Noah Gragson Notes
Rush Truck Centers returns this weekend in the brand’s fourth primary race with Noah Gragson and the No. 4 Ford Mustang Dark Horse team as the NASCAR Cup Series heads to the Kansas Speedway.
Gragson has had his fair share of success at the 1.5-mile Kansas City, Kansas speedway. He started from the pole and dominated the May 2018 NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series race, leading 128 of 167 laps en route to victory. In the Xfinity Series, Gragson has made five starts at the track, earning three top-15 finishes and one win. In the Cup Series, his best result in five starts is a ninth-place finish, notching that finish with crew chief Drew Blickensderfer at Stewart-Haas Racing
“I’ve always run pretty strong at Kansas,” said Gragson. “I don’t know if I’d say it’s my absolute favorite track, but it’s definitely been good to me over the years. I’ve been able to figure it out pretty well—I’ve got a win there in Xfinity, one in Trucks, and we’ve shown some solid pace in the Cup car too. Even if the finishes haven’t always reflected it, we’ve had strong runs. Going back to Kansas, especially knowing how we ran last Spring and pulled off a top-10 with a ninth-place finish, it’s something I’m excited about. There’s confidence there. It’s a place I feel comfortable, and I know what I need out of the car. Now it’s just about putting together the full weekend—execution, adjustments, and capitalizing on the speed we’ve got. If we do that, I think we can put ourselves in a great spot again.”
