Noah Gragson Return to NASCAR : The 25-year-old driver, who faced suspension in August over an incident involving a racially insensitive social media post, is slated to return to the NASCAR Cup Series in 2024. Gragson has inked a multi-year deal with Stewart-Haas Racing, taking the reins of the No. 10 Ford Mustang.
Following his suspension on August 5 and reinstatement by NASCAR on Sept. 12, Gragson most recent Cup Series appearance was on July 30 at Richmond, racing for Legacy Motor Club.
Having accumulated one top-five finish in 39 Cup Series starts, Gragson boasts an impressive track record in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, clinching victory 13 times and securing the runner-up position for the championship in 2022.
Tony Stewart, co-owner of Stewart-Haas Racing alongside Gene Haas, expressed satisfaction with Gragson’s arrival, stating, Noah deserves a spot in the NASCAR Cup Series, and we’re thrilled to have him driving our No. 10 Ford Mustang. His consistent performance across different racing levels and frequent championship contention aligns perfectly with the kind of driver we seek at Stewart-Haas.
At Stewart-Haas, Gragson, who parted ways with LMC on August 10, steps into the shoes of the retired Aric Almirola.
Sharing his excitement about the opportunity, Gragson said, I’m thankful for this chance with Stewart-Haas Racing. While many are winding down for the offseason, Im eager to kickstart 2024 and hit the track at the earliest. Stewart-Haas embodies a true racing spirit, evident the moment I stepped into the shop. The bar is set high here, with a strong aspiration for competition and victories. I hold myself to high standards and aim to deliver for Tony, Gene, and everyone at Stewart-Haas.
My focus has always been on winning, a pursuit that began back when I raced Bandoleros as a 13-year-old at the Bullring in Las Vegas. Joining an established team with a winning history is every driver’s dream, and Ive found just that at Stewart-Haas. My goal is to capitalize on this opportunity.
Drew Blickensderfer is set to join Gragson as his crew chief.
