Noah Gragson joins Stewart-Haas in NASCAR Cup return
Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) has announced that Noah Gragson will replace Aric Almirola as the driver of the No. 10 Ford Mustang in the NASCAR Cup Series starting in the 2024 season. Gragson, who has been competing in the Xfinity Series and has a strong track record of performance and championship contention, is seen as a valuable addition to the team. Gragson’s rookie season in the Cup Series with Legacy Motor Club didn’t yield high results, and he was later suspended for violating the sport’s code of conduct. However, after completing diversity and inclusion training, he was reinstated by NASCAR. Gragson is excited about the opportunity to race for Stewart-Haas Racing, a team known for its competitive spirit and desire to win races. He will be paired with crew chief Drew Blickensderfer and their debut together will be at the Busch Light Clash in February 2024.
