Michael McDowell on Watkins Glen
10 Starts
Best Finish: 12th

“I always love going to Watkins Glen - and any road course, for that matter. It's one of my favorite tracks to race at. You've got to be smart about your restarts and braking zones. We've had some great speed in our Front Row Motorsports cars there in the past, so I'm really looking forward to seeing what Drew and the guys can put together for our No. 34 Long John Silver's Ford Mustang.”

"Heading to Watkins Glen this weekend, it's just so different from Sonoma, the only other road course we visit this year. It's very fast, with very sharp corners and Sonoma is almost the total opposite. Obviously, strategy comes into play a lot at a place like Watkins Glen. I'm looking forward to seeing what Mike Kelley has in store for our No. 38 MDS Ford. It's going to be a challenging race and we've got to make sure we're still there at the end in order to get a good finish.”

Michael McDowell on Pocono
14 Starts
Best Finish: 16th

“I always like going to Pocono. It's unique and fun because every corner is completely different. You have to be strategic about the changes you make to handle each corner. It's a challenging track, but we've been able to get some decent speed out of our No. 34 Ford there in the past. We're ready to capitalize on our Top-20 finish in June and come back with an even stronger result this weekend.”

"I'm looking forward to getting back to Pocono. You always want to improve on your finish from the first race. I think we can do that and have a good race. For me, it’s the first weekend with a different crew and working with Seth (Barbour), so it’s something fresh. I think we’re just eager to start building that relationship and finishing the season strong."

"Obviously, we have some changes going into this weekend. Mike (Kelley) is back with me. We worked together in the past. So, it’s good to have some changes and try some different things. Pocono has been a good track for us in the past, and I think if we do the right things, we can get a good finish and build some momentum.”

​Michael McDowell on New Hampshire
16 Starts
Best Finish: 23rd

“New Hampshire is always a cool track to visit. We don't race too much in the Northeast, so it's nice to be able to see the fans up there. New Hampshire is a tight, tough racetrack, which makes for a long Sunday, but if you plan ahead and can get your car setup right, you'll be successful. I'm confident that Drew and the entire No. 34 crew will be able to put together a great racecar for us this weekend.”

"I've only raced at New Hampshire a couple of times in Xfinity, but we've seen some good speed there in the past, so I'm optimistic about what we can do this weekend. We've got Louis Kemp Crab Delights back on the car, so I'm looking forward to putting on a good show for our partners there. They've also got a great contest running on social media for a trip to Charlotte for the fall race, which ends soon, so be sure to go check it out before it's too late."

"New Hampshire is definitely a tough place to race. It's so flat and you've got to be able to maintain grip coming out of the corners to get your car to run where it needs to. I'm excited that we get to welcome Compressor World to the team this weekend. Their products are instrumental to our race team operation, so I encourage everyone to go see what they're all about.”

​Michael McDowell on Kentucky
5 Starts
Best Finish: 23rd

“At Kentucky, it's all about restarts, pit strategy and being aggressive. But you have to be really precise in your execution, as well. You see a lot of guys spin out when they get just outside the groove and that's because you're pushing so hard to get as much throttle time as possible, but it ends up backfiring. They're applying PJ1 to the upper grooves at Kentucky this weekend, which I think will help widen out the racing and make restarts even more exciting. I'm ready to go out and get a good finish in our Love's Travel Stops Ford Mustang and I'm excited to have Ark Encounter on the car this weekend, as well. My family and I have enjoyed going there when we're in Kentucky so it's great to have them aboard the No. 34.”

"Kentucky used to be a completely different track before the repave and now it's smooth as glass. We're using a harder tire compound this weekend, which means that, because of the smooth racetrack, there's not a whole lot of tire falloff but there's a lot of speed. Essentially, what we're looking for is a car that can run wide open, but you're always trying to play with that last edge of grip, which is where the final amount of speed is. I'm excited to have Southwestern Trucking on the No. 36 Ford this weekend. We couldn't do what we do every weekend without the kind of services their company provides, so I'm looking forward to getting a good result for our partners there."

Best Finish: 8th

"Kentucky is a very similar track to Texas Motor Speedway, where we saw some good speed in our No. 38 Ford Mustang earlier this year. We'll be able to use a lot of our notes from there and apply it to this weekend to get an even better result. It's hard to be able to race outside of the groove at Kentucky, so hopefully we'll be able to see multiple lanes open up in the later part of the race with the PJ1 compound. It's really neat to have Long John Silver's and their "Fish Yeah" campaign back on an FRM car this weekend. I'm looking forward to seeing the No. 38 flying the blue and yellow colors on track for a Saturday night race.”

​Michael McDowell on Daytona

Best Finish: 5th

“We had a really strong run in the Daytona 500 this year and I'm really looking forward to getting back to Daytona. I’ve been so close to winning at this track, Front Row Motorsports has always showed up strong here, and I have a lot of confidence in our group right now. I feel we can contend Saturday night if we’re in position at the end.
 
“What’s really cool, is bringing back the Long John Silver’s colors to the No. 34 Ford Mustang. It’s always a favorite sponsor of the FRM fans and we’ve got a fresh looking scheme this time. Long John Silver’s and their “Fish Yeah” campaign is all about getting people excited about the Long John Silver’s menu- both their traditional items and their grilled options, too. So, it’s just a cool weekend with a lot happening.”

"Daytona has been good to us in the past. It's a great opportunity for all of our Front Row Motorsports Ford Mustangs to finish well and compete for the win. I'm confident that we can make the right moves throughout the race to set ourselves up to be in contention at the end.
 
