Is Noah Gragson Worth Rostering For COTA Lineups This Week?
5 hours agoFront Row Motorsports driver Noah Gragson will start 17th for this week's race at Circuit of the Americas, the Echopark Texas Grand Prix. It will be the second time in his Cup career that Gragson will start inside the top 20 at the Texas road course. In two past starts at COTA, Gragson's best finish is 20th, but he did earn positive place differential in his most recent race at the Texas road course last year. At road course events excluding Chicago since 2022, Gragson has two top-20 finishes and three finishes with positive place differential in six races at the track type. In final practice, Gragson ranked 29th in overall lap averages while ranking 27th in five consecutive lap averages. Despite the slow practice speeds, Gragson is in better equipment than most around his price range ($5,800) and is worth rostering as a driver capable of placing in the top 20.
