Most signs point to Noah Gragson returning to the xnity Series in his team’s No. 9
Chevrolet. He steered that to an eighth-place nish in his rookie season after nine
top-ve and 22 top-10 showings.

in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East and West Series,
as well as one victory, Most Popular Driver Award, and a
second-place nish in points last year in the GANDER RV &
