Noah Gragson Notes
Noah Gragson returns to his stomping grounds this weekend as the NASCAR Cup Series faces the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The hometown hero has an impressive record at the 1.5-mile track, recording seven top-five finishes in eight O’Reilly Auto Part Series starts. In the Cup Series, Gragson’s best finish at the track came in March 2024 where he started 30th and finished sixth.
Featured as the primary sponsor on the No. 4 car for this weekend’s race will be Curate, creators of the next generation of restaurant apps. Curate is built to help restaurants move faster, deepen customer relationships and grow in a digital-first world. For the brand, NASCAR represents speed, precision and teamwork – values that align perfectly with how Curate approaches technology for the restaurant industry. Curate also sees similarities with their approach to innovation in driver Noah Gragson, as he embodies the next generation of racing talent – focused, competitive and always pushing forward.
As part of this sponsorship, Curate is also proud to spotlight Ike’s Love & Sandwiches, an iconic brand and notable partner of Curate. Fans of Ike’s know the brand for its legendary tradition of naming sandwiches after local celebrities and athletes, a tribute to community, culture and impact. Ike’s Love & Sandwiches founder, Ike Shehadeh, opened his first locations in San Francisco and Palo Alto, building a loyal following in the same communities that shaped Curate’s founders during their time at Stanford, where Ike’s became a familiar part of campus life. Ike’s Love & Sandwiches has three (3) locations in Nevada, including a location just a short drive from the track, in Las Vegas.
“This sponsorship is an exciting opportunity for Curate to tell our story on a national stage alongside Noah Gragson and an incredible partner like Ike’s Love & Sandwiches,” said Grant Russell, CEO and Co-Founder of Curate. “Our platform helps restaurant brands build stronger direct relationships with their customers, and we see this partnership as a natural extension of the energy, ambition, and forward momentum that define our brand.”
“Last week was rough, from start to finish, but we’ll put it behind us and get ready for this weekend,” said Gragson. “I’m excited to get back to Las Vegas and spend some time with family and friends before racing in front of the hometown crowd on Sunday, with a new partner to the sport on board, Curate. We had a strong run there, in the fall, and I feel like we can repeat that this weekend to get ourselves back on track before returning to the east coast.”
