Noah Gragson is one of the Stewart Haas Racing drivers who has been consistent in the 2024 season and he had stepped up his game in the last few weeks. But he had a momentum breaking crash last Sunday during the rain-shortened Coca-Cola 600, that yield him a P38 finish, ending his seven-race streak of top-20 finishes.

170 laps into the 600 miles race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, coming into turn-3 the No:10 Ford Mustang of Noah Gragson made contact with the No:47 JTGD Racing Chevy of Ricky Stenhouse Jr. He slides across the infield grass and crashed into the inside wall. He hit the wall twice and the damage was enough to ruin his race.

After the race, while talking about the incident, the Ford driver blamed Ricky Stenhouse Jr. for the incident. He pointed out that the Chevy driver, who was involved in a fight with Kyle Busch last week, misjudged his move, made contact with him and it resulted in the unfortunate crash.

Yeah, (Ricky Stenhouse Jr.) just misjudged his run and got us in the left rear, just a miscalculation. It sucks, but the sun will come up tomorrow.
