 Love's Travel Stops Returns as Primary Partner on the No. 34 Ford MustangMcDowell on Las Vegas:
|
| Michael McDowell on Phoenix 17 Starts Best Finish: 16th "You always look forward to your home track race. Back in the spring, it was looking like we were going to have some good speed, but ran into some issues that put us into the wall. We've come a long way since then, and we've learned a lot more about this package. I'm confident that we'll be able to run well this weekend and give our partners at Love's Travel Stops a good finish.” |  |
| Michael McDowell on Texas 19 Starts Best Finish: 14th "Texas is a little different from other mile-and-a-half tracks that we visit, mainly because the corners are different. We were able to have a great run there in the spring, with a top-15 finish. For us to have another good day on Sunday, we know we need to be able to run well in the different corners, and to have good restarts since track position is so important. I'm looking forward to having our partners at Love's Travel Stops and Luber Finer with us this weekend and I'm confident we'll be able to show them a great result.” |  |
 | Michael McDowell on Indianapolis 9 Starts Best Finish: 17th “There's something really special about going to Indy - it's almost hard to explain. That track has so much history and so many emotions associated with it, it's a place where you really want to win. At the end of the day, a lot of the time you're battling the track itself. It can be difficult to pass because the corners are so tight and you can't really run well in a pack. Pit strategy and restarts will be the key to a good run in our No. 34 Long John Silver's Ford Mustang.” |
No. 34 Ford to Pay Tribute to an Iconic Paint Scheme During the Throwback Weekend
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (August 20, 2019) – The No. 34 Front Row Motorsports (FRM) Ford Mustang will run a special paint scheme for the “Bojangles’ Southern 500” NASCAR Throwback weekend at Darlington Raceway, honoring Jimmy Means’ No. 52 Alka-Seltzer Pontiac. Means drove the iconic powder blue car in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
In its early days, Front Row Motorsports was originally known as Means-Jenkins Motorsports, stemming from a partnership between Means and current FRM team owner Bob Jenkins. Their relationship began with Jenkins sponsoring Means at Bristol with his local Taco Bell franchise, which led Jenkins to a partial ownership of Means’ race team. The team was active for one year before Jenkins separated and founded Front Row Motorsports.
McDowell’s No. 34 Ford will feature the famous light blue body with red and dark blue accents. FRM partner Dockside Logistics will serve as the primary sponsor for the race.
“Throwback weekend at Darlington is one of my favorites of the whole year,” McDowell said. “It’s fun to recreate some of the most well-known paint schemes throughout the history of our sport. Our owner, Bob Jenkins, has always admired Jimmy Means, and the Alka-Seltzer car is definitely a favorite of his. I’m really excited that we can honor their friendship with our No. 34 Dockside Logistics Ford.”
The No. 34 “Jimmy Means Throwback” Ford Mustang will make its debut at Darlington Raceway on Friday, August 30 for practice. The “Bojanges’ Southern 500” Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race airs Sunday, September 1 at 6 p.m. ET on NBCSN and MRN.

Michael McDowell Returns to Chicagoland Speedway with Love's Travel Stops Patriotic Scheme
6/26/2019
 | Michael McDowell on Chicagoland 8 Starts Best Finish: 21st "Track position is super important at a place like Chicagoland. The banking isn't quite as steep as some other intermediate tracks, which should open up the opportunity for passing. I'm confident that we can get our No. 34 Love's Travel Stops Ford in good shape to see speed and maneuverability this weekend. We're bringing back the camouflage scheme from Memorial Day Weekend, honoring Chief Warrant Officer 2 Jonathan Farmer once again, and the Special Forces Charitable Trust. We'll do everything we can to give them a great finish.” |
 | Michael McDowell on Sonoma 7 Starts Best Finish: 14th "I've been looking forward to heading to Sonoma for a while, and getting back to my road course racing roots. I cut my teeth racing at Sonoma and it's a place where you are really in control of your own destiny, especially if you have the speed. It's a challenging place where you have to think about a lot of different things all at once... handling, opportunities to pass and braking zones. Plus, adding the carousel back raises the level of difficulty. I'm confident that my guys have put together a great car this weekend and I think we have a good chance of taking our Love's Travel Stops Ford to Victory Lane.” |

 | Michael McDowell on Pocono 13 Starts Best Finish: 16th "Pocono is such a unique track and each turn is so different. If your car is good in 1, chances are it's not good in 3, so you need to figure out what's going to be the most important corner. I've always felt like Pocono is a little more similar to road courses, with each corner being different, high braking, downshifting and all those things. There's a lot of strategy involved in the race, which I think makes it fun. I'm looking forward to having another good run in our No. 34 Ford this weekend.” |
