Gragson will continue to compete for the team while working alongside Todd Gilliland and Zane Smith, the other two Cup Series drivers signed through the 2027 season.
Gragson returning to the No. 4 Ford Mustang for another season is something that Front Row Motorsports previously discussed.
General manager Jerry Freeze told SiriusXM NASCAR Radio that the team wanted Gragson back in the building. They just had final details to work through before an announcement.
"We want Noah back at Front Row, and I feel pretty good about it," Freeze said in July. "We're working through the last details in his agreement, so I feel pretty good about it. I'd look for something out of us in a few weeks on that.
"These programs, there's a lot of moving pieces to it, and you've gotta put all of it together. We believe in his talent."
Gragson has been in the No. 4 since the start of the 2025 season. He has posted four top-10 finishes and one top-five while working with two different crew chiefs. He will make his 135th career Cup start this weekend at Richmond Raceway after announcing his contract extension.
Gragson first made his debut in the Cup Series in 2022 while driving for Beard Motorsports, Kaulig Racing, and Hendrick Motorsports. He has since driven for Legacy Motor Club, Stewart-Haas Racing, and Front Row Motorsports.
Prior to moving up to the Cup Series, Gragson spent four seasons in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series with JR Motorsports. He won 13 races and finished top three in the championship standings in both 2021 and 2022.
Gragson also spent two seasons in the Truck Series with Kyle Busch Motorsports. He won two races and finished runner-up in the 2018 Truck Series championship standings.
