#77. It was recently confirmed that Erik Jones, the current driver of the #77 car, is moving to the #20 car of Joe Gibbs Racing, the car Matt Kenseth currently drivers, following what has been a pretty solid rookie season so far. With Matt Kenseth, the oldest full-time driver in the series, no longer having his ride at Joe Gibbs Racing in the 2018 season but still wanting to race full-time, his next best option would be to drive for Furniture Row Racing, the team with whom Joe Gibbs Racing has an alliance. With the seat of the #77 car officially open, this is his most likely landing spot.. Furniture Row Racing. Toyota. MATT KENSETH

#78. Martin Truex Jr.’s contract with Furniture Row Racing does not expire at the end of this season, and we can only assume that his recent success in NASCAR won’t either. The “King of Stage Racing” is set to come back to this two-car operation in 2018 and beyond, perhaps as a newly crowned NASCAR champion.. Furniture Row Racing. Toyota. MARTIN TRUEX JR.
