Front Row Motorsports announced<\/a> last Wednesday that Noah Gragson will join the team in 2025 as part of a multiyear deal.<\/p>\n

Gragson is making the jump to FRM after one season with Stewart-Haas Racing, which is closing its doors after the 2024 Cup Series season. Denny Hamlin was highly complimentary of the move on Monday\u2019s \u201cActions Detrimental<\/a>\u201d podcast, calling it beneficial for both parties. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think that that\u2019s a good opportunity for Noah,\u201d Hamlin said. \u201cI spoke with Noah while he was kind of on his job search and I\u2019m a fan of Noah and I think he\u2019s got the ability to go out there and do it. What I said to him after he told me was gonna sign with Front Row, I said, \u2018Listen, that\u2019s a place you have a chance to go win.\u2019 Bob Jenkins is obviously investing in our sport and he\u2019s gonna grow. Seems like he\u2019s putting a lot of chips on the table to try to get better as well. And so, I think is a good move for both.\u201d<\/p>\n

Front Row Motorsports makes major addition in Noah Gragson<\/h2>\n

Gragson, 26, is currently in his second full-time season in the Cup Series. He currently sits 24th in the points standings with six top 10s through 21 races. Though Gragson has hit a lull in recent months, FRM should provide him an opportunity to win races in the future. The team has seen Michael McDowell make the playoffs in the No. 34 car and with Todd Gilliland remaining with the team in 2025, FRM looks to have one of the best young duos in the sport. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s definitely exciting times,\u201d Gragson said. \u201cWhen we started out this year, I didn\u2019t know how I was going to run. I didn\u2019t know if I had the potential to run in the Cup Series just based off how the 2023 season went, and to be able to get my feet underneath me with the opportunity at Stewart-Haas, it definitely opened people\u2019s eyes. And with the challenges that have come about with Stewart-Haas, we were looking for a home for a long time, and that\u2019s when I got introduced to [co-owners] Bob (Jenkins) and Jerry (Freeze).<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing able to sit down with them and talk and see what their goals were, what their vision was, and the thing that stuck out in my mind most importantly is what Jerry said when we met was Bob\u2019s goal is to grow each and every year, and through the experiences that I\u2019ve had in the last several years it\u2019s been fun to challenge myself.\u201d<\/p>\n
