[autotag]Front Row Motorsports[/autotag] locked a front-row starting position at the 2024 Daytona 500 with Michael McDowell on Wednesday night; however, it may not be the best news of the week. On Thursday morning, Front Row Motorsports announced a multi-year extension with Ford, including a technical alliance with Team Penske and a jump to Tier 1 status.
Front Row Motorsports will now collaborate with Team Penske on engineering, aerodynamics, race setup, strategy, pit crew development, and other projects. In other words, the jump to a Tier 1 program will significantly increase the possibility of Front Row Motorsports being competitive in 2024 and the coming years.

This is a massive day for Front Row Motorsports. McDowell and Todd Gilliland ran well in 2023, including a win for the No. 34 team at the Indianapolis Road Course. Now, Front Row Motorsports will have the resources to become a consistent, winning team in the NASCAR Cup Series, an organization’s dream come true.
