John Andretti will drive the #34 Front Row Motorsports Ford as one of three entries from the newly expanded team in the 2010 Daytona 500. Andretti will also race in the Budweiser Shootout. Andretti’s eligible for the season-opening special event due to winning Daytona’s 1997 mid-summer Cup race, the Pepsi 400. Travis Kvapil, who’s signed to wheel the #34 the rest of the season, will drive FRM’s #37 at Daytona in place of rookie Kevin Conway, who NASCAR wouldn’t approve to race on the 2.5-mile superspeedway. Robert Richardson Jr. will drive the team’s third full-time car, the #38. A Nationwide Series regular, Richardson will drive the season’s first three restrictor-plate races for FRM. Kvapil will switch to the #34 at Fontana the second week of the season; Conway will drive the #37; and David Gilliland will step into the #38, which he’ll drive in the majority of this season’s races. Team owner Bob Jenkins said Andretti, who secured the #34’s locked-in spot in the top 35 to start this season in the 34 races he ran for FRM in 2009, will also do a handful of other races this season in the #38.(NASCAR.com), hearing that Window World will sponsor Andretti and the #34 Ford in Daytona, at the Budweiser Shootout and Daytona 500. Window World sponsored Andretti in five races in 2009 on the #34 and in the Indy 500.(2-1-2010)
UPDATE: Coming off a successful debut in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series beginning in last season’s Daytona 500, Window World Inc. announced it will return as the primary sponsor of the #34 Window World Cares Ford driven by John Andretti in this year’s “Great American Race.” Window World and Andretti will again team with Front Row Motorsports. The #34 Ford will feature Window World’s foundation, Window World Cares, and its charitable beneficiary, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.(Breaking Limits PR)(2-1-2010)
