Noah Gragson has been making headlines for being a typical teenage boy. The 19-year-old Kyle Busch Motorsports driver recently gave up on a Twitter conquest to win over the heart of legendary Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn, and then shifted his focus to the daughter of Steve O’Donnell, NASCAR’s Executive Vice President and Chief Racing Development Officer.

Gragson is a character, but his recent social media shenanigans may just show how relaxed he is currently.

It has been a great start to the 2018 season for Ryan Truex and Kaulig Racing. The duo, which came together in the offseason after the team parted ways with longtime driver Blake Koch, sits fourth in the NASCAR Xfinity Series championship standings after Atlanta Motor Speedway.

The 25-year-old driver guided his No. 11 Chevrolet Camaro to two Top-10 finishes (seventh at Daytona, ninth at Atlanta) to start the season, which marks the first time that Kaulig Racing has ever finished inside the Top-10 in two consecutive races.

A year ago, Stewart-Haas Racing went through the daunting task of swapping the manufacturer of their four-car Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series organization from Chevrolet to Ford. It was a move that had the usually potent championship contending team staggering for much of the 2017 season.

The team captured just three victories, and even though Kevin Harvick worked his way into the Championship 4 at Homestead-Miami Speedway, it just felt like a lost season as Furniture Row Racing’s Martin Truex Jr. burned the ground down following his first-career Cup Series title celebration.

Now, in 2018, things have done a total 180-degree turn for the four-car SHR team.
