Todd Gilliland makes his return to the great state of New Hampshire for the NASCAR Cup Series race at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

Gilliland will bring a new look to his Ford Mustang Dark Horse, partnering with Grillo’s Pickles. 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.

The No. 38 will feature Sam Sam the Pickle Man in a green and white “Pickle Car” livery. Sam Sam the Pickle man kicked off his campaign to become the “World’s Most Interesting Pickle” with Gilliland and Front Row Motorsports.

With his 12th place finish at the Iowa Speedway, Gilliland now has four Top-15 finishes in his last six races. He sits 20th in the Driver Championship points standings and is 97 points below the playoff cut line.

Practice and qualifying will take place Saturday, June 22nd at 12:30 p.m. ET. The USA Today 301 is schedule for Sunday, June 23rd at 2:30 p.m. ET. Fans can watch the action live on USA Network or listen in from the Performance Racing Network and SirIus XM channel 90.

No. 38 Grillo’s Pickles Ford Mustang Dark Horse:

DRIVER TODD GILLILAND:

“New Hampshire has been a good track to me. I actually have a win there in the K&N East Series and a third-place finish in the trucks. It’s a huge confidence booster knowing not only myself, but my crew chief and spotter have had success there. With how we have been running these last couple of races, I think we’re going to leave Sunday with a solid result.

“Grillo’s has been an amazing partner. They are all about NASCAR and engaging with myself, the team, and the fans. I really want to get Sam Sam the Pickle Man into Victory Lane.”

CREW CHIEF RYAN BERGENTY:

“I always enjoy going to New Hampshire, it’s my home track. Todd’s spotter, Brit (Andersen), and I have had success there in the Modifieds with Ryan Newman, so that along with Todd’s (Gilliland) history at the track, we have a lot of positivity heading into the weekend.”
