Noah Gragson Notes
The Iowa Speedway is up next on the NASCAR Cup Series schedule. Noah Gragson is no stranger to Iowa Speedway. He’s made multiple starts across NASCAR’s national and regional series at the 0.875-mile oval, with consistently strong results to show for it. In two NASCAR Xfinity Series starts at the track in 2019, he recorded finishes of sixth in June and fourth in July. His NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series performances include a sixth-place finish in 2017, when he also started from the pole, and a runner-up result in 2018. Additionally, in the ARCA Menards Series West (formerly the K&N Pro Series West), Gragson posted three top-six finishes—third and second in 2015, and sixth in 2016.
Rasmussen Air & Gas Energy (RAGE) returns with Front Row Motorsports to partner with Gragson and the No. 4 team for the 350-lap event. RAGE proudly manufactures, rents, sells, and services industrial air compressor systems and compressed gas equipment. Proudly based in Waterloo, Nebraska, RAGE has grown into a national operation with employees across the country and regional offices in Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, and Kentucky.
“At RAGE, we believe compressed air and gas deserve a seat at the table, right beside water, electricity, and natural gas, that’s why we call it the Fourth Utility,” said Larry Rasmussen, CEO, RAGE. “Compressed air powers nearly every product made today – and we engineer the systems that keep it flowing. Our return to NASCAR and FRM is more than visibility – it’s a celebration of what powers performance: speed, teamwork, and the technology behind the scenes.”
“I’m excited to get to Iowa this weekend — it’s always been a fun track and one I’ve had circled on the calendar for a while,” said Gragson. “I’ve got a lot of history there, going back to my K&N days in 2015. Last year we were fastest in practice, but loose in qualifying which caught us off guard. Everyone was slipping and sliding on the new asphalt. The corners were really dark where they repaved, but it’s lightened up quite a bit since then. What makes tracks like Iowa so great is how they age — the hot summers and freezing winters build character over time, and that’s what gives them their unique challenges. Iowa is a place I love going to and I’m looking forward to the weekend.”
