Noah Gragson achieved his best position of P6 in the Cup race on Sunday.
Jimmie Johnson, Noah Gragson, and Tony Stewart had a tumultuous rookie season when Gragson made his full-time Cup debut. However, he struggled to find speed in the Legacy MC car and failed to achieve notable results. Gragson ended up being removed from the team due to insensitive activities on social media.
Prior to the 2024 season, Gragson was hired by Stewart Hass Racing to replace another driver in the No. 10 Ford team. After participating in four races with SHR, Gragson explained why he had difficulty standing out in the Legacy MC. He attributed his struggles to slow cars, which forced him to take risks and led to more mistakes. Now, with SHR, Gragson has a faster car and has learned to be more patient.
Although Gragson had a slow start to his 2024 season in the Mercedes, he has made significant progress in recent weeks. This progress culminated in his impressive P6 position in Las Vegas, marking his first top-ten finish with SHR. Gragson expressed his joy and celebrated the result, giving credit to the support and hard work of his team. He believes this is just the beginning of better days ahead for him.
