Front Row Motorsports has one of NASCAR’s most intriguing openings as the organization acquired a third charter for the 2025 Cup Series season. To this point, Front Row Motorsports has signed Noah Gragson and given Todd Gilliland an extension, leaving the final car open. However, one driver has been labeled as the favorite to land the ride in 2025.
According to FOX Sports’ Bob Pockrass, Zane Smith is the top candidate to join Front Row Motorsports; however, Smith’s hold on the seat becomes more uncertain as time passes. Smith previously ran for Front Row Motorsports full-time in the NASCAR Truck Series, with select starts in the Cup Series. It would be a massive reunion, but it likely needs sponsorship.
Smith signed with Trackhouse Racing last year but likely won’t have a ride with the organization due to a possible new rule that requires teams to cap out at three charters. With van Gisbergen the likely favorite for a third car, Smith could rejoin Front Row Motorsports. It will be fascinating to see whether the two sides can come to an agreement or not.
