Noah Gragson Will Likely Disappoint at Phoenix Despite Being Fast in Qualifying
9 months agoOne name that was a surprise in the second round of qualifying at Phoenix Raceway on Saturday afternoon was Noah Gragson. Fresh off of his sixth-place run at Las Vegas last weekend, Gragson went out and qualified 7th for this weekend's Shriners Children's 500 at Phoenix. It was especially surprising considering Gragson was just 26th-fastest in practice on Friday here at Phoenix. As far as experience at this track, Noah finished 29th in the No. 42 Chevrolet for Legacy Motor Club in this race one year ago, and he finished 1st and 2nd in the two Xfinity races here back during the 2022 season. While there is upside this weekend with Gragson being in a Stewart-Haas Racing Ford, and this track type being the one that they excel at as an organization, a top-20 finish would still be quite a good run for Gragson on Sunday.
