Noah Gragson Kansas

Noah Gragson ‘sick and tired’ of Ross Chastain after fight at Kansas

I’m sure Noah Gragson expected his fight with Ross Chastain to go his way. Well, it did not, but the NASCAR driver is still upset. No matter which way you slice it, Gragson getting slugged by Chastain on TV with his bowl cut exposed is about the worst outcome.

However, the LEGACY Motor Club driver didn’t seem deterred after the incident. Noah Gragson eventually talked to FOX about what went down on pit road. It was a short shoving match that quickly turned into a right hand from Chastain to Gragson’s melon.

Gragson said his anger stemmed from not just getting spun out at Kansas but also the incident at Talladega. He was also, understandably, upset that security got in the way before he could return the favor.

“I’m just over it. Nobody else has the balls to at least confront him. So, at least just grab him and do something he’s just going to keep doing it. I’m over it. It’s the second time, I have respect for Justin Marks and the rest of the Trackhouse team.”

For all of his frustrations, I’m sure NASCAR is going to talk to Noah Gragson about this. While NASCAR isn’t afraid to market off of controversy and physical confrontation, they like to end it before it gets too out of control.

When you go into the pit expecting a fight, you have to be ready to take a punch. At least Gragson was prepared for that.

Ross Chastain uses Trackhouse policy on Noah Gragson

When you’re a rookie like Noah Gragson, sometimes you feel like you have to prove yourself. But when you’re a new team like Trackhouse Racing, you have to prove yourself in other ways. You can’t get pushed around. Literally. Team rules forbid it.

Chastain explained that his team’s “no-push policy” was explained to him a long time ago. So, when it comes to shoving on pit road, he’s not trying to mess around. That right hand came out quickly and connected cleanly.

While Gragson felt he was standing up for not just himself, but others in the garage, Chastain has to make sure he isn’t made an easy target. Coming away from this, I don’t know if anyone is going to complain about Melon Man anymore.

It does sound like Noah Gragson has a bone to pick with Chastain still. It will be interesting if NASCAR has to step in or not.

Oh and did you know Denny Hamlin won this race?
