On Thursday, Horizon Hobby announced they will return to Front Row Motorsports (FRM) in a multi-year and multi-race partnership.

The RC racecar company and it’s Losi brand have significantly grown their footprint in the sport over the past few years. In fact, in 2024 they debuted six NASCAR Cup Series schemes, including the No. 34 Horizon Hobby Ford Mustang Dark Horse. Now, the partnership moves from the flagship entry at FRM to the No. 38 of Zane Smith where it will serve as a full-season associate partner and two-race primary partner.

Smith, who is no stranger to Horizon Hobby, started working with the brand during his 2022 NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series campaign and is eager to work together again.

“I’m excited to be back with Horizon Hobby for the next couple of seasons,” he said. “I go back with them to my previous time at FRM and they really are a fun partner to have on board and I can’t wait to hit the ground running with them again”

This year will be special for Horizon Hobby as they celebrate their 40th anniversary.

“We’re delighted to continue our partnership with the FRM team and NASCAR,” said Chris Dickerson, President, Horizon Hobby. “It’s a great honor to collaborate with Zane once again and we eagerly anticipate a triumphant season on the track. We are also dedicated to enhancing our bond with NASCAR fans through the upcoming release of the 2025 Losi NASCAR product line.”

This partnership will align with Horizon Hobby’s release of new products through the NASCAR season, starting this spring with two new Losi RC schemes.

Fans can look forward to seeing Zane Smith’s No. 38 Horizon Hobby Ford Mustang Dark Horse hit the track at Kansas Speedway in May and at Dover Motor Speedway in July.
