Zep serves as the Official Cleaning Supplier of FRM and appears as a primary partner on the No. 4 car at two Cup Series races, starting this Saturday, June 28, in Atlanta. Zep will also be featured as an associate partner across all FRM vehicles, including entries in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series.

After his 2024 season, Gragson signed a multi-year agreement to drive full-time for FRM. With Zep on board and a strong foundation of crew members carried over from his former team, Gragson is ready to compete on one of the biggest stages of the season.

“We’re growing as an organization, and this race is a chance to show we’re here to compete,” said Gragson. “Zep has been incredible to work with. They stocked the shop with everything from degreasers to all-purpose cleaners, and the whole team was excited. Plus, the car looks amazing in the Zep blue and yellow colors. Yellow has always been my favorite color, and it makes it easy for fans to spot the car from the stands.”

“Partnering with Zep is a great step forward for our organization,” said Jerry Freeze, General Manager of Front Row Motorsports. “They’re supporting us through branding as well as helping our team’s performance in the shop and at the track. Their energy, commitment, and innovation align perfectly with our goals as we look to grow and compete at a higher level.”

Saturday’s Quaker State 400 marks the opening round of NASCAR’s first-ever In-Season Tournament - a new, bracket-style competition featuring 32 drivers vying for a $1 million prize. The race will be televised on TNT Sports at 7:00 PM ET and broadcast on the Performance Racing Network and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.

Gragson previously found success at Atlanta in the Xfinity Series, earning three top-five finishes, five top-10s, with an average finish of 8.3. Now driving for a team where he feels right at home, he sees this weekend as a pivotal opportunity.

Fans can meet Gragson in person at the Fan Zone area of EchoPark Speedway on Saturday, June 28, from 3:50 PM to 4:05 PM ET.

The partnership coincides with the national launch of Zep’s Cherry Bomb Auto+ Degreaser & Cleaner, now available in over 2,500 Walmart locations and online at Zep.com. Built for everything from cars and garages to tools and grills, the professional-grade formula reflects the same high-performance standards that Gragson and FRM bring to the track.

A Ukrainian drone strike killed one person and wounded three others in the Russian city of Voronezh, local officials said Sunday.

A young woman died overnight in a hospital intensive care unit after debris from a drone fell on a house during the attack on Saturday, regional Gov. Alexander Gusev said on Telegram.

Three other people were wounded and more than 10 apartment buildings, private houses and a high school were damaged, he said, adding that air defenses shot down 17 drones over Voronezh. The city is home to just over 1 million people and lies some 250 kilometers (155 miles) from the Ukrainian border.

The attack came the day after Russia bombarded Ukraine with hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles overnight into Friday, killing at least four people in the capital Kyiv, according to Ukrainian officials.

For only the second time in the nearly four-year war, Russia used a powerful new hypersonic missile that struck western Ukraine in a clear warning to Kyiv and NATO.

The intense barrage and the launch of the nuclear-capable Oreshnik missile followed reports of major progress in talks between Ukraine and its allies on how to defend the country from further aggression by Moscow if a U.S.-led peace deal is struck.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Saturday in his nightly address that Ukrainian negotiators “continue to communicate with the American side.”

Chief negotiator Rustem Umerov was in contact with U.S. partners Saturday, he said.

Separately, Ukraine’s General Staff said Russia targeted Ukraine with 154 drones overnight into Sunday and 125 were shot down.
