Noah Gragson has secured a one‑year contract extension with Front Row Motorsports, keeping the No. 4 Ford in his cockpit for 2027.
Front Row Arms Up All Three Stars
The team has now locked its top trio for the next season: Gragson, Todd Gilliland and Zane Smith all signed contract extensions, cementing a stable lineup.
Gragson’s Cup Journey to Date
At 28, the Las Vegas native has accumulated thirteen victories as an O’Reilly driver and two wins in the Truck Series, yet a Cup triumph remains elusive. He has delivered three top‑five finishes and twelve top‑tens in his career, with a best result of third place. By season’s end in 2026, he will approach 150 starts in the premier series.
Gragson’s debut with FRM came before the 2025 season, where he finished 34th in the standings; this season he has slipped to 31st, trailing both teammates.
During a TruTV interview, Gragson expressed deep appreciation for Front Row’s leadership, citing owner Bob Jenkins, GM Jerrey Freeze and competition director Drew Blickensderfer as key allies. He noted unfinished business and a desire to run consistently in the top‑15 with the team.
“I just want to work on being the best piece of the puzzle for our team and the best leader,” he said, adding gratitude for the opportunity to continue building his career with the organization.
Front Row’s decision to secure Gragson for 2027 signals confidence in the driver’s potential to turn recent results into tangible success.
