The 2024 NASCAR season marked the return of Noah Gragson to the Cup series, after a disastrous end to his rookie season with Legacy Motor Club. He was suspended and later quit from the team over controversial social media actions, that involved racially insensitive content. His career was almost over before SHR gave him a second chance.

Tony Stewart and Stewart Haas Racing decided gave him an opportunity to get his career back in the No:10 Ford. Though the season wasn’t grand for the youngster, he performed on a level enough to land a seat for the 2025 season. He signed with Front Row Motorsports to drive their third car for next-year and Gragson is crediting his bounce back to Tony Stewart.

I’m very grateful for Tony [Stewart] and Greg Zipadelli and everybody who has given me this opportunity over at Stewart-Haas. It’s a bummer what everyone is going through but for myself personally, I’m not content and I’m not satisfied with (what we’ve accomplished). But I’m confident to say I feel like I have somewhat earned an opportunity to race on Sundays.

I still ride the waves of the highs are good and the lows are low and get frustrated like anybody. But to be able to have a bad run the prior week and bounce back the next week and put yourself back on the map. Last year … I don’t think we had a good run. Not one. It wasn’t fun. I’m having more fun.
