The 25-year-old stated at the time of the announcement: "I've always felt at home with Front Row Motorsports. "They believed in me when I signed with them to race in the Truck Series initially in 2022 and we shared so much success together, winning six races and a championship in two seasons. "Unfortunately, everyone had to make tough decisions because there were only two Cup cars available at Front Row Motorsports going into last season when I was ready to move up full-time. "Now, going into next year, Front Row has really taken their Cup program to another level and I cannot think of a better lineup of teammates. Todd (Gilliland) and Noah (Gragson) are great friends of mine and we all have a lot to prove as young drivers in the Cup Series. "It is a great time to come back and continue to build my career with an organization where I know I can win." He added: "I want to thank Bob [Jenkins, owner], Jerry [Freeze, general manager] and Mark Rushbrook at Ford for making this happen. "I know that we can win together in the Cup Series like we did in the Truck Series. It's a great time to come back as we continue to make FRM even better." NASCAR All-Star Open results 1.

There's something about the younger guys they never had to deal with consequences." Dillon ultimately finished the All-Star Open in third, whereas, Smith crossed the line in sixth. 2025 NASCAR All-Star Open Carson Hocevar secured the All-Star Open victory, advancing to the All-Star Race along with second-place finisher John Hunter Nemechek. Commenting on the win, Hocevar explained: "Yeah, super big for this group, this team. It's great to win, especially being challenged by tires there. I had my hands full. We definitely have to go to work here on our race car because I didn't really like it, but it's a good sign that we didn't like it and we were still pretty quick there. "Hopefully we can take advantage of it. I've seen Kasey Kahne win and Dale and others win from the Open and stuff. Maybe we can take that advantage of having this notebook and move forward early and be able to take this Chevy up front." Nemechek also commented: "We have a shot to go win a million dollars. Hats off to this No. 42 team. We unloaded and we had good two- or three-lap speed, but no longer on pace. "Proud of them for the effort they put in yesterday and what they were able to find, and pitting there at that last deal, I knew I couldn't win from where I was at. We came and got two (tires) and that helped us out. Hats off to the whole 42 team. Proud of the effort." NASCAR All-Star Open results 1. Carson Hocever, No. 77 Chevrolet, 2.
