[autotag]Riley Herbst[/autotag] joined [autotag]Front Row Motorsports[/autotag] at Daytona International Speedway and showed impressive speed over the course of the weekend. Herbst qualified in sixth place and ran well before crashing out for a 38th-place finish. Now, the 24-year-old driver will receive another opportunity in the No. 36 Cup car.
According to the NASCAR roster portal, Herbst will drive the No. 36 car for Front Row Motorsports in the Cup Series race at Talladega Superspeedway. It would be Herbst’s fourth career Cup Series start as he possesses a best finish of 10th place in the 2023 Daytona 500 with Rick Ware Racing. Also, Todd Gilliland will return to the No. 38 car after Zane Smith drives the entry at Texas Motor Speedway.
Tony Manzer is set to be Herbst’s crew chief, which would be their second start together after Daytona. The pit crew is also expected to be the same from his first start in the No. 36 car. Herbst has only run superspeedway tracks in the Cup Series to this point; however, he has shown enough speed to potentially run competitively in the top 10 positions at Talladega.
