Gragson's NASCAR Comeback: From Suspension to Success in 2024
Noah Gragson has completed a successful comeback season in the NASCAR Cup Series, finishing 24th in the championship standings with Stewart-Haas Racing. His performance included seven top-10 finishes and an average finish of 21.6.
"The goal was to just get back on the map," Gragson reflected on his 2024 season. After being suspended in 2023, Stewart-Haas Racing provided him a second chance, which he maximized with strong early-season performance, including five top-10 finishes in the first 12 races.

His successful return led to securing a 2025 deal with Front Row Motorsports, who will expand to three cars next season. The specifics of his car number, crew chief, and partners are yet to be announced.
Gragson acknowledges his growth since last year's challenges: "I've seen improvement personally. There is still a long way to go, but I want to keep growing." He finished as the second-highest Stewart-Haas driver in the standings, behind only Chase Briscoe.
Looking ahead, Gragson values the experiences gained during his comeback: "From being at the highest of highs in Xfinity to the lowest of lows in my rookie season in Cup, and not even finishing that out. But then to get a second opportunity to come back, and really just appreciate the little things."
Front Row Motorsports sees Gragson as a marketable, talented driver who can bring positive energy to their team, marking a new chapter in his NASCAR career.
