Warthog Air Compressor Store has teamed up with Chicago Pneumatic And Quincy Compressors to support Front Row Motorsports in the upcoming Coca-Cola 600. Warthog has been given the exciting opportunity to help Todd Gilliland and the No. 38 team at the Charlotte Motor Speedway this Memorial Day Weekend. The race kicks off at 6 p.m. on Sunday, May 26, 2024.
This 65th running of NASCAR’s toughest test of man and machine, the Coca-Cola 600, is the perfect opportunity for Warthog to make its NASCAR debut. What better opportunity than the toughest test of man and machine to showcase the store with the toughest brands?
Gilliland is returning for his third season in the NASCAR Cup Series and looking to add more top-ten finishes this year. With a consistent, solid start to the 2024 season, he is racing like he has something to prove. Both Gilliand and Warthog are young and eager to establish themselves in the industry.
See below the “backup car” design for the No. 38 Ford at Charlotte Motor Speedway on May 26, 2024.
Each race weekend NASCAR allows teams to bring one backup car to the track in case something happens to the primary car during a practice session or qualifying run the day(s) prior to race day. And the backup car is then used on race day.
NASCAR allows Front Row Motorsports to bring only one backup car to track, shared between its two Cup teams. It’s wrapped all-white with no decals / branding on it, so they can apply those elements depending on which team (#34 or #38) scheme is needed.
Front Row Motorsports has a very limited amount of time to get the backup car race ready. Such as: swap in race-specific parts, prep the engine, check for leaks, go through tech inspections, and apply the exterior vinyl / decals.
Front Row Motorsports (FRM) will host its annual Fan Day on Thursday, the 23rd. FRM will be hosting Fan Day for the Coca-Cola 600 at its Race Shop in Mooresville, North Carolina. Doors will be open from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Todd Gilliland, driver of the #38 car, Daytona 500 winner Michael McDowell, and accomplished late model driver Layne Riggs will sign autographs at the shop from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. If you want an autograph, make sure to stop by during that window.
The toughest test of man and machine will be kicked off before the race begins. With limited supplies of our Todd Gilliland x Warthog shirts and hero cards to commemorate, stop by to ensure you get your hands on one (or both). And if you cannot make it but still want a shirt, we are giving away a few in our emails!

“We are thrilled to be able to support Gilliand and the Front Row Motorsports team this Memorial Day Weekend,” said Jervey Inglesby, President of Warthog Air Compressor Store. “The Coca-Cola 600 ties in perfectly with our core values, and there seemed to be no better NASCAR debut than Memorial Day weekend. Just as the A-10 Warthog provides close air support to ground troops, we aim to do the same with our customers in their shops across the country.”
The Warthog Team is committed to providing Unbeatable Support while offering the Toughest Brands. With everything you need for your compressed air system, from Compressors to Parts, we have the equipment you need. Whether you need a brand-new system or a replacement component for your business or personal shop, Warthog has the equipment you need from Quincy and Chicago Pneumatic.
We are beyond excited and grateful to announce our sponsorship of Todd Gilliand and the #38 car for Front Row Motorsports in the Coca-Cola 600. Gilliand has led the second-most laps for Ford this season, and we are confident he will continue to improve. Ford took home the trophy last year, and this year, we are optimistically looking forward to a repeat, just with the No. 38 car instead.
If you want to see what we are all about or just want to say hello, stop by on the afternoon of Thursday, May 23rd. Charlotte Motor Speedway, located in Carrabus County, NC, has been our bucket list destination for quite some time, and being able to attend and sponsor a car is a dream come true for our team. With an opportunity to go “Where Racing Lives,” we would be Silly not to jump at the chance.
Three-Time NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Winner
Martinsville (Va.) Speedway in 2019
Inaugural winner at Circuit of the Americas in 2021
Knoxville (Iowa) Speedway in 2022
In 2022, finished his rookie season in the NASCAR Cup Series with one top-five and two top-10 finishes.
In 2023, doubled his top-10 finishes in his sophomore season to four.
Todd Gilliland is returning to the no. 38 Front Row Motorsports Ford Mustang Dark Horse for the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series. He jumped to the Cup Series from the Truck Series in 2022 and scored his first top-five finish at Indianapolis. Gilliland earned this opportunity through his repeated success in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, where he also drove the no. 38.
As the son of former NASCAR Cup Series competitor David Gilliland, Todd’s DNA is racing, and he has the track record to prove it. Gilliand has led the second-most laps for Ford this season, and we are confident he will continue to improve. Ford took home the trophy last year, and this year, we are optimistically looking forward to a repeat, just with the No. 38 car instead.
He previously drove for Kyle Busch Motorsports, where he scored his first series win in 2019 at Martinsville. He added a third, driving for his father, in June 2022 at Knoxville Raceway. Gilliland is a two-time K&N Pro Series West champion, winning back-to-back titles in 2016-2017. Running the full-time season in both the ARCA Menards Series West and ARCA Menards Series East in 2017, Gilliland earned six West victories and four East victories.
Todd has been a consistent racer for FRM during his first two seasons, and this year is looking no different. With intense races and consistent placement this season, such as his top-10 finish at Talladega Superspeedway, we are proud to be able to support Todd Gilliland and the no. 38. We have high hopes for Todd and the team this Memorial Day Weekend.
