Todd Gilliland and his wife Marissa received a "special delivery" from his 2025 sponsor, Grillo's Pickles. The couple received a set of different pickles along with a special bag that Marissa shared on her Instagram Story.
Grillo's Pickles will sponsor the #34 Ford during the 2025 Cup Series season. They recently also revealed the special livery that he will use during the season. Marissa Gilliland took the couple to Instagram to reveal the special delivery that the sponsor had given them ahead of the season.
"@toddgilliland_ and I got a special delivery today! Thank you, @grillospickles," she wrote in her story.
Todd Gilliland and Marissa have been together for quite a few years now but not a lot is known about the couple. They got engaged in December 2021 after Todd proposed to her, and were married in January of 2023, two years ago.
Gilliland made his Cup Series debut with Front Row Motorsports in the 2022 season and has stayed with them since. However, there were a few races in 2023 when the team wanted to put Zane Smith in his car on the field, so Gilliland had to step back in those races. However, he was able to maintain participation throughout the season by racing in those events with Rick Ware Racing.
Todd Gilliland on his partnership with Grillo's: "I think everyone loves Grillo’s Pickles"
Late in December of 2024, Grillo's announced the extension of their partnership with Todd Gilliland owing to the massive popularity the "pickle car" had gained. The green-and-white paint scheme will return to the Cup Series for three races in the 2025 season. It will be featured at Pocono Raceway, New Hampshire Motor Speedway, and Chicago Street Race.
"We are excited to extend our partnership with Todd and Marissa Gilliland and Front Row Motorsports," Adam Kaufman, President and CEO of Grillo’s Pickles said. "Todd and the Front Row Team have been amazing partners to encourage Grillo’s Pickles and NASCAR fans to Chill Out and Eat a Pickle. We can’t wait to go bigger and better with this program next year with a great slate of races."
Reviewing his partnership with Grillo's Pickles, Todd Gilliland spoke positively of them. He claimed that everyone loves the brand and that their special livery has its own place on the NASCAR grid.
"I think everyone loves Grillo’s Pickles," Gilliland said. "They debuted such an awesome scheme at New Hampshire and fell in love with the program. The Pickle Car has really taken a life of its own and I can see it becoming one of NASCAR’s most popular schemes. I really want to thank Grillo’s Pickles for becoming a bigger partner of our program in 2024 and now for 2025. Things are getting better and better with our team and the partners make it all possible."
Front Row Motorsports is set to witness a major change as they purchased a third charter from Stewart-Haas Racing. Zane Smith was signed to drive that third car for the team, alongside Todd Gilliland and Noah Gragson.
