Front Row Motorsports - renamed Front Row Motorsports with Yates Racing since Doug Yates joined in 2010 - is a racing team that competes in the US NASCAR .
The team began racing in 2004 when team owner Jimmy Means and restaurant owner Carl Jenkins formed the Means-Jenkins Motorsports racing team . In 2005, all shares were transferred to Jenkins and his brother, but Means remained with the team as a consultant.
Sprint Cup
Car # 34/98
The number 34 was first used in 2004 in the spring race at Atlanta Motor Speedway , the Golden Corral 500 , with Todd Bodine at the wheel. However, at that time the Ford still had start number 98 and belonged to the Mach 1 racing team of Chris Edwards.
In 2005 the car was taken over by Front Row Motorsports and used alternately with drivers Ted Christopher and PJ Jones . However, there were no countable successes and during the year rumors surfaced that the team wanted to sell the vehicle again. Obviously, the team decided not to sell, because the number 34 was back in 2006. The drivers struggled to qualify for the races throughout the season. On Randy LaJoie followed Chad Chaffin, Kevin Lepage and Chad Blount. Only Mike Skinner , who followed Carl Long and Greg Sacks, achieved a countable success with 37th place and a leading lap in the 3M Performance 400 at Michigan International Speedway . Other pilots of the season were Johnny Miller, Brian Simo, Kertus Davis and Joey McCarthy, but all of them failed in their respective qualifications.
In 2007 the car was originally intended to be used for the entire season with Kevin Lepage at the wheel. After Lepage missed the qualification four times, the program was reduced. Front Row hired John Andretti , who started in selected races. Chad Chaffin also took part in some events. Since Lepage had an annual contract, he switched to the car with starting number 37.
In 2008 he switched to Chevrolet . Andretti contested the 500-mile Daytona , but then moved to Roth Racing in the Indy Racing League and was replaced by Tony Raines .
In 2009 Andretti and Raines drove the Chevrolet Impala SS again. The good placements in the course of the year secured the team a fixed starting position for the number 34 for the first five races of the 2010 season . In 2010, Travis Kvapil drove the car with the number 34.
Car # 37/92
The car - a Chevrolet - originally had the starting number 92, which Stanton Barrett drove in 2005. In 2007, through a cooperation with R&J Racing , the car with the start number 37 was made from the start number 92. Similar to the start number 34, the start number 37 has not had any great success to date. It is worth mentioning Kevin Hamlin's 2009 Sprint Cup debut .
In 2010 Kevin Conway drove the car with the number 37
Car # 38
Front Row has been using a third vehicle in the Sprint Cup since 2010. David Gilliland and Robert Richardson take over the helm alternately. The Coca-Cola 600 is to contest John Andretti.
