Will Defend Indianapolis Motor Speedway Win and Debut in McDowell’s Hometown
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (January 30, 2024) – Horizon Hobby, a global leader in RC products, will again return to Front Row Motorsports (FRM) for the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season. After a thrilling victory on the road course last year at the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the Horizon Hobby colors will return to defend its win with Michael McDowell and the No. 34 team as NASCAR returns to the oval at the world’s most famous track in July.
The No. 34 Ford Mustang Dark Horse will also be decked in the Horizon Hobby scheme when the NASCAR Cup Series visits the Phoenix (Ariz.) Raceway in March. McDowell’s home track, this will be the first time the radio control company will be the primary partner in the Phoenix market.
The company will also be a season-long associate partner with McDowell and the team.
McDowell, a passionate RC participant himself, is hoping to repeat the magical moment he shared with Horizon Hobby last season and looks forward to their debut in Phoenix.
“It was a great day in Indianapolis last year and I’m thrilled that Horizon Hobby will again be with us this year as we want to repeat that moment more and more,” commented McDowell. “Horizon Hobby promotes fun, family and activities for people of all ages. You can be a kid or an adult and like planes, cars or boats and have fun with so many Horizon Hobby products. It’s just a cool partner for us and the sport.”
