Furniture Row Racing is an American professional team that currently competes in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series. The team currently fields the No. 77 Toyota Camry full-time for Erik Jones, and the No. 78 Camry full-time for Martin Truex Jr..
The team is owned and sponsored by Furniture Row, a U.S. furniture store chain, and is based in Furniture Row's home city of Denver, Colorado; it is the only NASCAR team headquartered west of the Mississippi.
The team was also the first single car team ever to make the Chase for the Sprint Cup, which it did in 2013 with Kurt Busch, again in 2015 and 2016 with Truex.
Furniture Row Racing has a technical alliance with fellow Toyota team Joe Gibbs Racing; from 2010 until the end of 2015, the team had an alliance with Richard Childress Racing under the Chevrolet banner.
The team made its NASCAR debut in the Busch Series at Nashville Superspeedway in 2005 with Jerry Robertson driving, starting 24th and finishing 33rd. Robertson ran ten races with the team in 2005, his best finish being a 22nd at California Speedway. The team made two NEXTEL Cup appearances as well, with Kenny Wallace debuting the team at Dover International Speedway, and Robertson running at Phoenix International Raceway.
