Noah Gragson Notes

Noah Gragson and the No. 4 Ford team head to Nashville, Tennesse for this weekend’s NASCAR Cup Series race at the Nashville Superspeedway. Having previously raced at the 1.33-mile concrete track in both the NASCAR Cup and Xfinity Series, the Nashville Superspeedway is a favorite for Gragson. In the 2024 Cup Series season, driving the No. 10 Ford Mustang for Stewart-Haas Racing, Gragson achieved a 10th-place finish. This marked his first top-10 finish in two Cup starts at Nashville. In the Xfinity Series, Gragson has three starts at Nashville. He secured an 8th-place finish in 2021 and a 13th-place finish in 2022, both with JR Motorsports. In 2024, driving for Rette Jones Racing, he earned a 5th-place finish.

Following a 10th place finish at the Charlotte Motor Speedway last weekend, Gragson jumped three spots in the NASCAR Cup Series Driver Championship points standings to 28th. Rush Truck Centers, the premier solutions provider for the commercial vehicle industry, will again join Gragson and company for the 300 lap, 400 mile race.

“I’m feeling really comfortable heading into Nashville,” said Gragson. “We were in the top-10 there last year, and we’ve had speed at the track all season long. We’re coming off a strong finish in Charlotte, so there’s good momentum in the camp. I’m looking forward to getting back out there and racing hard — it’s a place where I feel we can put together a strong run.”
