Front Row Motorsports is looking to take their operation to the next level in 2025, and they’ve added a major piece for their mission, officially announcing Noah Gragson as one of their wheelmen for next season’s campaign.

Over the course of the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season, Gragson been turning heads over at Stewart-Haas Racing, but his future has came into doubt over the last month and change, through no fault of his own. SHR is closing their doors at the end of the season, which left Gragson searching for a ride for 2025.

Now, due to his impressive driving during his time in the No. 10 Ford, Gragson has earned a new opportunity at FRM. It seems like a perfect fit for both parties, and a place where the young driver can continue to cultivate his skill.

Moreover, Gragson will join Todd Gilliland, giving FRM a solid base after Michael McDowell announced his departure from the organization following the 2024 campaign, as the veteran will join Spire Motorsports. There’s a ton of interesting options who still could join Gilliland and Gragson next season, as well.

Regardless, it’s fantastic news that Gragson will remain in the Cup Series moving forward. While he had a rough go of it with Legacy Motor Club in 2022, he’s been impressive since joining SHR, and he’s rebuilt his reputation in the process. It’d be a shame for that all to go to waste.

Some theorized Gragson could return to the Xfinity Series, due to his relationship with Dale Earnhardt Jr. and JR Motorsports. That would’ve been a solid fallback plan for Gragson, but he’s proving he can run in Cup week-in and week-out, so it might be below his talents, for now.

Moving forward, it’s evident Front Row Motorsports is looking to expand their operation and become a major player in 2025.

Todd Gilliland is showing what they can do already, with some awesome runs over the last couple of weeks, so the addition of Noah Gragson, and a third wheelman yet to be named, should only help their organization grow. The future is overly bright for the organization.
