No. 38 Ford to Pay Homage to NASCAR Hall of Famer in Final Race with FOX Sports
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (June 18, 2019) - The No. 38 Front Row Motorsports Ford Mustang will run a special paint scheme for the "Toyota/Save Mart 350" Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race at Sonoma Raceway this weekend in honor of Darrell Waltrip's retirement, David Ragan announced on NASCAR Race Hub on FS1 today.

Elected into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2012, Darrell Waltrip is a three-time NASCAR Cup series champion and retired from racing in 2000. He has been a staple of the FOX Sports booth since 2001. In April of this year, he announced that 2019 would be his last season as a broadcaster.
 
Inspired by Waltrip's No. 17 Western Auto/Parts America Monte Carlo which he drove in the late 1990s, Ragan's No. 38 Ford will feature a red and white design, complete with "#THANKSDW" messaging, Waltrip's likeness on the hood and his signature "Boogity, Boogity, Boogity! Let's go racing, boys!" catchphrase.
 
"I'm so grateful for the opportunity to run this scheme during Darrell Waltrip's last race as a broadcaster with FOX," said Ragan. "We've developed a great relationship over the years and he's truly been an asset to our sport. It still gives me chills listening to replays of him calling my Talladega win in 2013. His enthusiasm for racing is unmatched and I know we will all miss seeing him up in the booth each week. All I can say is, 'Thanks, DW.'"

The No. 38 "Darrell Waltrip Throwback" Ford Mustang will make its debut at Sonoma Raceway on Friday, June 21 for practice. The NASCAR world gears up for one final "Boogity, Boogity, Boogity" from Waltrip on Sunday, June 23 at 3 p.m. ET on FS1 and PRN.

David Ragan Ready to Lead CITGARD to Another Strong Weekend
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (June 5, 2019) – For the second time in 2019, David Ragan’s No. 38 Ford Mustang will carry the CITGARD colors during the “FireKeepers Casino 400” Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race at Michigan International Speedway.

CITGARD, a member of the CITGO® Petroleum Corporation family of brands, began its 2019 partnership with Front Row Motorsports (FRM) at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Michigan will be CITGARD's second race of the year with the No. 38 Ford. Coming off a strong run in Las Vegas, where Ragan qualified sixth (his best of the season thus far), the team anticipates an even stronger weekend ahead.
 
“It’s great to have CITGARD back on the car this weekend in Michigan,” said Ragan. “We had some great speed and a great qualifying effort with the car in Vegas. Seth and the crew have worked hard to develop our speedway notebook, and we've been making a lot of progress with this package, earning a top-15 at Charlotte. Michigan is a super fast racetrack. It’s a fun place to race, but it’s also very challenging. Maintaining track position is super important, and that’s where strategy comes into play a lot of the time. I’m looking forward to putting on a good show for our partners.”
 
The No. 38 CITGARD Ford Mustang will take to the track at Michigan International Speedway on Friday, June 7 for practice and qualifying. The “FireKeepers Casino 400” Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race will air Sunday, June 9 at 2:00 p.m. ET on FS1.

Greenville, S.C. Patient to Join Ragan for VIP Race Experience
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (April 23, 2019) - David Ragan and Front Row Motorsports (FRM) will once again bring the colors of the Shriners Hospitals for Children to the NASCAR Cup Series. Ragan will make the 2019 debut of the No. 38 Shriners Hospitals for Children Ford Mustang during this weekend's events at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway.

Ragan and the team will also host a patient of the Shriners Hospitals for Children-Greenville at the track on Sunday. Antonio Knowles, who goes by "AJ", has been a patient of the Shriners Hospitals for Children since he was just one year old. Born with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, a condition which causes decreased joint flexibility, the now 10-year-old can do many things he wasn't able to do when he first became a patient. Simple things that most people take for granted, like walking and talking, were made possible with the help of his medical team at the Greenville Shriners Hospital. Now able to get around with the assistance of a walker, AJ is a testament to the drive and determination of Shriners Hospitals for Children kids. AJ and his mother will be guests of the team on Sunday.

Ragan has a day of activities planned for Knowles and his mother, including a tour of the garage, his hauler and joining him during all the pre-race activities before Sunday's race. AJ and his mother will stay and watch the race with special seating made possible by Talladega Superspeedway. 

"It's always great to race the Shriners Hospitals for Children scheme on our car and host a patient, family and donors of the hospitals," said Ragan. "We've been close to winning a race with the Shriners Hospitals on our car in the past, and I think we'll have a good chance this weekend, again."
 
"We're going to have our biggest fan, AJ, with us to help give us that extra luck we need on Sunday," added Ragan. "Learning about AJ and his story, it's pretty inspirational and really tells the story of what Shriners Hospitals for Children does for these patients. The hospitals are some of the best in the country and they are no cost to the families."
 
Ragan has been a member of Shriners International since 2012 and serves as its NASCAR ambassador. He visits Shriners Hospitals during the race season and raises awareness and funds for Shriners Hospitals for Children through various campaigns, public service announcements, donations and activities. Earlier this year, Ragan auctioned off 2018 Shiners Hospitals for Children race car at the Barrett-Jackson auction. The winning bid, made by Rick Steele of Select Blinds, raised $300,000 for the Hospitals.
 
Shriners Hospitals for Children provides specialized care to children with orthopaedic conditions, spinal cord injuries, burns and cleft lip and palate regardless of the families' ability to pay.
