Noah Gragson Notes

Noah Gragson will complete his second full time season in the NASCAR Cup Series this weekend at the Phoenix Raceway. In four previous Cup starts at the one-mile track, Gragson has two top-15 finishes, finishing 12th in both 2024 races with Stewart Haas Racing. In eight Xfinity Series starts, Gragson has one win, three top-five, and five top-10 finishes.

Long John Silver’s joins the No. 4 Ford Mustang Dark Horse this weekend, partnering with Gragson for the 312-lap event. Long John Silver’s is putting chicken in the driver’s seat right alongside its legendary seafood. Fans know Long John Silver’s for wild-caught Alaskan fish and iconic seafood, but now the best chicken tenders in the industry are in pole position to get the attention they deserve with the No. 4 “Chick Yeah” scheme. This rebrand signals a modernized look and a focus on food innovation, like the new chicken wraps launching later this month, all while keeping Long John Silver’s seafood heritage firmly in the winner’s circle.

“It’s been a tough year, no doubt,” said Gragson. “I really thought we’d get things turned around, but it just hasn’t gone that way. We had a ton of speed here in the Spring, so I’m hoping we can bring that back and finish the season strong.”
