then, I’ve thought it would be really cool to
come back and race here. It’s a dream come
true. To be fast and nish in the top three,
it means a lot to me.”
The book on Gragson still has a lot
of empty pages. He won in 2017
at Martinsville and drove to another
victory at Kansas a year ago. He
advanced through the NASCAR Playoffs,
earning a birth in the Championship 4, but
a third-place nish at the season-nale at
the Homestead-Miami Speedway resulted in
a runner-up spot in the nal standings. In 2019,
Gragson made the Playoffs thanks to seven
top-ve nishes and 17 top-10s.
Gragson proved he could be consistent.
He should be a good t at JRM, a team that’s won the last two
xnity Series Championships with William Byron (2017) and Tyler
Reddick (2018). He will join a driving roster that includes full-time
drivers Tyler Reddick, Justin Allgaier and Michael Annett, as well as
Earnhardt and Zane Smith who will make selected appearances.

“He brings the talent, energy and enthusiasm we’re looking
for, and we’re glad to have him on board,” said JRM GM,
Kelley Earnhardt Miller, after the 2018 season. “With Noah’s
addition, JRM has struck a healthy balance of youth and
experience as we plan for the team’s future.”
Gragson got a glimpse of xnity Series racing with three
starts in 2017. And as he’s done with every progression in his
young career, he quickly adjusted with nishes of second (at
Richmond), fourth (at Talladega) and seventh (at Dover).
He’s a budding star.
