When Noah Gragson was contending for the Xfinity Series title with JR Motorsports, he was one of the most vibrant personalities in the sport and was looked up to as a potential superstar. But things took a turn for the worse when the youngster’s mistake on social media resulted in him losing his seat at Legacy Motor Club during his rookie Cup season.
Despite coming back into the sport with Stewart Haas Racing and now ready to race for FRM in 2025, Noah Gragson is a shell of what he initially was when it comes to showcasing his personality in public. According to NASCAR legend Mark Martin, he is part of the new generation of racers in the garage who can’t afford to showcase their true selves, owning too many PR responsibilities.
For the most part, you know, and I know you see it, the drivers have pretty much gone silent. mean, even, they don’t say much on social media anyway. It seems to me like, NASCAR media or PR does, you know, you can tell those posts that they post on their [accounts].
Mark Martin said via Chase Holden’s YouTube channel.
But with NASCAR desperately needing racers with strong character, the Hall of Famer has advised Gragson to go back to being himself and not the curated side he is showing at the moment. He believes the sports really need some of the over-the-top interactions with fans only Gragson could do.
They’re advertising when the race is, whatever. I don’t know exactly, Noah Gragson still posts every once in a while. But we need Noah to get back to being himself 100%. The sport needs Noah Gragson, the who leans over the wall and throws up when he wins. We need that.
