Noah Gragson Notes
Noah Gragson and the No. 4 team head back to the Volunteer State this weekend, with the annual trip to Nashville Superspeedway, located in Lebanon, Tennessee. In three previous NASCAR Cup Series starts at the 1.330-mile concrete tri-oval, Gragson has recorded a best finish of 10th, which occurred in the 2024 event. Last season, Gragson finished 38th after an on-track incident shortened his race after just 112 laps. Gragson also has three starts in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series at Nashville, with two top-10 finishes in those events.
The Rush Truck Centers colors will again be featured on the No. 4 Ford Mustang Dark Horse this weekend, in Nashville. For over 60 years, Rush Truck Centers has provided premium products and services for the commercial vehicle market at over 150 dealerships across North America. Through their commitment to keeping customers up and running, Rush Truck Centers proudly serves the region around Nashville Superspeedway, with locations in Nashville (Ten.) and Smyrna (Ten.).

“Charlotte didn’t quite go the way we had hoped but I feel like we’re still building on something,” said Gragson. “If we can get better at doing the small things right, that will add up and we will start getting the finishes we deserve. I’m proud of the fight in my Rush Truck Centers team, and Nashville is a place that we know we have the ability to run well at. We’ll just need to make sure that we keep up with the track, as we move from day into night, and make the right adjustments to stay in the hunt. If everyone is on point and does their jobs, we will come out with a solid run.”

In the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series, Smith has three top-5 finishes in three starts at the track, finishing fourth in 2021 and second in both 2022 and 2023.

These points add up quick, and if we can put together a solid month, in June, we’ll be in the hunt for the Chase in no time.”
