Noah Gragson Unlikely to Be Fast at Bristol but Still Might Be Worth Considering for DFS
Noah Gragson had his only decent run at Bristol in last year's night race when he finished 12th and had an average running position of 14th, but that was when he drove for Stewart Haas Racing, a team which tended to have a lot more short track speed than his new team Front Row Motorsports. Although Michael McDowell had a string of decent runs here, the only other driver who really showed anything for FRM was Chris Buescher in the 2016 night race and the team has only scored a grand total of three top tens here. With Gragson starting 30th and seemingly having regressed significantly from last year, it's hard to imagine him having enough speed to seriously contend, but given his poor starting position and cheap $5,800 salary on DFS, he may be worth considering anyway.
