If you’ve been following the garage talk lately, you know that finding a partner who sticks around in NASCAR is tough. In this sport, paint schemes change faster than the weather. That’s why the news dropping this Thursday is such a breath of fresh air for the No. 4 team. Noah Gragson isn’t just keeping a sponsor. He’s building a home with one.

MillerTech, also known as the premium lithium-ion battery folks, decided they’ve seen enough fire in the belly of the 27-year-old driver to sign on the dotted line for the long haul. We aren’t just talking about a one-and-done deal here. They have committed to a multi-year extension that keeps their colors on the No. 4 Ford Mustang Dark Horse through the end of the 2027 NASCAR Cup Series season.

A Vote of Confidence for the Driver

For a guy like Gragson, this has to feel like a massive weight off his shoulders. We all know the talent is there. You don’t win 13 races in the Xfinity Series by accident. But the transition to Cup Series Sundays is brutal. It chews drivers up.

Having a partner like MillerTech say, “We believe in you,” gives a driver a different kind of confidence behind the wheel.Lester Miller, the CEO of MillerTech, made it clear this wasn’t just a business calculation. It was about the person in the seat.

“Noah and Front Row Motorsports represent the kind of commitment and character we stand on at MillerTech,” Miller said. “Staying with them for a multi-year program was an easy decision. We are grateful for the relationship, proud of what we accomplished together, and ready to keep growing this partnership in a big way.”

Where You’ll See the Colors in 2026

The new deal gets rolling with some heavy hitters on the 2026 schedule. MillerTech is stepping up as the primary sponsor for three major races next year.First up, they’ll be riding along for the NASCAR All-Star Race at Dover Motor Speedway on May 17. If you know Gragson, you know he loves a place where you can drive it hard into the corner, and the Monster Mile is exactly that kind of joint.

Then, they return for a trip to the Pocono Raceway on June 14. The “Tricky Triangle” is a strategy game, and the No. 4 team will need to be on point. Finally, they cap off the primary sponsorship slate up north at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on August 23.

Gragson Finally Finding His Footing

It’s no secret that the road to Cup Series stability has been rocky for the Las Vegas native. Getting the ball rolling at the top level is the hardest thing to do in American motorsports. But if you’ve been watching closely over the last couple of seasons, specifically his 2025 run with Front Row Motorsports, you can see the pieces coming together.

The stats are starting to tell a better story. Over the last two years, Gragson has secured two of his three career top-five finishes. He’s also racked up 10 of his 11 career top-10s in that same span. That isn’t luck. That’s progression.

The highlight of the 2025 campaign so far has to be that fourth-place run at Talladega in the spring. It was a reminder that when the playing field is leveled, Gragson can mix it up with the best of them.

“It means a lot to have MillerTech return to Front Row and the No. 4 Team,” Gragson said about the news. “Lester and the entire MillerTech family’s continued support shows they believe in the direction we’re heading, and I’m excited for what we’ve got lined up for the 2026 season.”

Powering The Adventure

The partnership isn’t stopping at the track, either. In a smart move to engage the fanbase, the two sides are launching a six-part social series called “Powering Your Adventure.” It’s going to highlight how MillerTech products work for the fans whether you’re camping in the infield at Charlotte or heading out for a weekend fishing trip away from the noise of the engines.

For Front Row Motorsports, securing this kind of stability allows them to focus on what matters: making fast cars. And for Noah Gragson, knowing he has support through 2027 means he can just go out there and drive.
