The #1 NASCAR content creator on YouTube, Eric Estepp hosts Out of the Groove, a daily talk show covering news and trending topics in the NASCAR fan community.

Todd Gilliland is having a breakout year, and now he’s stepping into the spotlight for one of NASCAR’s biggest events, the Coca-Cola 600. With a flashy new Overplay sponsorship and a string of solid performances, the young Front Row Motorsports driver shows he’s more than ready to lead the team after Michael McDowell’s departure.

  • How is Gilliland adjusting to being the de facto veteran on a young three-car team?
  • What’s behind his recent consistency at tough mile-and-a-half tracks?
  • Has the dust-up with SVG at North Wilkesboro changed how he races?
  • And what makes the Coke 600 more meaningful than most races on the schedule?

Todd dives deep into his growth, team dynamics, and what’s clicking in his fourth full-time season in Cup. He also opens up about the personal side of Memorial Day weekend, the weight of representing fallen heroes, and why the spectacle of Charlotte might even rival the Daytona 500. If you’re not paying attention to Todd Gilliland yet, now’s the time. His confidence is up, his finishes are improving, and his mindset has never been sharper. Watch the full interview to see what makes Todd tick heading into NASCAR’s longest night.
