Noah Gragson needs to get better finishes

During the discussion, Kraft got into a conversation about Noah Gragson driving the No. 42 Chevrolet Camaro for Legacy Motor Club. In his opinion, Gragson has taken a giant step forward and made big changes to combat different teams.

He sees No. 42 in the top ten but feels Gragson needs to level up to make it to the end of the race in the Cup Series this year. Appreciating the Legacy MC driver for his performance last year, he also pointed out his mistakes on the tracks like getting into the fence or on the pit road leading to damage.

He said, “So you know to get those top tens you know how hard it is like you’ve got to be flawless all day long because you’re beating 20 of the best teams out there to get that top ten. So Noah’s got it like on the driver’s side of those things.”

Driving the No. 48 Chevrolet Camaro for Hendrick Motorsports, Bowman will also need to up his game. But Kraft still thinks that Bowman can look forward to a big season for himself.

Unsure of Bowman’s contract, he said, “Alex definitely has to step it up I think this is you know potentially I’m not sure what his contract details are this could be a contract here for him I think so if he’s trying to get resigned and stay in that 48 car he’s got to have a big year.”
