Landon Cassill will return to the Cup Series for Front Row Motorsports in 2017. The 27-year-old has competed full-time in the Cup Series for the past six seasons, finishing a career-high 29th in the championship standings in 2016. At Bristol in the spring, the #38 car was out front for 20 laps, the most laps he has ever led in a single race. Cassill is seeking to secure sponsorship for next year, much like he did in 2016, in hopes of moving forward after a career year. ‘We’re continuing to work forward on everything with Front Row Motorsports,’ Cassill said. ‘I don’t see any changes being made, but everything will be getting buttoned up in the next few weeks I’m sure.’ Cassill had a career-high seven top-20 finishes in 2016, led by veteran crew chief Donnie Wingo. With a best finish of 11th at Talladega, the Iowa native is tired of being underrated, instead wishing he was ‘overrated.’ Cassill wants to climb the ladder with FRM, moving them up the ranks to be a more competitive team in 2017. Jerry Freeze, General Manager at Front Row Motorsports, confirmed to Frontstretch that Cassill will return in 2017, admitting that the organization’s plans are not completely laid out for 2017. ‘I think so, too,’ Freeze said of Cassill remaining with the team. ‘We still have to get everything worked out with all the partners, but we are really close.’(Frontstretch)
