Saucy 2-Word Response Sets Dale Earnhardt Jr’s NASCAR Team on Path to Glory After Narrowly Missing Out on Championship

JR Motorsports had an incredible run in the 2022 season, especially Noah Gragson, who took the #9 to Phoenix. Unfortunately, though, Ty Gibbs took the Championship from the JRM car at the very end. However, Dale Earnhardt Jr plans on changing that in 2023.

Because the team just predicted themselves as the next champion before the season even started.

After his final year in the Xfinity Series, Gragson took his big promotion to the Cup Series to drive the #43 car. But JRM found the perfect man in Brandon Jones to fill the void left by the guy who dominated in 2022. And it seems like Jones is the perfect weapon Dale Jr. needs to take back the win they lost to Ty Gibbs last year.

In a recent Twitter post by NASCAR, they asked fans for their early predictions for the Xfinity Series Champions. And JR Motorsports were very swift to respond to that tweet with a GIF (Not JIF) to declare themselves as the early champs.

It sure seems like Dale Jr. and his sister Kelley’s team is up and ready for redemption. Fortunately, three-fourths of their team remains intact and prepared to tackle the next season. Moreover, they are getting a fairly experienced driver in Brandon Jones who already brings his racing style from Joe Gibbs Racing.

But Noah Gragson is heading on to tackle the challenges of the top class of NASCAR.

The one word Noah Gragson used to describe himself after leaving Dale Earnhardt Jr.

With his big new promotion to the Cup Series, the fans have their eyes on Gragson, because he has a lot to prove. And he brings a lot of experience winning races and competing. Luckily, the JRM star is entering Petty GMS with Jimmie Johnson as the team’s latest addition, taking a part-owner role.

But when Noah joined the Cup Series, he wanted to introduce himself to all the fans.

In an interview with NBC, Gragson said, “If I could describe myself in one word, it would be very shy, and not talkative.” Knowing Gragson, though, what he further added shouldn’t come as a surprise as he continued, “Naah, I’m just f**king with ya!”
