Michael McDowell, a longtime fixture at Front Row Motorsports, will leave the NASCAR Cup organization following the conclusion of the 2024 season.
The 39-year-old driver – who won the 2021 Daytona 500 – made the announcement on Wednesday posting a statement on social media. “For the past seven years, I’ve been fortunate to call Front Row Motorsports ‘home.’ Together, we’ve challenged the giants of NASCAR, leaving a mark on the sport that I’m proud to be a part of,” McDowell said.
Almost half of his 477 Cup series starts, and eight of his nine career top-five finishes have come with the Bob Jenkins-owned organization. So far this season, McDowell has excelled in qualifying, winning the pole at Atlanta and Talladega and started on the front row for the Daytona 500, but struggled with closing races with good results. He is currently 26th in the series standings entering Sunday’s race at Darlington Raceway.
