TIFTON, Ga. – NASCAR Cup Series rookie, Todd Gilliland, and his No. 38 Georgia Peanuts team head back to the Superspeedway racing Sunday, Oct. 2, 2022, at the Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway.
He has high hopes and the support from the Georgia Peanut Commission and their familiar branding, Georgia Peanuts. The race at Talladega will be the second time this season the Georgia Peanuts Ford Mustang will hit the track with Gilliland, with the first being at Atlanta Motor Speedway in the spring.
“It is great to be back in the Georgia Peanuts Ford this upcoming weekend at Talladega. I love racing in the Georgia Peanuts red and having the full support of peanut farmers across Georgia behind me. It is crazy to think that my first year in the NASCAR Cup Series is coming to an end,” Gilliland says. “We have been able to string together a few good runs in these last few races and I want to keep that momentum going at Talladega and give Georgia Peanuts a strong result.”
The Georgia Peanut Commission conducts programs in the areas of promotion, research and education. Funding is derived from a $2 per ton assessment on all producers. Peanuts are a $2 billion industry in Georgia and a vital part of the economy.
