Noah Gragson Notes

Noah Gragson heads to “Wine Country” this weekend for 110 laps at the Sonoma Raceway. While this will only be his second Cup Series start at the 1.99-mile road course, Gragson has three top-10 finishes and one win at the track in the K&N Pro Series West. Long John Silver’s will return to Gragson’s Ford Mustang Dark Horse for the event.

“Sonoma’s always been one of my favorite road courses—if not my favorite,” said Gragson. “I had some success there in the K&N Pro Series West days, but since the repave, it’s a whole new challenge. It’s a lot faster now, and the old techniques don’t quite apply. This will only be my second time on the new surface, and last year didn’t go great—we got wrecked early and had to limp it home to 26th. With one street course and two road courses under my belt this year, I’m looking forward to seeing how we stack up. It’s a beautiful place and always a lot of fun to go there because it’s so different.”
