Front Row Motorsports (FRM) is thrilled to welcome Noah Gragson to its NASCAR Cup Series lineup for the 2025 season. Gragson, a dynamic and accomplished driver, will pilot the No. 4 Ford Mustang Dark Horse, marking a new chapter for the organization.
Gragson’s Impressive Journey
The 26-year-old Las Vegas native has made a name for himself in NASCAR with notable achievements across multiple series. Gragson earned two victories in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and amassed an impressive 13 wins in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. His 2022 Xfinity campaign saw him finish as the championship runner-up, solidifying his reputation as a top-tier talent.
In the NASCAR Cup Series, Gragson has already logged 59 starts, with seven top-10 and two top-5 finishes. Most of these achievements came during his tenure with Stewart-Haas Racing, where he showcased consistent improvement in his second Cup season.
Blickensderfer Returns to FRM as Crew Chief
Drew Blickensderfer, a seasoned Cup Series crew chief with 16 years of experience, will join Gragson at FRM to lead the No. 4 team. Blickensderfer previously worked with Gragson at Stewart-Haas Racing, where the duo achieved notable success in 2024, including seven top-10s, 16 top-15s, and one top-5 finish.
Blickensderfer’s return to FRM is a homecoming of sorts, as he was instrumental in Michael McDowell’s 2021 Daytona 500 victory while serving as the crew chief for FRM’s No. 34 team. “I’m excited to be back with Front Row Motorsports,” said Blickensderfer. “Returning alongside Noah makes this opportunity even more special. Bob (Jenkins) and Jerry (Freeze) have created an environment where success is achievable, and I’m eager to contribute to that.”
Strengthening the No. 4 Team
Joining Blickensderfer at FRM are key members from the former Stewart-Haas No. 10 team, including:
- Chris Trickett – Interior Specialist
- Matt Moeller – Engine Tuner
- Dillon Silverman – Engineer
- Matt Murphy – Transport Driver
Gragson expressed his gratitude for the continuity these team members bring: “I’m grateful to have my crew chief, Drew, along with four members from last year’s team join Front Row Motorsports. This gives us a strong foundation to hit the ground running in the 2025 season.”
A New Era for Front Row Motorsports
The addition of Gragson and the No. 4 team signals FRM’s commitment to growth and competitiveness in the NASCAR Cup Series. With Gragson’s proven abilities, Blickensderfer’s leadership, and a cohesive team in place, FRM is poised to make significant strides in 2025.
Looking Ahead
While partner announcements for the No. 4 team are forthcoming, anticipation is already building for what promises to be an exciting season. Gragson’s move to FRM represents a new chapter in his career and a pivotal step forward for the organization.
“This is a great opportunity to build something special with Front Row Motorsports,” said Gragson. “I’m ready to take on this challenge and make the No. 4 Ford Mustang Dark Horse a consistent contender on the track.”
With a strong foundation in place and a shared vision for success, Gragson and FRM are ready to embark on a new era of competition in the NASCAR Cup Series.
