D-. Matt DiBenedetto, Go FAS Racing’s lone driver, did not have a great first season driving for his new team. He finished in the top 10 just twice, with the first of those two top 10 finishes being a 9th place finish in the Daytona 500. In the last 35 races of the season, he had just one finish higher than 13th, and that was an 8th place finish at Indianapolis.. Go FAS Racing. Ford. GO FAS RACING

D-. Front Row Motorsports’ two drivers both finished in 30th place or lower in the final standings this season, and they combined for just three top 10 finishes, with all three of those top 10 finishes being by David Ragan in restrictor plate races. This team just could not find much speed in 2017.. Front Row Motorsports. Ford. FRONT ROW MOTORSPORTS
