MOORESVILLE, N.C. – Fr8Auctions, an Atlanta-based asset liquidation firm, will return to Front Row Motorsports with increased efforts of its NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series teams. Fr8Auctions will again support Michael McDowell and the No. 34 Ford Mustang team, and now play an integral part of Zane Smith’s run for the NCWTS championship. Fr8Auctions will also be a major associate partner of both teams all season.
Fr8Auctions will begin their primary partnership with McDowell, the defending Daytona 500 champion, at its home track, the Atlanta Motor Speedway in March. The company will run double duty, also debuting the Fr8Auctions Ford F-150 with Smith during the NCWTS event the same weekend. The popular Fr8Auctions brand will return with McDowell at the Coca-Cola 600 in Charlotte in May and be the primary partner at Atlanta in July, the Pocono Raceway on July 24, the Darlington Raceway on Sept.r 4, and the Martinsville Speedway on Oct.30. Both vehicles will focus on the “.com” in “FR8Auctions.com” as they look to debut their online presence in the coming months.
Smith will welcome Fr8Auctions back on the No. 38 Ford F-150 at the Darlington in May, Pocono in June, and the Richmond Raceway in August.
“It’s so cool to see all the support that Fr8 Auctions gives to NASCAR and their growth as a business, too,” said McDowell. “They have been one of our biggest fans and supporters at Front Row Motorsports. I consider Marcus a friend and he treats us like family. We cannot have the success that we have found over the past two seasons without the support and efforts of Marcus and his staff at Fr8Auctions.
“But most importantly is the work that we do for Brave Like Wyatt,” added McDowell. “That is a Foundation that is close to Fr8Auctions heart and ours, too. FRM has done a lot to support the Foundation, but we always want to do more and will continue to do more this year.”
The Brave Like Wyatt Foundation was established in 2019 to honor the memory of Wyatt Hatcher, who loved life and loved superheroes. He was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome and had a heart transplant before his second birthday. The transplant allowed Hatcher to enjoy nine more years of life and had even beat cancer. However, the chemotherapy medication had damaged the donor heart and Hatcher passed in January. The Brave Like Wyatt mission was then born to help ease the burden of families dealing with similar circumstances by contributing to community resources, providing financial assistance for household bills, travel and when needed, funeral expenses.
