Noah Gragson Will Start 17th At Richmond
8 months agoAfter finishing 27th in practice speed (118.105 mph), Noah Gragson improved by over three miles per hour during qualifying, enough to earn him the 17th starting position for the Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond Raceway. After starting the season with two top-10 finishes in the first three races, Gragson has hit a rough patch, finishing 34th over the last two weeks. Given that this weekend's race will be in the same aerodynamic package that the previous three races have used, there is reason to be concerned about the No. 10 heading into Sunday. What is of further concern is that in his six races on short tracks in the Cup Series, the 25-year-old is averaging 3.91 DraftKings points, which is the second-lowest of any driver on the slate. Despite his improved speed during qualifying and despite having an Xfinity win at this track (2021), you should treat Noah Gragson as nothing more than a dart throw this weekend at Richmond.
