Noah Gragson has been reinstated by NASCAR.
in early August after he liked an Instagram meme mocking the 2020 death of George Floyd. He was reinstated on Tuesday after NASCAR said he had completed the diversity and inclusion training required for the suspension to be lifted."Over the past several weeks, I have dedicated myself to personal growth and reflection, and I believe I have become a better person because of it. I couldn't have done it without the support of my family and the NASCAR industry.
At the time of his suspension, Gragson said he was"disappointed in myself for my lack of attention and actions on social media."Gragson is eligible to race in any NASCAR series now that he’s been reinstated, though he would need to find a team willing to hire him. Through 21 races in 2023, Gragson had an average finish of 28th and didn’t have any top 10 finishes. Legacy has already announced that John Hunter Nemechek will drive the No.
Gragson moved to Legacy Motor Club and the Cup Series in 2023 after four full seasons in NASCAR’s second-tier Xfinity Series for Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s JR Motorsports. He won 13 races in 135 starts in the Xfinity Series and finished second in the points standings in 2022 with eight wins and 26 top-10 finishes in 33 starts.
