Noah Gragson has once again captured the attention of NASCAR fans, winning his third consecutive All-Star Fan Vote and earning a place in the highly anticipated main event at North Wilkesboro Speedway on Sunday night. The victory not only reinforces his popularity among fans but also grants him an opportunity to compete for the coveted $1 million prize in one of NASCAR’s most exciting showcases.
Joining Carson Hocevar and John Hunter Nemechek, who finished first and second in the All-Star Open, Noah Gragson completes the list of drivers set to battle under the lights in North Carolina. This latest accomplishment builds on his previous fan vote victories in 2023 and 2024, with Gragson finishing 23rd and 11th in those years, respectively.

Noah Gragson expressed his gratitude and excitement following the announcement, stating,
“It means a lot. Really grateful to have all the support from the fans, and feel like we’ve got a pretty good race car. We struggled with … I lost power steering there in the Open race, so we’re going to try and get that better for the All-Star Race. But it’s just such a cool atmosphere here. It’s such a cool experience, and very lucky to be able to be a part of it.”
The All-Star Race Fan Vote has been a valued tradition since 2004, its winners representing a cross-section of the sport’s most magnetic personalities, from Ken Schrader and Kyle Petty to Dale Earnhardt Jr. For Noah Gragson, this latest fan-driven victory highlights his growing connection with NASCAR audiences and sets the stage for what could be a defining moment in his career.
