Noah Gragson will fill the Stewart-Haas Racing No. 10 car seat being vacated by Aric Almirola in 2024.
The multiyear contract marks Gragson’s return to the series following a suspension this year.
Gragson was driving for Legacy Motor Club when he suspended in August for liking a social media meme making light of the death of George Floyd.
Gragson left the team shortly after the suspension, but was reinstated to active status by NASCAR in September following the completion of a sensitivity training course.
“It has brought a tremendous amount of self-awareness to myself, self-reflection, and ultimately it opened my eyes to the world and showed me I was a pretty selfish guy,†Gragson told the Associated Press.
“I’ve learned to pay more attention, be more present, enjoy the people I’m with. This has really been a rude awakening of all the work I needed to do on myself.â€
Gragson has second place finishes in the season sandings in both the Truck Series and Xfinity Series, but only one top 10 race finish in 39 Cup Series starts.
