What’s Happening?

Noah Gragson’s future is uncertain as Stewart-Haas Racing is downsizing from four Cup Series cars to just one and rebranding to Haas Factory Team. The good thing for Gragson is that he has plenty of options, and with his Bass Pro Shops sponsorship, he could bring some funding.

  • Noah Gragson is in his second season in the NASCAR Cup Series. After an awful first season that ended early due to suspension, Gragson has improved in 2024.
  • With everything going on at SHR, Gragson’s days at the organization appear to be numbered. However, there are plenty of places that he can go.
  • Fans are hopeful that Gragson will find a solid footing in the Cup Series. He is showing his talent, and fans would hate to see it wasted if a race team folds.

Front Row Motorsports

Front Row Motorsports is the best Ford seat available right now in Silly Season. The newest Tier One team in the Ford stable has made the Playoffs two of the last three seasons with Michael McDowell. If Gragson is gone from SHR, this might be an ideal landing spot for him, especially given that they plan to expand to three cars.

It would put Gragson in a Tier One team while maintaining that relationship with Ford. However, this ride has a lot of drivers who could slot in, and that competition could hurt Gragson. His SHR teammates could be in the running.

The Wood Brothers

According to Bob Pockrass, the Wood Brothers are “Unlikely” to retain Harrison Burton. This opens up the seat for any Ford driver who could be dropped from SHR. Gragson could be perfect for that seat, especially given the team’s alliance with Team Penske.

However, it is a step down from a Tier One team, and Gragson has a lot of competition for the ride. Like Front Row Motorsports, his current SHR teammates could end up at this team as well. Would it be the right opportunity for Gragson?

Haas Factory Team

With Gene Haas staying in NASCAR via the rebranded Haas Factory Team, Noah Gragson is an obvious candidate for the ride. However, where could Gragson race? Haas could put Gragson in either Cup or Xfinity, and Gragson likely would prefer to stay in Cup.

It would also be a single-car Cup Series operation. Single-car teams tend to struggle, as no single-car team has won a Championship since Richard Childress Racing in 1994 with Dale Earnhardt.

Rick Ware Racing

Rick Ware Racing is slowly but surely getting better and better as the 2024 season rolls on. They’ve just recorded their first top-10s on a non-superspeedway track with Justin Haley’s 9th-place efforts at Darlington and Gateway. The No. 15 car remains an All-Star Car, so could Gragson slot into that seat full-time?

However, this would be an objective downgrade from SHR. RWR is not a Tier One team, and as of this writing, they still sit 30th and 35th in Owner’s Points. They still have a ways to go to be a race-win contending team.

Richard Childress Racing

Another team that has reported and rumored interest in Gragson is Richard Childress Racing. Jordan Bianchi reported this back in the spring, and Brett Griffin, an RCR spotter, also claimed during a recent episode for “Door, Bumper, Clear” that there could be interest between the two.

This made more sense before the Haas announcement. Without a charter available for RCR to purchase, it’s tough to envision Gragson going here unless Austin Dillon or Kyle Busch unexpectedly move on.

Kaulig Racing

It’s a wild card pick, but one Gragson is familiar with. Kaulig Racing is struggling this year with its’ two cars, 31st and 33rd in Owner’s Points, and their former part-time driver could be on the market. Gragson made 10 starts for the team in 2022 in the Cup Series. Kaulig is also housed on RCR’s campus, which could allow RCR to keep Gragson nearby.

However, a lot is going on at Kaulig right now. No one really knows what they have up their sleeve. However, with the No. 16 only an All-Star Car this season, Kaulig could slot a new driver in.

Where will Noah Gragson race in 2024? The future is uncertain for him and his current race team, SHR.
