The #42 Chevy driver clearly showed his super competitive nature on track as he donned a new haircut inspired by a popular movie villain! While the fans were left laughing on the floor, the driver soon revealed an interesting backstory to his win against fellow Cup Series driver, Austin Dillon.
Apparently, Richard Childress Racing driver Austin Dillon had a bet for Gragson. He bet Gragson $100 that he wouldn’t get a bowl cut. Dillon soon found out that Gragson always plays for a win. Donning his new look, Gragson called out Dillon, asking for his rightful $100 bucks.
