The 2025 NASCAR Cup silly season faces massive uncertainties on where will each driver would end up, following Stewart Haas Racing’s announcement that they cease operations of the Cup team at the end of the season. This has brought three impressive drivers in Chase Briscoe, Noah Gragson and Josh Berry in the driver market for next-season.
While Briscoe, who is the most experienced and accomplished of the three might most probably land a seat if a Ford team, the other to have a lot of options. One of the recent rumor suggest that No:10 Ford driver Noah Gragson might have a shot at replacing Autin Dillon in the No:3 Chevy of Richard Childress Racing.
NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr. addressed these rumors about his former Xfinity Series driver and pointed out that it isn’t going to happen. He pointed out that the rumors are farfetched, and he doesn’t think, Dillon who is former Xfinity Series champion, would retire anytime soon.
I've heard rumors that Noah could be going to the #3. I don't believe those rumors that's really kinda far-fetched. Even though i don't think Austin retiring and setting into a managing role at RCR.Dale Earnhardt Jr. said via Dale Earnhardt Jr. Download.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. sees Austin Dillon becoming RCR president
The Hall of Famer went on to point out that he expects one day to see Dillon taking over the mantle of RCR president from his grandfather Richard Childress. But it will come in the future, as right now everyone at RCR is focussed on making the No:3 car and driver better.
I hope that Austin would one day be president and running RCR but I don't know that time has come for him to make that choice. They are making some changes on his own team to try to make him better. He had a great run this past week. So maybe he still believes that there's something left in the tank.Dale Earnhardt Jr. said.
RCR might not an option for Noah Gragson in the immediate future as even if the team has to replace Dillon, they have Xfinity Series driver Austin Hill and Jesse Love waiting to take the season. It would be interesting to see where Gragson will end up next year.
