Front Row Motorsports: North Wilkesboro Speedway Race Report – Noah Gragson, Todd Gilliland, Zane Smith – Speedway Digest

Noah Gragson Key Takeaways

• Noah Gragson competed in his third NASCAR All-Star Race this past Sunday. After qualifying third for the All-Star Open race, Gragson finished 17th after losing power steering in the race. Gragson and the team’s chance for a million dollars was saved by the fans. For the third straight year, Gragson won the All-Star Fan Vote making him eligible for the main race. Locked into the All-Star race, Gragson started from the 23rd position. Gragson raced hard for 250 laps to finish the race in the 13th position.

• “I’m just so grateful to be a part of this All-Star Race,” said Gragson. “We really struggled in practice, but we qualified well and our pit crew threw down the third-fastest time out of the whole field — they crushed it. We lost power steering during the Open, but thankfully the fans had our back. Being voted in as the fan favorite for the third year in a row — that means everything. You guys are the GOATs, seriously. We started the All-Star Race 23rd and drove up to finish 13th. It’s such an awesome atmosphere and I’m beyond thankful for all the support.”

Zane Smith Key Takeaways

• “It’s unfortunate that we didn’t make the main event, but I still had a fun time in Wilkesboro,” said Smith. “The fans really make this place special, and they really bring the track to life. Hopefully, I can lock this 38 team into the race next year.”

Todd Gilliland Key Takeaways
