Noah Gragson Notes
The NASCAR Cup Series returns to the Irish Hills of Michigan and the Michigan International Speedway this weekend. Noah Gragson and the No. 4 Front Row Motorsports team enter the event after collecting a 16th place finish at Nashville Superspeedway on Sunday, their fourth top-20 result of the 2026 season. Gragson has competed at Michigan International Speedway in the NASCAR Cup Series on three previous occasions, with a best result of 12th, in 2024, for Stewart-Haas Racing. Gragson has experienced previous success at the 2.0-mile oval in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, with four top-10 finishes in four starts. In 2022, Gragson started from the pole and led 39 laps on his way to a third-place finish.
Noah Gragson and the No. 4 team are welcoming a new partner to their Ford Mustang Dark Horse for this weekend’s race at Michigan International Speedway. Physical operations software developer, Ribbiot, joins the Front Row Motorsports sponsor lineup, with their first venture in the sport. Built for real-world operations, and based in Irvine, California, Ribbiot’s purpose-built platform offers centralized management of people, processes and equipment, all within a unified system covering quoting, scheduling, execution, payroll, billing and reporting. The system enables equipment-intensive specialty trades to replace fragmented systems and paper-based processes with a structured variety of operational management tools, created for optimization and reduced costs.
“Physical operations are complex when every day involves coordinating people, qualifications, equipment, certifications and field execution,” said Ribbiot Chief Executive Officer, Joe Frigo. “Companies need to get all those pieces working together to accomplish their work, or they lose. It’s actually very similar to the job a race team has, so they can go out every weekend, and it’s what makes Front Row Motorsports the right kind of partner for us. We’re proud to be on the No. 4 at Michigan and looking forward to a great run with Noah and the team.”
“We were able to get a solid finish in Nashville, even through some mistakes that we made during the race,” said Gragson. “We’ve still got to work harder on cleaning up those mistakes, to get ourselves in a better position on-track for the later portions of each race. Track position is just so important and will be important again this weekend, in Michigan. I really enjoy going to Michigan. It’s a fun, fast track, and it’s always one that we circle on the calendar to bring our best efforts in Ford’s backyard. We’re excited to see what we can do for Ford, and for Ribbiot, in their first race on the car.”

Zane Smith Notes
Zane Smith is back in the Aaron’s Lucky Dog scheme this weekend for Ford’s home race at the Michigan International Speedway. It was at the 2.0-mile oval that Smith captured his first NASCAR win, taking the checkered flag in the 2020 NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series event. In the NASCAR Cup Series, Smith has two starts at the track, finishing seventh in both the 2024 and 2025 events.
“Michigan is one of those I always have circled on my calendar,” said Smith. “We race there right on my birthday, and it’s been a good one for us. I think we finished in the top-10 the past couple times there, and that brings a level of confidence for sure. I got my first NASCAR win there in the Truck Series. So that’s awesome. And then just for all the manufacturers, but especially us, we try to get that one for Ford. We know how much that means to Ford. I’ve gone to Dearborn and visited all of the employees, and I know how much it means to them. There is a level of pressure that comes with going into that weekend. I think it’s like extra brownie points if you could win that one. So, that one’s high on the list to try to get.”
