Front Row Motorsports has made a thrilling announcement as they head into the 2025 season.
The team has had a busy few months, having declined to join NASCAR’s new charter agreement in September. This decision led to a legal battle with NASCAR, in which they were joined by Michael Jordan’s 23XI Racing. This legal dispute is still ongoing.
Recent developments in the case, however, have been pivotal for Front Row Motorsports. Not only have they secured their position for the 2025 season, but their plans for expansion are also set to move forward.
Front Row Motorsports Acquires a Third Charter
In an exciting update shared ahead of the 2025 season, Jerry Freeze, General Manager of Front Row Motorsports, announced: “FRM has finalized the purchase of our third charter from Stewart-Haas Racing.” He added, “Announcements on driver, car number and additional partners will be coming soon.”
The team’s intention to expand to three cars was first revealed back in May. After overcoming legal challenges, it now seems that Front Row Motorsports is on track to field three full-time cars next season. The identity of the driver for the third car remains to be disclosed.
Noah Gragson and Todd Gilliland have already been confirmed for the team in 2025, with the driver for the third car expected to be announced shortly.

“Mark Martin Urges Fans to Tune In to Roush’s 1991 Collapse Story: ‘A Must Listen'”
NASCAR icon Mark Martin recently encourage his followers on social media to tune in to the latest episode of The Scene Vault podcast, which delves into the 1991 Cup Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway. At the time, Martin was driving the #6 Ford for Roush Racing and had just missed out on his first Cup Series title the previous year, finishing 26 points behind seven-time champion Dale Earnhardt.
Martin’s performance in the 1991 Motorcraft 500 was compromised when a mistake by a crew member forced him to return to the pits twice in less than three laps. This setback put him behind his competitors and upset Roush Racing owner Jack Roush. The team’s crew chief, Robin Pemberton, offered a detailed account of the events surrounding the faulty pit stop.
Encouraging fans to hear the full story, Martin shared the podcast on X, adding:
“This is a must-listen. Excellent insight into our team in 1991.”
Over his 31-year NASCAR career, Martin became one of the sport’s most accomplished drivers, earning 96 wins across NASCAR’s top three series, including 40 in the Cup Series. Despite never securing a championship and finishing as the runner-up five times, his legacy as a NASCAR legend remains intact.
After retiring from racing at the conclusion of the 2013 Cup Series season, Martin chose to stay away from the sport, unlike some of his contemporaries, such as Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr., who returned as part-time competitors. Martin’s decision to retire solidified his place as one of NASCAR’s elite drivers.
