Noah Gragson shows off wild side of Talladega with YouTuber Westen Champlin

It’s the offseason in NASCAR, but that doesn’t mean the party stops. Noah Gragson showed fans the wild side of Talladega Superspeedway. Everybody knows that Gragson and Dega go together like peanut butter and jelly, so he was perfect for this job.

If you haven’t been to Talladega, you have to go. It is one of those things in NASCAR that you can’t explain; you have to experience it.

Noah Gragson teamed up with Westen Champlin, automotive YouTuber and redneck scientist. The two went into the heart of Talladega for a behind-the-scenes look like no other. From morning to the day and into the night.

If there was one way to sum up Dega and the infield, it is from Champlin: “This place is unlink any other place I’ve been. Nobody wants your money, they don’t care. They just want to fee you and have a good time. Honestly, this is fun.”

Check out all of the fun for yourself. It is always fun to see genuine first-time reactions to Talladega and the infield.

Noah Gragson is the perfect ambassador for the wild side of NASCAR. Talladega is the biggest, baddest, and wildest track there is. That goes for the racing and the partying.

Clearly, Gragson knows his way around Dega and the Boulevard. There isn’t much you can’t do at Dega. That’s why Gragson considers it his favorite race track and it is truly what separates he sport from all other sports.

Noah Gragson returning to Front Row in 2026

Next season, Noah Gragson is going to return to the No. 4 car for Front Row Motorsports. I think that the FRM trio showed some promise this season. But they didn’t exactly live up to expectations. Late in the year, the results were starting to improve.

Perhaps it is a small preview of what we can expect in the 2026 season. We have to remember that Todd Gilliland, Zane Smith, and Gragson are all very young still. The oldest of the three is Noah and he won’t be 30 until 2028. It is a young core that, if they can meet expectations, can take Front Row to a new level.

If Noah Gragson can just put this last season behind him, I think he can come back better than ever in 2026. When you look at his Xfinity Series results, it is clear that he has the talent to succeed at the highest levels of the sport. It might just take him a little longer to tap into that potential in the Cup Series. A little bit of stability from 2025 to 2026 should help.
