Noah Gragson Maintains Steady Pace Amid Car Challenges
Noah Gragson secured 18th in Stage One, fell to 22nd in Stage Two, and finished the Kansas race in 23rd place. Gragson and his team faced ongoing issues with right rear grip throughout practice and the race itself, but improvements were seen during qualifying with a promising 14th-place start. His pit crew demonstrated quick work, contributing to the team’s persistent effort all day long.
“We fought right rear grip all through practice, but the changes we made really showed in qualifying with a 14th-place effort,”
said Gragson.
“During the race, we battled that same issue again but were able to get it corrected before the car started to get a little loose. My pit crew did an awesome job getting me off pit road, and I’m proud of the entire team for working to make the car better all day long.”

Zane Smith’s Eventful Day Mirrors Team Grit

An incident left Smith unable to finish, placing him 31st at the checkered flag. Despite the setback, Smith and the Front Row Motorsports team remained optimistic, eager to improve at the next event.
“It was a wild ride, for sure,”
said Smith.
“It was shaping up to be a top-10 day for us until I got put upside down. Front Row brought a fast Speedy Cash Ford and while we don’t have the result to show for it, I’m excited to rebound at the Roval.”
