NASCAR Rumor: Insider Shutting Down Tony Stewart’s Star’s Cup Series Hopes Could Open a Spot at FRM for Noah Gragson

Everyone’s struggles in NASCAR are unique, but for the members of SHR, their challenges and journeys have been quite similar as of late. Confusion, shock, and a harsh reality check have been a shared experience for them all. Tony Stewart and Stewart Haas Racing disbanding the team drivers, charters, and other members wasn’t just breaking news to NASCAR fans but to the SHR drivers too. They went from having a seat to not having one in one night!

Right now, each of them shares a common goal—a new seat. And while some have their cushions, some have signed on a new team, and Noah Gragson still doesn’t have a seat next season. But as per rumors, Gragson’s reality is soon going to change.

Is Noah Gragson’s potential move to Front Row Motorsports already going from rumors to reality?

Noah Gragson doesn’t have a confirmed seat right now, but his name has been floating around as a potential top contender for multiple teams. At one point, there was buzz that Tony Stewart’s driver might replace Martin Truex Jr at Joe Gibbs Racing, especially since he’s got connections with sponsor Bass Pro Shops. But that didn’t pan out.

Instead, Chase Briscoe ended up taking that spot, thanks to a tip from Christopher Bell. Maybe it was C. Bell who put in a good word for his buddy—who knows?

Noah Gragson’s and Ty Gibbs’s histories made this rumor too staunch to come true. As for the new Haas Factory team, Cole Custer is in top contention for the seat. The reigning Xfinity champion has personal ties as his father, Joe Custer, is going to be the president of the team for Gene Haas. Gragson was also rumored to join Richard Childress Racing, but Dillon is probably still going to race, leaving no seat behind. However, there’s promising news on the horizon.

Front Row Motorsports has just acquired a new charter, creating an opening that could be the perfect fit for Tony Stewart’s No. 10 Ford Mustang driver, and since Chase Briscoe is no longer in contention, Gragson could be a superb choice. He brings with him the talent and the funding that he has with Bass Pro Shops.

In fact, even Bob Pockrass thinks so; he said, “FRM likely will need drivers with some sponsorship. Gragson is a favorite to land one of the open FRM rides.” But, earlier, it was rumored that Herbst might be the one taking on the seat at FRM, but NASCAR reporter Chris Knight just reignited hope for Gragson fans!

Through his Twitter handle, Chris Knight confirmed that there was little chance of Riley Herbst joining Front Row Motorsports. Now this just opens the door for Noah Gragson to sit in the seat. His tweet circulated on Reddit, where fans have already started a debate regarding who really can take on that coveted seat at Front Row. And most think that Noah Gragson has a fair chance of joining the team.

One fan very confidently said, “Gragson is expected to sign with them. Then the other favorites are Berry, Eckes, and Mayer.” With FRM having two seats available and McDowell set to leave for Spire, it looks like Gragson has a great opportunity to make his mark.

FRM was not always where Gragson was rumored to go. With his strong connection to sponsor Bass Pro Shops’s owner, Johnny Morris, who has a close relationship with RCR owner Richard Childress, that team, according to most, was where he’d end up. A user in disbelief said, “Really? I thought Gragson was headed to RCR?”

Another NASCAR fan then went on to give him the bigger picture as to why Gragson joining RCR seems unlikely. He said, “It’s not looking like it now. Apparently, they have backed out on buying a charter, and Dillon is highly likely going to be back next year. I see this as a good thing, tho because, unlike RCR, FRM is definitely trying to improve their team, and I would hate to see Gragson’s talent get wasted at RCR.” 

Moreover, RCR is also probably not purchasing another charter since SHR has retained a charter for the new team that Gene Haas has made. Highlighting that, one fan said, “Honestly just feels like process of elimination. RCR is probably not going to acquire a charter with Haas keeping one, but on the other hand, Custer is no longer in the mix for a FRM opening. There should be 3 solid Ford rides available between the 21 and the two FRM seats; you have to figure Berry and Gragson will fill two of those, right?”

Right now, Front Row seems like a great place to go to for Gragson. And who knows? He might just have Berry tag along with him on the new team. One fan is actually all for it, and he said, “Berry, Gragson, Gilliland is a solid lineup.”

Well, only time can tell what will happen. What do you think? Let us know where you think Gragson will end up.
