Brothers Kyle and Kurt Busch of Las Vegas discuss opening the NASCAR playoffs on their home track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway during playoffs media day at the South Point Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Sept. 13, 2018. (Ron Kantowski/Las Vegas Review-Journal).
Las Vegas racer Noah Gragson predicted he was in for a “rude awakening” in his NASCAR Xfinity Series debut. Instead, he finished second at Richmond Raceway in Virginia. Gragson normally drives for fellow Las Vegan Kyle Busch in the NASCAR Truck Series. The race at Richmond was one of three in which he will compete for former Super Bowl coach Joe Gibbs. The second one is this weekend at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama, a restrictor-plate track at which Gragson has little experience. “Talladega, that one might come back in a ball or something. Man, I’m not too good of a restrictor-plate racer just because I don’t have a lot of experience.”
