Noah Gragson is an aggressive driver. And although there’s nothing wrong with that, the thing that is hand-in-hand with being an aggressive driver is the fact that sometimes you lose your control and go a little over the line.

Or in Gragson’s case at Road America, a lot over the line.
However, Freddie Kraft, the NASCAR spotter for Bubba Wallace, had some advice for the JR Motorsports driver. And no, it wasn’t a criticism of his driving style.
Rather, it was the same thing that he did, but better, something Gragson and his boss Dale Earnhardt Jr approved of, as they liked the Instagram post of the same.
“I don’t really fault Noah for this. What I fault Noah for is, do a better job! Like if you wanna wreck the guy, wreck the guy. Don’t wreck yourself in the process,” Kraft said.

“That’s the reason we had all these cars piling up,” he continued. “If he, just right, look the guy and left rear quarter panel, turns him across, he’s gone, the track’s all clear, we’re all good to go.”
“But he does a half-a** job of it, wrecks himself, wrecks all of us in the process.”
The penalty handed to Noah Gragson wasn’t enough, according to Brandon Brown
After his recent Road America incident, NASCAR handed Noah Gragson a fine of $35,000 and stripped him of 30 points. But this, according to one ‘victim’ of Noah Gragson’s actions in the race, wasn’t enough.
Brandon Brown claimed that at first, NASCAR didn’t want to do anything.
It was only after the whole thing “got pretty big on social media”, that they decided they needed to take some action.

But even that, in Brown’s view, wasn’t harsh enough.
“Everybody’s pretty much sugarcoated what he’s done. He’s getting a little bit of a slap on the wrist for it,” Brown claimed.

He added that if they accept the kind of driving that was on display at Road America from Gragson, and if they’re upset about it, then they needed to do something more.
