Top Ford Organization Front Row Motorsports Nabs Noah Gragson for Cup Series Ride
MOORESVILLE, N.C. – Front Row Motorsports now knows two of their drivers for 2025. The tier one Ford team has hired Noah Gragson to join as they grow to a third full-time Cup Series team next year. Gragson has inked a multiyear contract with the four-time race winning team.
The driver from Las Vegas, Nevada built up his NASCAR stock with a pair of Craftsman Truck Series wins and 13 Xfinity Series victories. Gragson was the Xfinity championship runner-up in 2022, after earning a series-best eight wins that year.
Gragson, 25, is currently amidst his second Cup Series season, with 59 starts already under his belt. So far, Gragson has tallied two top-fives and seven top-10s. Most of these strong results have come in 2024 with Stewart-Haas Racing and Ford Performance.
“I think a lot of people have seen the growth of Front Row Motorsports over the past several seasons in the NASCAR Cup Series,” said Gragson. “This team, with Ford Performance, has shown it is capable of winning and wants to win more. Meeting Bob (Jenkins) and Jerry (Freeze), there is a determination and plan to continue to grow and compete against the absolute best. There is a strong commitment on their part, and I am ready to give it my best next season.”
“Until that time, I want to say that I’m staying focused on the task at hand at Stewart-Haas Racing to finish the season with intentions of racing for wins with them.”
FRM believes Gragson’s recent string of promising results are just the tip of the iceberg.
“We feel that this is a great opportunity and the perfect time to bring Noah to our organization,” said Bob Jenkins, Owner, Front Row Motorsports. “He has just the right amount of experience in the NASCAR Cup Series to breakout and become a winner for years to come. This season, Noah has started to get the finishes, and race consistently up front, which was expected from him.
“Joining our team, staying with Ford Performance, and welcoming him to our partners, we are only going to accelerate his opportunity to win races and compete in the playoffs. This is the driver that we want to help get us more wins.”
FRM will announce Gragson’s car number, crew chief, and partners at a later date.
Gragson joins Todd Gilliland in the FRM NASCAR Cup Series stable for 2025. FRM has yet to unveil their third Cup Series driver for the coming season.
