Todd Gilliland Notes

Todd Gilliland and the No. 34 team now turn their attention to Charlotte Motor Speedway for the longest race of the season — the Coca-Cola 600. This 400-lap, 600-mile event is one of NASCAR’s crown-jewel races and pays tribute to U.S. service members by featuring the names of fallen heroes on each team’s car. This year, Gilliland will have the name of Captain Robert Michael Secher riding on the windshield of his Overplay Ford Mustang Dark Horse.

Overplay— the world’s first user-generated gaming platform where anyone can make games from videos—will team up with FRM and Gilliland at the speedway. Founded by seasoned interactive media executives Dan Projansky and Caroline Strzalka, Overplay aims to democratize game development and make it accessible to everyone. By downloading the Overplay app users can gamify their lives instantly! The platform already has hundreds of thousands of downloads and millions of games played. Overplay was also featured in Season 15 of Shark Tank where the company struck a deal with billionaire investor Mark Cuban.

Born on May 20, 1973, in Germantown, Tennessee, Capt. Robert M. Secher loved being a soldier. He attended the Marion Military Institute and then graduated from the University of Memphis with a degree in political science. Secher was commissioned as an artillery officer and, in 2006, he volunteered to go to Iraq. He was part of an elite team of 11 officers who were embedded and training with the Iraqi Army. On October 8, 2006, in Al Anbar, Iraq Captain Secher was KIA while leading a patrol. He was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star with Combat V for valor for actions during his deployment.

Camp Hanson’s Secher Hall in Okinawa, Japan is named in Secher’s memory. The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania has created the Captain Robert M. Secher Scholarship to honor Secher for his contributions to Wharton, including spearheading the Quantico Leadership Venture, which builds upon U.S. Marine Corps facilities to develop leadership at its Officer Candidate School in Quantico, Va. Secher is remembered with love and deep respect by all who knew him.

“The 600 weekend is always a big one for the industry—it’s NASCAR’s version of a home game, so I’ll have a lot of family attending,” said Gilliland. “It’s an honor to carry Captain Robert Michael Secher’s name on my race car this weekend. I’ve really enjoyed learning about him and his story. He made the ultimate sacrifice so I could have the freedom to race on Sundays.”
