Noah Gragson Slowest In Practice, Struggles Likely To Continue At Dover
2 years agoNoah Gragson's first full-time season in the Cup Series hasn't been kind to him. Through the first ten races of the year, Gragson has most points than just one driver (Ty Dillon) of those who have competed in all ten races, and has been out-earned by Chase Elliott in points despite Elliott only starting four events. Gragson has an average finish of 26.9 and has finished 29th or worse in six of the ten races this year. Unfortunately, it's likely that those struggles will continue at Dover this weekend. Gragson was the slowest car during practice on Saturday, posting a time of 23.556 seconds, which was almost nine-tenths off of the leader. The starting lineup was set by the metric and Gragson will roll off the grid from 33rd when the Wurth 400 goes green at Dover. It would be very surprising if he cracked the top 20 in this race.
