Brett Moffitt to drive the #34 Ford in next three Cup races

Brett Moffitt, a Sprint Cup development driver for two Toyotas affiliated with Michael Waltrip Racing during the past several months, will be driving the #34 Ford of Front Row Motorsports as a substitute for David Ragan at Las Vegas this coming Sunday as well as the next two races at Phoenix and Fontana. Moffitt was a substitute driver for Brian Vickers at Atlanta and took the #55 Toyota to an upset eighth-place finish. Vickers, who had heart surgery in December which was connected with the blood clots he has suffered from for the past several years, will return to competition at Las Vegas. David Ragan's selection by Joe Gibbs to drive the #18 Toyota in place of the injured Kyle Busch and FRM's owner Bob Jenkins not to keep Atlanta driver Joe Nemechek for Las Vegas and beyond left another Cup racing opportunity for Moffitt to continue to prove himself in the series.
