Noah Gragson has secured a multi-year deal with Front Row Motorsports, becoming the third Stewart-Haas Racing driver to secure a seat for the 2025 season. This move comes as SHR is set to close three of its four Cup teams next year, with Gene Haas running a single car without Tony Stewart as his partner. Gragson, a Las Vegas native, will be driving for his sixth team in four seasons, having driven for three different teams in 2022 and 21 races last year for Legacy Motor Club before being suspended by NASCAR for liking an insensitive George Floyd meme on Instagram.
Despite the challenges, Gragson has shown promise with 13 wins and a second-place finish in the Xfinity Series championship race in 2022. With 59 starts in the Cup Series since 2022, he has achieved seven top-10 finishes and two top-fives. The signing by Front Row Motorsports keeps Gragson in a Ford for a second consecutive year, with team owner Bob Jenkins expressing confidence in Gragson's potential to become a race winner in the future.
Front Row Motorsports sees Gragson as a valuable addition to their team, emphasizing his experience in the NASCAR Cup Series and his recent strong performances. Gragson, on the other hand, is excited about the opportunity to join a team with a bright future and a strong commitment to winning. The team has recently acquired a third charter and has one more driver to hire, with details about Gragson's car number, sponsor, and crew chief yet to be revealed.
Looking ahead to the upcoming season, Gragson is determined to give his best and contribute to Front Row Motorsports' goal of competing at the highest level. With a focus on growth and competitiveness, both Gragson and the team are optimistic about their prospects for success in the NASCAR Cup Series.
