The countdown to the 2025 NASCAR season is on, and the excitement is palpable. After a chaotic offseason and some surprising driver changes, all eyes are on Noah Gragson as he prepares for a breakthrough year. After a promising rookie campaign and a remarkable Xfinity Series career, Gragson’s potential as a future NASCAR star is undeniable. And now, with a new sponsor and a fresh start at Front Row Motorsports (FRM), he’s positioned as an underdog to watch in the upcoming season.
Gragson’s meteoric rise
Gragson’s rookie season in the NASCAR Cup Series was nothing short of impressive, especially considering the struggles he faced at Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR). Despite the team’s challenges, he managed to achieve seven top-10s, 16 top-15s, and a memorable P3 at Talladega. His consistency and talent were not lost on observers, leading to his move to FRM and a preferred seat in the No. 4 car.
Now partnered with Rush Truck Centers as primary sponsor for eight races, Gragson is poised to make even more waves in 2025. Sponsorship begins with the season-opening race, the Daytona 500, followed by marquee races at COTA , Texas, Kansas, Nashville, Indianapolis, Bristol and Talladega.
Rush Truck Centers s’engage pleinement
Rush Truck Centers, a 16-year NASCAR sponsorship mainstay, is bolstering its confidence in Gragson. After sponsoring his No. 10 car at SHR last year, they continue their partnership at FRM. This time, they’re bringing a bold new look to Gragson’s No. 4 car, ditching the Clash’s forgettable gray scheme for a striking red, yellow and black livery. The design is already generating excitement among fans as one of Rush Truck Centers’ best designs to date.
WM Rush, President of Rush Enterprises, expressed his enthusiasm for the continued partnership:
“Rush Truck Centers is proud to continue our active involvement in NASCAR with this move to FRM as the primary sponsor of Noah Gragson and the No. 4 team. We have a passion for winning in business and on the track.” We see this same passion in Noah and the entire FRM team. »
Rush also highlighted how racing has become a pillar of the company’s identity since entering NASCAR in 2010:
“This partnership represents a new chapter in the legendary history of the No. 4 car, and we are thrilled to be a part of it. »
A new start at FRM
Gragson’s move to FRM represents a significant opportunity for both driver and team. FRM has been steadily building its reputation as a competitive force in the NASCAR Cup Series, and Gragson’s arrival could be the catalyst for their next big step. Superspeedways like Daytona and Talladega should be strong points for the No. 4 team, where Gragson’s aggressive and calculated driving style can shine.
For Gragson, it’s a chance to cement his place among NASCAR’s elite. With FRM’s resources and the support of a long-term sponsor like Rush Truck Centers, it’s poised to make a serious impact in 2025.
Is Gragson the dark horse to watch?
Gragson’s journey from Xfinity star to rising Cup Series star has been one of determination, talent and undeniable passion. With a new sense of momentum and a strong partnership with Rush Truck Centers, the 25-year-old enters 2025 with the tools needed to succeed. As the season approaches, fans and analysts are keeping a close eye on Gragson to see if he can exceed expectations and emerge as one of the year’s rising stars.
With the Daytona 500 just weeks away, one thing is clear: Noah Gragson and the No. 4 FRM team are ready to shake up the NASCAR landscape.
