With Stewart Haas Racing breaking up after the season, they have many charters for sale. One of the charters is being picked up by Front Row Motorsports, but so far, there is no news as to which one. Noah Gragson will be leaving for Front Row Motorsports after this season, and now fans want to know which car he will get to drive.
Many details, like his crew chief, car number, and spotter, are yet unknown. Now, some fans are waiting for an official announcement to be made. Although the patient lot were ready to wait, others just couldn’t do that. So when a few met Noah Gragson in Kansas, they asked him which number he would be running, and here is what they claim he said.
The fact that Noah Gragson was able to find himself a team for 2025 is good news in itself, and now, according to a rumor from the tracks, his team and car number have been decided. According to fans, Gragson answered their question about which car number he will be driving, saying, “4 I was told.”

From what fans have brought to light, it seems that even Noah Gragson is not sure about his future car number. However, on hearing the No. 4 car’s name, it’s hard to forget how Kevin Harvick used to dominate the tracks using the same number. The possibility of SHR’s No. 4 car going to Front Row Motorsports came from when the latter team decided to expand to three cars.
Speaking of this year’s Cup Series season, it is going much better for Gragson than his last, and it is a chance for him to prove that FRM made the right move by bringing him in. His 2023 was quite disappointing for various reasons, and Legacy Motor Club decided to let Josh Berry take over before the season ended.
So, for now, it is Josh Berry who is driving Kevin Harvick’s No. 4 car, and Cole Custer is the only Cup Series driver for the Haas Factory Team. For next season, Josh Berry will be going to Wood Brothers Racing to join the No. 21 team.
Coming to the No. 4 car, Kevin Harvick first sat in the car in 2014 and replaced Ryan Newman, and has 37 wins in this car till 2022. This came after 2 winless seasons in 2008, and 2009 and an exit for Harvick from RCR. Hopefully, driving the No. 4 SHR car when it’s in Front Row Motorsports will also help in improving Gragson’s performance.
While his performance is leaps and bounds better this year, he has still only managed to score one top-5 finish at Talladega. Well, everything we have learned so far is that these are rumors and need to be approached with a pinch of salt. One thing we know for sure is that Gragson will be heading to Front Row Motorsports, so let’s see what he had to say about his time with SHR.
Noah Gragson’s experience with Stewart Haas Racing
When 2023 ended badly for Noah Gragson, Stewart Haas Racing put their faith in the driver. Despite him being let go halfway into the season, SHR brought him on board. Grateful to SHR for giving him a seat after a difficult 2023 season, Gragson had nothing but nice things to say about the team.
Back in July, when Gragson spoke about his time at SHR, he said, “When we started out this year, I didn’t know how I was going to run. I didn’t know if I had the potential to run in the Cup Series just based off how the 2023 season went, and to be able to get my feet underneath me with the opportunity at Stewart-Haas, it definitely opened people’s eyes.”
When the news about SHR shutting down broke out, Gragson explained how he got introduced to the owners of Front Row Motorsports. Gragson explained, “With the challenges that have come about with Stewart-Haas, we were looking for a home for a long time, and that’s when I got introduced to [co-owners] Bob (Jenkins) and Jerry (Freeze).”

Now that he is heading to FRM next season, Noah Gragson will be reunited with his old teammate Todd Gilliland from his Kyle Busch Motorsports days in the Craftsman Truck Series. Everything looks quite positive for Gragson, as he managed to secure a seat shortly after SHR’s disbanding news surfaced. In his time with SHR, Noah Gragson managed to snag one top-five finish and six top-10s, with an average finish of 18.3 over 20 races in the No. 10 Ford for Stewart-Haas Racing.
Considering the rumors that fans are claiming are true, do you think that it will be Kevin Harvick’s No. 4 car that Gragson will be driving?