“We’ll have Exploria Resorts with us as an Associate Sponsor this weekend. Keep checking our social media sites, as we’re giving away a chance for two people to join us in Daytona in February next year and stay at their Grand Seas by Exploria Resorts location.”

Michael McDowell on Kansas
15 Starts
Best Finish: 13th

“Kansas is a very fast racetrack to begin with, so I think it's going to make for an intense weekend. It's super important to maintain grip on that surface, especially for a night race. We've seen some speed in our No. 34 Ford there before, so I'm looking forward to getting in there and seeing what we can do with the 2019 package.”

"I'm looking forward to Kansas this weekend. We've had some good results with this package so far in the season at places like Texas, so I'm ready to put together another solid effort, especially because we're welcoming OutWest Express to our program this weekend. I'm excited to have them on board with us and think we have a good chance of getting a strong result for them."

"Going back to a mile-and-a-half track at Kansas, I think we'll be able to take a lot of our 2019 notebook and apply it this weekend. I know we've been able to see speed there in the past, and I'm confident that Seth and everyone in the shop will be able to put together a great car for us. We've got Mystik Lubricants on the car this weekend, and we'll see them a few more times throughout the season, so I'm looking forward to welcoming them on and off track.”

​Michael McDowell on Dover
16 Starts
Best Finish: 19th

“Dover is one of those places that still takes your breath away on that first lap as you drop into Turn 1 because it's so fast. Now with the high horsepower and extra downforce, speeds are going to be even faster. I'm excited to race there this weekend. It's one of those places where you really feel challenged, both physically and mentally as a driver. I'm confident that Drew and the guys on the crew will be able to rally for a great finish.”

"Dover has always been my favorite track, so I've been looking forward to racing there in a Cup car for a while. When you have a good day at Dover, it's one of the most fun feelings to drive a car there. I think we'll be able to take our learnings from earlier this season at places like Bristol and apply it at the Monster Mile to get some good speed out of our No. 36 Surface Sunscreen/Tunity Ford."

​David Ragan on Dover

"Dover is such a fast track. The sensation of speed that you feel as a driver is crazy. It's also a really tough track on both drivers and equipment. You can get caught up in trouble very easily there. We're optimistic about what we'll be able to do with the car this weekend and think this can be a good finish for No. 38 Ford.”

Michael McDowell on Talladega
16 Starts
Best Finish: 15th

“Talladega is one of our best chances to win a race and have a great finish for our Love's Travel Stops Ford, especially since we started the season so strong at Daytona. We know what we need to do to execute well and have a clean race. I'm optimistic about the speeds we'll see this weekend from all three Front Row Motorsports cars. We’re happy to welcome Brisk to our team this weekend, too. I think we’re all looking forward to a good run on Sunday.”

"I'm ready to head to Talladega after the off-weekend. It can definitely be an intense race and you have to find the balance between being patient and being aggressive. I think we'll see some good speed in our No. 36 Surface Sunscreen/Tunity TV Ford and if we can stay out of trouble, we'll have a shot at taking the checkered flag."

"I'm excited to head to Talladega this weekend. We've won there in the past, and we've seen some good speed there in other races, too. It'll be a special weekend to have Shriners Hospitals for Children on the car. We've been close to winning a race with them on our car in the past, and I think we'll have a good chance this weekend, again.”

Michael McDowell on Richmond
16 Starts
Best Finish: 12th

“I'm ready to regroup at Richmond. The track is usually pretty fast after the sun goes down, but it's also a track that requires good tire management. We will need to be smart and execute well throughout the whole weekend. We know we can do that and have a solid run.”

"Richmond is a cool track to race at. The banking is similar to ISM Raceway and since we had such a good run there a few weeks ago, I'm looking forward to seeing what our No. 36 Ford can do. We've got The Pete Store on our car this weekend and it's great to have them as a continued partner with FRM."

"I'm excited to get on track this weekend. Richmond is one of my favorite places we race at. Passing will be a challenge, but hopefully we will have some good speed in our No. 38 MDS/ODB Ford. I'm glad to have our partners at ODB on the car this weekend and we will definitely give it everything we have to show them a great finish.”

Michael McDowell on Bristol
17 Starts
Best Finish: 18th

“I'm looking forward to having another chance to race at Bristol this weekend, especially right now. We’re coming off of a Top-15 finish last weekend and I feel that’s where we can race weekly without any mistakes. We’ve shown a lot of speed this year and Bristol is going to be a new challenge for everyone. We’re going to carry a lot of corner speed and handling will be important. 
 
I'm hoping to carry momentum moving forward and I'm optimistic that we can get another great result for our Love's Travel Stops Ford.”

​Matt Tifft on Bristol

"Bristol always offers some great racing for the fans, but it’s always a challenge for the drivers. Saying that, I'm looking forward to Bristol because of the progression of our team. I feel the past few weeks we’re getting stronger and stronger. Bristol gives us a chance to really race up front all day.
 
I feel we can take our learnings over the last few weeks and apply them at a track with such high speeds, where it's so important to find grip. Our whole team is coming off of a good run at Texas, so I'm hoping we can go out there and finish strong again in our Surface Sunscreen/Tunity TV Ford Mustang."

​David Ragan on Bristol

Best Finish: 10th

"Bristol has been a good track for me over the years with Front Row Motorsports. Yes, aero doesn’t come into play as much. It’s back to mechanical grip there, and that’s easier for a driver and a crew chief and an engineer to work through when you have one less element that’s so critical like say, the splitter control and attitude of a car at Texas, for example, running 190 miles an hour.
 
We’re going to welcome Hulsey Environmental to our program this weekend. It’s important to see us continue to grow with new partners who are helping us on and off the track. We appreciate that and welcome Hulsey Environmental on board at Bristol.”
