Josh Wise announced on Twitter Tuesday that he would be leaving Front Row Motorsports (FRM) on Tuesday morning, “Super thankful for @FrontRowNASCAR and my two years there! Was time to make a change and I’m really excited about 2014! I will keep you all posted on my 2014 plans in the coming days.”
FRM posted the following message on the team Facebook page stating, “Because a lot of you have been asking about the status of the No. 35 car and Josh Wise, we wanted to give you an update. Josh has accepted an offer to drive for another team in 2014, and we absolutely wish him the best in that new role. He’s been a good team member and we’ve appreciated his contributions over the past two seasons.
“We do plan to continue running the No. 35 car in 2014, although the program for that car is still in development. It is our expectation to use more than one driver in that role, and we are currently looking at driver candidates and potential partners to help fund and finalize that program. We’ll keep you posted as it comes together and expect to have some announcements soon.”
Wise ended the season with an average start of 34.7 and an average finish of 34.9 and led 1 lap. He’s competed with FRM for the past two seasons and had a best finish of 19th at Talladega in May.
