Noah Quinn Gragson (born July 15, 1998) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He currently competes full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series, driving the No. 4 Ford Mustang Dark Horse for Front Row Motorsports. Gragson is recognized for his aggressive driving style and impressive rise through the ranks, marked by multiple victories and strong performances across NASCAR’s national series.

Early Life and Background

Gragson grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada, developing an interest in racing at the age of 13. He began his motorsports journey in Bandolero cars and Legends car series before advancing to regional competition in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West. Racing for Jefferson Pitts Racing, he earned five wins and 24 top tens, including a noted victory at Tucson Speedway in 2015. These accomplishments paved the way for Gragson’s progression into NASCAR’s national series, establishing him as a promising young driver.

Career

Gragson made his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series full-time debut in 2017 with Kyle Busch Motorsports, winning his first race at Martinsville Speedway that year and finishing tenth in points. Continuing with KBM in 2018, he secured a second Truck Series victory at Kansas Speedway and was runner-up in the points standings.

He debuted in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2018 with Joe Gibbs Racing part-time, then joined JR Motorsports full-time in 2019, driving the No. 9 Chevrolet. His rookie year was solid, collecting seven top-five and 17 top-ten finishes. Gragson won his first Xfinity race in 2020 at Daytona and earned multiple wins at Bristol and Darlington. He was a Championship 4 contender in 2021, finishing third in points. The 2022 season marked a breakout year with a series-high eight wins, four of which were consecutive—tying a series record—and finishing as runner-up in the final standings.

In 2023, Gragson moved full-time to the NASCAR Cup Series with Legacy Motor Club, driving the No. 42 Chevrolet Camaro. Despite being early in his Cup career, he recorded notable top-ten finishes, including at Talladega Superspeedway. However, mid-2023 controversies led to a brief suspension which was later lifted after he completed NASCAR-mandated training.

In December 2023, he signed a multi-year deal with Stewart-Haas Racing to drive the No. 10 Ford Mustang starting in the 2024 season. Gragson made a strong start with a ninth-place finish at the 2024 Daytona 500 and a career-best third-place at Talladega. In May 2024, Stewart-Haas Racing announced it would close its NASCAR operations by the end of the year. Subsequently, in July 2024, Gragson signed a multi-year contract to drive the No. 4 Ford for Front Row Motorsports beginning in 2025.

Personal Life

Recent Controversies
