NASCAR insider predicts Noah Gragson NASCAR landing spot will be Front Row Motorsports

Noah Gragson has been turning heads since his arrival at Stewart-Haas Racing, but his NASCAR Cup Series future has come into question over the last month and change.

It’s through no fault of his own, as SHR is closing their doors after the 2024 campaign, but Gragson has been left searching for a ride for 2025, even though he’s impressed during his time in the No. 10 Ford. Now, FOX’s Bob Pockrass is predicting Gragson will be announcing his next venture later this week.

According to Pockrass’ prediction, Gragson will be the wheelman announced as the driver of one of Front Row Motorsports’ charters for 2025 on Wednesday. It seems like a perfect fit for both parties, and while nothing has been made official yet, Pockrass believes it’s simply a matter of time.

“Front Row will make a 2025 driver announcement at 1p ET Wednesday. It will livestream on its team YouTube channel … Noah Gragson said last week that he expected to have an announcement soon on his 2025 Cup ride. (I would expect it is this),” Pockrass posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. “… Front Row will announce one driver tomorrow as teammate to Todd Gilliland. So will still have one opening.”

As Pockrass noted, 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. Still, there’s a ton of interesting options who could join Gilliland and Gragson next season.

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.
