FRONT ROW MOTORSPORTS ANNOUCNES 2007 PLANS

Denver N.C. - Front Row Motorsports (FRM) announced today they will run two (2) cars during the 2007 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup season. FRM will run the #34 driven by Kevin Lepage with Randy Seals as the crew chief.

For the second FRM entry, team owner Bob Jenkins has formed a partnership with John Carter. The team will convert the 61 number from 2006 to the #37 for the 2007 season. The team has hired Bill Elliott to run a limited number of events, with Chad Chaffin slated to compete in the remainder of the schedule. Mark Tutor will serve has crew chief for the team.

NASCAR veteran Gere Kennon will be Director of Competition and oversee the efforts of both teams. Both teams will run Dodge Chargers powered by motors built by Ernie Elliott Inc.

"Given the increased level of competition this season, I could not be happier with the group of experienced professionals we have assembled," stated Jenkins. "I am excited about our driver line-up, and with the opportunity to partner with someone like John. In addition, our affiliation with Dodge has already paid dividends in testing and with car preparation. Obviously to compete at this level, sponsorship is essential to having a successful team. We currently have several associate sponsorships in place. However, we are continuing to pursue full-time primary sponsors for both teams. Our approach has always been to build a strong foundation so that a potential sponsor would see themselves as the only missing component to our success."
