Todd Gilliland (born May 15, 2000) is an American driver. The son of NASCAR driver David Gilliland, he currently competes full-time in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West and East, driving the No. 16 Toyota Camry for Bill McAnally Racing. He also drives in the CARS Late Model Stock Tour and part-time in the Camping World Truck Series, driving the No. 51 Toyota Tundra for Kyle Busch Motorsports.
Gilliland first started driving when he was three years old; his parents purchased a pink (later repainted to black) Barbie corvette with modified pedals and an additional battery to increase its speed. Afterwards, he began driving a quarter midget on a neighborhood dirt track. Two years later, he started racing competitively, but stopped for two years at the decision of his father. In 2012, he won championships in the North Carolina Quarter Midget Association, USAC World Formula National Quarter Midget Championship and on the West Coast; he concluded his quarter midget career with 34 wins. The following year, he started limited late model racing, running three races. In 2014, he won his first limited late model race from the pole position at Ace Speedway. Later in the year, he won his first late model race at Southern National Motorsports Park.
On May 17, two days after his fifteenth birthday, Gilliland became the youngest driver to compete in the ARCA Racing Series when he made his debut at Toledo Speedway with Venturini Motorsports. After leading the race weekend's practice session and qualifying fifth, he held off Tom Hessert and Josh Williams to win, becoming the youngest winner in ARCA series history.
