Noah Gragson has five top 20s through the first 12 races in the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season, including a pair of top 10s. His best finish was fourth at Talladega Superspeedway.
On Sunday, the No. 4 driver raced in the All-Star Open, where he finished 17th and failed to advance to the main event. However, that all changed when the results for the fan voting were announced and for a third consecutive year he will race in the All-Star Race propelled by his loyal followers.
After the Open, the 26-year-old Front Row Motorsports driver visited with the FS1 crew and first talked about his on-track performance.
“We ran into power steering issues,” Gragson said. “Hopefully we get that cleaned up for the race. But the car actually feels pretty fast. The last two years I’ve drove the [expletive] out of my car, and now I was like, man, we’re in the top 5 of the fan vote, the car feels good, we’ve got a little bit of power steering issues, but man, you fans, you guys are the GOATs. It truly means the world to have the support from the fans and very grateful to be a part of this race.”
A few moments later, Jamie McMurray asked the driver how he makes his fans so passionate to support him like they have the last three years.

“I just try to be myself at the end of the day and I probably have a bolder personality than most guys, but they don’t really show any personality, you know,” he said. “A lot of these guys in the Cup Series, if not all of them, they’re all really cool guys. I don’t know why they don’t show it.
“But very grateful to have the fan support. At the end of the day I just try to be me. I don’t know when my last day on earth is going to be, but if today is the day, I’m going to have as much fun as possible. I’m going to out-fun everybody.”
