Ever since he raced Bandoleros at the Bullring in Las Vegas as a 13-year-old, Noah Gragson has always been in it to win it. 12 years later, Gragson graduated to briefly join the elite circuit. He raced through 22 races but slipped towards mediocrity as he averaged a 28.2 finish. So, when his already wavering rookie season with LMC came to a halt after NASCAR ousted him for his inappropriate social media activity, Gragson’s future appeared bleak for the longest time. 

2024 spells nothing but good fortune. Gragson has officially revived his career by signing up with Stewart-Haas Racing’s #10 team in the Cup Series on Wednesday. Now that he has proved himself through his off-track reparations, the budding racer turns his attention toward a new start, and he has plenty of well-wishers to nudge him forward!

Amongst those who congratulated Noah Gragson on scoring a ride back in the Cup Series were his current boss Tony Stewart and his former one at JR Motorsports, Kelley Earnhardt Miller. The legendary crew chief  of the #4 team, Rodney Childers, also chimed in to celebrate Gragson’s new venture and shared, “Excited to have @NoahGragson join us @StewartHaasRcng..There is a lot of excitement going on at our place!!”.

The #10 driver’s new teammate, Josh Berry, also raised a toast. But perhaps the one that stood out the most was from Kelley Earnhardt. Wishing her former driver the best of luck for his future, she took to Twitter to share, “Proud of you @NoahGragson. You are a better person for all that happened, and I loved seeing your confidence and happiness today! Go get ’em kiddo!”

And it wasn’t just his former boss who chimed in to share how bright the future was going to be for Gragson. Tony Stewart also shared in a statement, “Noah deserves to be in the NASCAR Cup Series and we’re very happy to have him as the driver of our #10 Ford Mustang. Noah has performed at every level where he’s competed and has regularly been in championship contention. That’s the kind of driver we need at Stewart-Haas and that’s why Noah is a part of our team.”
