Switch has been named the primary sponsor for all three spring races with Gragson.
“I’m fortunate and very honored to make my NASCAR Xfinity Series debut for Joe Gibbs Racing at Richmond Raceway. This past year, I’ve continued to demonstrate that I’m a top competitor in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series in the No. 18 Safelite Toyota Tundra for Kyle Busch Motorsports,” quoted driver Noah Gragson. “JGR is known for building fast race cars and I’m excited to get behind the wheel of the No. 18 Switch Toyota Camry and prove to everyone that my skillset is ready for the next level. My plan is to not just make my NXS debut, but to also run up front in each race and make a name for myself.”
2018 marks Gragson’s second full-time season at Kyle Busch Motorsports (KBM) as a part of the NCWTS. Gragson has recorded one win, six top-five finishes and 15 top-10 finishes over 29 races with KBM.
