Front Row renews and expands deal with Ford Performance
Front Row Motorsports announced Thursday it has extended and expanded its relationship with Ford Performance as it kicks off its 20th anniversary as a NASCAR organization.
As part of a new multi-year agreement, FRM will become a Tier 1 program with Ford. As part of a new technical alliance, FRM will also now collaborate with Team Penske on engineering, aerodynamics, race setup, strategy, pit crew development and other projects.
The announcement comes on the heels of FRM driver Michael McDowell claiming a front row starting sport for Sunday’s Daytona 500 in Wednesday night’s time trials at Daytona International Speedway.
“I am proud to wear the blue oval and be associated with an iconic American brand in Ford,” said team owner Bob Jenkins.
“Our relationship with Ford has continued to build over the past decade and we’re now showing our success over the past several seasons in the Cup and Truck Series, and that is something that I’m very proud of.”
