NASCAR Fans Find Noah Gragson’s Statement on Rick Hendrick “Really Shocking”

It is well known that Rick Hendrick, who is the owner of Hendrick Motorsports, also happens to be the co-founder of Dale Earnhardt Jr’s NASCAR Xfinity Series Team; JR Motorsports. However, recently NASCAR fans were left puzzled at the revelation of Xfinity Series driver Noah Gragson.

A NASCAR journalist stated, “@NoahGragson says he has never met Rick Hendrick, co-owner of @JRMotorsports. He says he looks up to “Mr. Hendrick and would love to meet him one day.”

NASCAR fans react to Noah Gragson never getting the chance to meet his boss

Fans could not believe that the JR Motorsport driver was yet to meet his boss, even after racing with them for so long.

Fans speculated that he perhaps was unlucky since Hendrick was known to arrive only for the Cup Series races rather than the Xfinity events.

We hope that Gragson gets to meet Rick Hendrick very soon since he is off to the Cup Series for the upcoming season. Gragson has shown some stellar performances during his Xfinity career with JR Motorsports. One can only hope that he displays the same level of race craft as he moves into the top field of NASCAR to race with the big boys. He will be driving the #42 car at the Petty GMS team, replacing Ty Dillon from the 2023 season onwards.

After the news broke, Noah Gragson stated, “It’s a family atmosphere, great people, great leaders, and for a 24-year-old guy, for them to take the opportunity and want to hire me, it is truly humbling.”

We look forward to Gragson’s career next year racing for Richard Petty’s team.
