It feels like an eternity (seriously, how many weeks of “offseason” can we handle?). Now that Chili Bowl is over, we can’t wait for the season to start. And it’s hopefully going to be a thrilling one, after the kind of ‘silly season’ we have had. Especially eyes would be on the now scattered Stewart Haas Racing drivers. Like Chase Briscoe stepping into some big shoes over at Joe Gibbs Racing, taking over for Martin Truex Jr.

But there’s one driver we’re especially pumped to watch—Noah Gragson. After dominating the Xfinity Series (13 wins in 4 seasons!) and showing some solid results in his rookie Cup Series season, the guy’s got serious potential. And now, he’s got even more momentum with a renewed sponsorship for 2025.

Noah Gragson lands a veteran sponsor

SHR had been struggling for a while now. And for a rookie to rack up 7 top 10s, and 16 top 15s is commendable. He even got a P3 finish at Talladega in the spring race. Thanks to this, Front Row Motorsports picked him up. And also sponsors are showing the belief. Gragson, who was struggling to find some in 2024, has more than enough for the next one.

It was recently announced that Chase Briscoe’s SHR sponsor for the #14 car, Rush Truck Centers, will serve as the primary sponsor for Noah Gragson. If you remember, they were on his #10 SHR car in 2024 as well. And will now continue their partnership on the #4 FRM car, for eight races. Starting with the Daytona 500 and followed by races at Races at COTA, Texas, Kansas, Nashville, Indianapolis, Bristol, and then Talladega.

Now, let’s talk about the car. The red, yellow, and black Rush Truck Centers scheme on Gragson’s #4 at FRM is way better than the gray scheme he had at the Clash. Seriously, that gray car was, well… forgettable. Rush Truck Centers has been in NASCAR for 16 years, and while their past paint jobs haven’t always been standouts, this one’s got some serious potential. They’re clearly optimistic about this new partnership with FRM, and so is Gragson.

W.M. Rush, Chairman of Rush Enterprises, shared his excitement about the company’s ongoing involvement in NASCAR: “Rush Truck Centers is proud to continue our active involvement in NASCAR with this move to FRM as the primary sponsor of Noah Gragson and the No. 4 team.”

He also touched on how racing has been a key part of Rush Enterprises’ identity since 2010. “We have a passion for winning in business and on the track. We see that same passion in Noah and the entire FRM team, so we are excited to be part of the storied history of the No. 4 car as we begin this new chapter in our NASCAR story,” Rush added.

For Rusty, this partnership marks a big step in Rush Enterprises’ long-term commitment to NASCAR, reinforcing their dedication to success both on and off the track. And Noah Gragson couldn’t be more thrilled about it. Hopefully, the team will have some strong runs, especially on the Superspeedways!

Noah Gragson really enjoys representing Rush Truck Centers, both on and off the track. He talks about how Rusty and the whole Rush Truck Centers team create such a welcoming, family-like atmosphere. For Noah, race days aren’t just about racing—they’re about having fun, meeting new people, and reconnecting with old friends.

In his statement he said, “We’re thrilled to have Rush Truck Centers support us at eight races this year, continuing the incredible partnership we built last season. I’m super excited to see what we can achieve together in 2025.”

It’d be a perfect way to honor them if Gragson could put together another strong Daytona 500 performance, like he did in 2024 when he finished 9th—or even better. He’s been really solid on Superspeedways in the Cup Series, like when he snagged a 5th-place finish at the Coke Zero Sugar 400 in 2024. So, we definitely think he could be in the mix for a win at Daytona in 2025. Plus, he picked up two top-15s at Darlington last year, which shows he’s got the chops.

But it’s not just Superspeedways where Gragson shines—he’s been pretty consistent across all types of tracks. His best average finish is actually on intermediates, like at Las Vegas, where he’s got an average finish of 16.3. He’s also running an 18.4 at Kansas, so you can’t really count him out there, either.
