Statesville, NC, United States (AHN) - Due to a new ownership alliance with Doug Yates,Yates Racing and Front Row Motorsports, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series' new team name is Front Row Motorsports with Yates Racing.
Doug Yates, part-owner of Yates Racing, will be the listed as the owner of the No. 37 and No. 38 Fords with Front Rown owner Bob Jenkins remaining owner of the No. 34 Ford Fusion.
"There has been a lot of movement this past off-season inside the sport," said Yates. "The opportunity came up with Bob (Jenkins) and to continue in the ownership role. I didn't have to think long about making this decision."
"Bob is really putting together a strong team this season and has done so over the past few seasons. He's been smart and making all the right moves as an owner. He's capitalized on the changes in the sports landscape and has built a solid team with great factory support and drivers. That's what excited me about making this move," Yates added.
The alliance assures all three entries of being in the top 35 in owner points and unites Yates with former drivers David Gilliland and Travis Kvapil.
Gilliland and Kvapil raced with Yates Racing in 2008 and 2009 and the move locked in all three, who will share information in a combined Sprint Cup effort.
"There has been so much that has happened for us in the past two months," said Jenkins. "But, having Doug come on board is a big piece of our puzzle coming together heading into this season. He brings such a family tradition of winning and a lot of confidence to everyone here. His relationships with Ford Racing, Roush/Yates Engines, David and Travis immediately make us a stronger team."
