Rasmussen Air & Gas Energy Partners with Front Row Motorsports
For the Iowa race, RAGE returns as a partner with Front Row Motorsports and Gragson’s No. 4 team.

Insights from RAGE Leadership
“At RAGE, we believe compressed air and gas deserve a seat at the table, right beside water, electricity, and natural gas, that’s why we call it the Fourth Utility,”
said Larry Rasmussen, CEO, RAGE.
“Compressed air powers nearly every product made today – and we engineer the systems that keep it flowing. Our return to NASCAR and FRM is more than visibility – it’s a celebration of what powers performance: speed, teamwork, and the technology behind the scenes.”
Gragson Shares Thoughts on Iowa Speedway and Upcoming Race
“I’m excited to get to Iowa this weekend — it’s always been a fun track and one I’ve had circled on the calendar for a while,”
said Gragson.
“I’ve got a lot of history there, going back to my K&N days in 2015. Last year we were fastest in practice, but loose in qualifying which caught us off guard. Everyone was slipping and sliding on the new asphalt. The corners were really dark where they repaved, but it’s lightened up quite a bit since then. What makes tracks like Iowa so great is how they age — the hot summers and freezing winters build character over time, and that’s what gives them their unique challenges. Iowa is a place I love going to and I’m looking forward to the weekend.”
Significance and What to Expect at Iowa Speedway
Noah Gragson’s combination of proven track performance and the strong backing of Front Row Motorsports and RAGE positions him as a contender to watch in the race at Iowa Speedway. The track’s unique surface conditions, shaped by seasonal weather patterns, present a challenging yet rewarding course for drivers who can adapt and maintain consistency. This event will test Gragson’s resilience and skill while allowing RAGE to showcase its commitment to high-performance technology on a national stage. Fans and teams alike will be eager to see how this collaboration unfolds during the intense 350-lap contest.
