Controversial Noah Gragson gets back on the wheel

Noah Gragson's career seems to be returning to stability. After a lively second part of the season which notably earned him his position at Legacy Motor Club for supporting a controversial social media post last August, the Las Vegas native is on his way back.

A time suspended indefinitely before seeing his suspension lifted a month and a half later after having followed the rehabilitation program of the NASCAR, Noah Gragson once again became eligible for a starting spot. But which team would have the courage to relaunch with a boy often affected by controversy? The answer came three months later with the announcement of his return full time during the 2024 season.

It's Stewart-Haas Racing who will take the gamble with the 25-year-old next year. Noah Gragson was offered the No. 10 Ford Mustang from the Kannapolis (North Carolina) team, vacated by Aric Almirola after 6 years of good and loyal service at SHR. As a bonus, he got a multi-year contract. A great way to bounce back after a tumultuous 2023 season.

« I think all the opportunities, experiences and time I spent with different people, listening and learning, allowed me to understand new things, advance the main interested party. Being on the outside, it's never easy to see someone doing your job, is it? I enjoy the sport differently now and have found a new love for it when I was perhaps a little burnt out last year, and I'm the first to admit that. But the passion and love I have for this sport has never been stronger than today. »
