When it comes to the 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports lawsuit, don’t ask Noah Gragson for details, he’s just the driver. Gragson is making the move to FRM in 2025 for his third season in the NASCAR Cup Series.

Right now, Noah Gragson, Todd Gilliland, and their unknown third teammate are going to go racing next season. But they don’t know if they will be racing as chartered or open teams.

Matt Weaver of Sportsnaut caught up with Gragson during the lead-up to the Snowball Derby. When asked about the lawsuit, Gragson wouldn’t weigh in one way or another but gave an answer.

“I am so disconnected,” Gragson explained to Weaver. “I’m probably not the guy to ask but I do feel confident we’re going to race. I’m not the most educated guy on what’s going on with the lawsuit and I’m not even just saying that because you’re recording me right now. Like, I have no idea what’s going on and I just do what I’m told.”

Clearly, Noah Gragson is in the racing business, not the legal business. He believes that he is going racing next year and that’s all that matters.

Front Row Motorsports is a team on the rise. As long as they can financially survive through this lawsuit and the prospect of racing three open teams, they should be even better in 2025 than they were in 2024.

Noah Gragson looking for second Snowball Derby win

Back in 2018, Noah Gragson walked away as the Snowball Derby champion. He is hoping to add a second win to his record in the prestigious super late model event. Things are off to a solid start this week, except for one thing – William Sawalich.

On Thursday, the incoming Xfinity Series rookie got on Gragson’s bad side. Sawalich was making a mock qualifying run. Gragson was already on the track on a race run.

“He’s tucked up behind me on a mock run, which doesn’t make any sense,” Gragson said about Sawalich. “Then he picks us up and sends us down in Turn 1. Just, it’s unnecessary, but you just can’t fix stupid.”

It is a long week in Pensacola. Noah Gragson has more or less given William Sawalich a warning at this point. Let’s see if it goes any further after this.
