Front Row Owner Bob Jenkins Explains How They Found Noah Gragson for the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series Car

Owner of Front Row Motorsports Bob Jenkins is very happy to land Noah Gragson for the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season. Speaking with NASCAR reporter Claire B. Lang on Tuesday, Jenkins explained how they added Gragson to the team.

“It’s just a great opportunity,” Jenkins said. “When the Stewart-Haas announcement was made, I looked at Noah and I thought, man, this is a great opportunity to get a good driver, a good person who’s a little bit outside of the Front Row norm. He’s not as conservative as some of the drivers we’ve had in the past.”

Jenkins added that he likes that Gragson is unlike other drivers the team has signed in the past. “I think the fans really relate to him and they respond to him,” he said. “I’ve seen him go into the garage, he never walks past a fan wanting an autograph. He just really appreciates being a part of NASCAR.”

Jenkins likes Gragson’s passion for NASCAR, but Front Row wanted him for what he’s done on the track. “Every series he’s ever raced in, he’s done well,” Jenkins said. “That says a lot, because they’ve all been different types of cars. … He’s mastered it at every level he’s raced in.”

Gragson is the second driver Front Row has signed for the 2025 season, and the team is expected to announce a third driver soon. Jenkins believed Gragson could take the next step with Front Row as he continues to grow and develop.

“We feel this is a great opportunity and the perfect time to bring Noah into our organization,” Jenkins said in a press release. “He has just the right amount of experience in the NASCAR Cup Series to break out and be a winner for years to come. This season, Noah has started to finish and consistently race at the front, which is what was expected of him.

“By joining our team, staying with Ford Performance and welcoming him to our partners, we are only going to increase his chances of winning races and competing in the playoffs. This is the driver who wants to bring us more wins.”

Gragson said, “I think a lot of people have seen the growth of Front Row Motorsports over the last few seasons in the NASCAR Cup Series. This team, with Ford Performance, has shown that it has the ability to win and wants to win more.”
