Noah Gragson set in motion one of the biggest stories of the summer in NASCAR thanks to his antics on social media. The whole fiasco ended with Gragson getting suspended indefinitely by his team Legacy Motor Club and NASCAR. Gragson had released a statement at the time apologizing for his actions and he received a mixed response. Several weeks have passed since then and the former Cup Series driver is back racing.

It has been a long wait for the 25-year-old driver but he was back racing in the APC United Late Model Series in Ontario, Canada. Founded in 2015, it is a local motorsports series that races around the short oval tracks in Ontario. The touring season sees about seven to ten races per year across six tracks.

Noah Gragson takes to the asphalt again

After being suspended by NASCAR and Jimmie Johnson’s Legacy Motor Club, this was one of the first motorsports events the 25-year-old has taken part in. Gragson has since been re-instated by NASCAR but he will not be a part of Jimmie Johnson’sLegacy Motor Club.

This has left Gragson’s future up to speculation but as of now, there has been no clarity on the matter. Perhaps Gragson will not be a part of NASCAR even in the 2024 season.

Right now, Gragson is racing in the APC United Late Model Series, and after the race on Sunday, the former Cup Series driver how grateful he was for the opportunity to be back in a racing car.

“It’s a lot of fun,” Gragson said. “I can’t believe, all you guys, there’s a ton of fans that came out, so thank you guys for all coming out, and, we’re having fun on this John Arch group, APC Late Model. It’s been fun working with Gary and his team. So, raced last week, I didn’t know I was gonna run.”

Now that he has been reinstated by NASCAR, there is no doubt that Noah Gragson will eventually return to the Cup Series, be it the next season or sometime in the future. There have been several reports speculating the 25-year-old’s future.

Rumors about Gragson’s future do the rounds

On an earlier episode of the Door Bumper Clear podcast, NASCAR journalist Matt Weaver was a guest and he was talking about Gragson’s reinstatement by NASCAR. Spotter TJ Majors at the time said that Gragson and Chris Rice would get along well.

Rice is the president of Cup Series team Kaulig Racing and the team has a relationship with Gragson.

“So he and Chris Rice are gonna get along real well,” Majors had said at the time.

Gragson raced for Kaulig Racing in the Cup Series in 2022, starting ten races for the outfit and recording a highest finish of 18th at Kansas. At the time, he had signed a contract with the team to share the #16 car with AJ Allmendinger.

Right now, Noah Gragson’s future is not certain and it does not seem like there will be any clarity in the near future. Which team do you think will be the perfect fit for the 25-year-old? Let us know your thoughts.
