“I think it’s really cool what NASCAR Xfinity does for the sport”: Noah Gragson
Before the Bristol race, Noah Gragson said, “I really like the Dash 4 Cash program. I think it’s really cool what Xfinity does for the sport.”
He added, “In 2018 I ran three races for Joe Gibbs Racing. And I was part of three of those Dash 4 Cash races at Richmond, Talladega and Dover. It felt like a different energy, a different atmosphere. It’s like everybody was racing that much harder. It was a lot of fun.”
