Noah Gragson Aims Higher in Thrilling Bristol Night Race Challenge

Noah Gragson is gearing up for the upcoming NASCAR Cup Series event at Bristol Motor Speedway, known for its intense 500-lap nighttime race. This half-mile track in Tennessee holds a special place in Gragson’s career, where he has previously secured two wins and multiple top-ten finishes in the Xfinity Series, while aiming to improve on his best 12th-place Cup finish from last fall.

Support from Rush Truck Centers Continues to Fuel Gragson’s Campaign

Rush Truck Centers will again back Gragson and his No. 4 team throughout the Bristol race weekend. As a leading provider for commercial vehicle services, Rush Truck Centers operates over 150 dealerships across the United States and Canada, reflecting a strong partnership that supports Gragson’s competitive efforts in this challenging race.

Reflecting on Past Races and Nighttime Atmosphere at Bristol

Gragson highlighted the unique energy that the Bristol night race delivers compared to earlier events at the same venue. He noted the difficulties faced during the spring race due to warmer conditions affecting the track, but expressed enthusiasm for the upcoming race under the lights, where fan excitement and atmosphere elevate the competition.

“The spring race at Bristol was a challenge with how much the warmer weather changed the track, but the Night Race is a whole different story,” said Gragson. “Under the lights, the place just comes alive—the atmosphere and the fans give you an energy you don’t get anywhere else. We had a solid run here last year, finishing 12th, and I’m excited to get back and see if we can take it up a notch this time around.”
