CITGARD to Return to Front Row Motorsports as an Associate Sponsor
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (April 16, 2025) – Front Row Motorsports (FRM) is proud to announce a multi-race sponsorship for Mystik® Lubricants, for select NASCAR Cup Series events with Zane Smith and the No. 38 Ford Mustang Dark Horse team as well as an all-season associate sponsorship. CITGO® CITGARD® Heavy Duty Engine Oils brand will also join Zane as an associate sponsor.
The Mystik brand will serve as the primary sponsor on the No. 38 Ford Mustang Dark Horse in two NASCAR Cup Series events this season. Smith will carry the Mystik colors at Nashville Superspeedway (Tenn.) in June and at the Iowa Speedway (IA.) in August.
“We look forward to continuing our partnership with Front Row Motorsports and supporting our new driver, Zane Smith,” said Braden McElroy, CITGO General Manager, Lubricants. “Having the new Mystik Lubricants-centered design on the No. 38 car this season provides great brand exposure with millions of racing fans. It will be an unbeatable combination, just like how Mystik JT-6® Greases and CITGARD Heavy Duty Engine Oils are for any tough situation your equipment may face in the field.”
“I am excited to have Mystik and CITGARD back on board the No. 38 this season,” says Smith. “Mystik and CITGARD have been involved with Front Row Motorsports since 2018, and I believe we have the team and capabilities to give them some strong results this season. Our hauler drivers and mechanics are pretty stoked to have their products around the shop also.”
Fritz Sports & Event Enterprises (FSE) continues to oversee the partnership.
