Heavy-Duty Lubricant Brand to Make NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series Debut with Front Row Motorsports
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (October 5, 2026) – Front Row Motorsports announced this morning that Mystik® Lubricants will expand on their existing partnership with the team, joining Chandler Smith and the No. 38 NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series entry as the primary sponsor for the event at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Friday, October 9.
The race will mark the series debut for the heavy-duty lubricant brand, with FRM. Mystik served as the primary sponsor of the No. 38 NASCAR Cup Series entry and driver Zane Smith at Darlington earlier in the season and will return as the primary sponsor for (Zane) Smith at Martinsville, in November.
“We’re excited to showcase the Mystik brand on the No. 38 FRM Ford F-150 at Charlotte Motor Speedway,” said Corey VanDercook, CITGO Lubricants Sales Manager. “FRM has been a valued, long-term partner of ours, and the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series is the perfect platform to connect with our customers. It’s also ideal for introducing our latest innovation: Mystik JT-6® Heavy-Duty Syn-Blend 460 Moly Plus #2. Our new ‘More Than Moly’™ grease is specifically engineered to exceed the rigorous demands of construction and mining fleets across the country.”
“This scheme is going to look awesome on our truck,” said (Chandler) Smith. “Mystik and Front Row Motorsports have become synonymous with each other, and what better way to reinforce that relationship than fighting for a win at Charlotte Motor Speedway.”
