Jenna Petty, Harrison Burton's fiancée, shared her thoughts on Front Row Motorsports' Valentine reel featuring Todd Gilliland and his wife Marissa. Petty playfully teased the couple and said they deserved an Emmy nomination.

Born in March 2002, Jenna Petty is a competitive dancer from North Carolina who got engaged to Burton last year. Although her last name is Petty, she is not related to seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Richard Petty.

In an Instagram post by Front Row Motorsports, Petty made her feelings known about Marissa and Todd Gilliland's short film for Valentine's with Grillo's Pickles.

"Emmy nomination in the bag," Petty wrote.

"When in doubt, pickles. @toddgilliland [Todd Gilliland] races to save Valentine’s Day for @marissagilliland [Marissa Gilliland]," the team wrote.

Grillo's Pickle is one of the sponsors for Todd Gilliland. The brand will primarily sponsor the No. 34 Ford Mustang in three races this year, including Pocono Raceway, New Hampshire Motor Speedway, and Chicago Street Race.

Gilliland will run with Love's Travel Stops as the title sponsor in most of the races on the 2025 calendar. He will compete alongside new teammates Noah Gragson and Zane Smith following Michael McDowell's departure.

As for Jenna Petty's fiancé, Harrison Burton will drive the No. 25 Ford for AM Racing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. He replaces Hailee Deegan, who is bound for open-wheel racing in the Indy NXT Series.
