Noah Gragson Likely Running Too Anonymously to Contend at Atlanta
1 month agoNoah Gragson has had a fairly anonymous season as his teammates Josh Berry and Chase Briscoe have outperformed him throughout the season, but Gragson has been most successful on the superspeedways as his best run of the season came in the spring Talladega race, where he finished third and posted the best driver rating in the race and his only other top five came at Daytona. At Atlanta, he has been less successful as he has only finished better than 33rd once (a 12th in the 2023 winter event) and has never led, but he seems to have significantly benefited from Ford having greater speed on these tracks, as evidenced by his 13th-place qualifying run being his best ever there. He seems to be fairly checked out since his switch to Front Row Motorsports was announced, so he probably won't repeat his Talladega run.
