a multi‑year extension, while Noah Gragson’s future remains uncertain.
