Noah Gragson shared his thoughts on Luke Littler's performance in the third round of the 2025 World Darts Championship. Gragson took to Instagram to commend the young English darts player.
Gragson is a 26-year-old professional stock car racing driver competing in the NASCAR Cup Series. After a one-year full-time schedule with Stewart-Haas Racing, the Las Vegas native is headed to Front Row Motorsports for next year.
In the meantime, Gragson is enjoying his time away from NASCAR amid the off-season and shared a post on his Instagram stories of him watching the World Darts Championship. His post on Luke Littler's impressive championship fight was captioned:
"Luke the nuke."
Luke Littler beat Ian White 4-1 at Alexandra Palace in the United Kingdom. The 17-year-old English darts player will face Ryan Joyce on December 30 in the fourth round of the 2025 WDC.
Aside from watching sports, Noah Gragson has been making the most out of the NASCAR off-season by catching up with friends and doing outdoor activities.
Notably, the Front Row Motorsports-bound driver entered the 2024 Snowball Derby at Five Flags Speedway. While he aimed to follow up on his 2018 victory, he finished 19th after starting 28th for the 300-lap super late model race.
Kaden Honeycutt won the race followed by Stephen Nasse and Ty Majeski, respectively.
Upon NASCAR's return, Gragson will get behind the wheel of a Ford Mustang Dark Horse, though the racing number has yet to be announced. He will team up with Todd Gilliland and possibly another driver in the third FRM car.
Noah Gragson felt disconnected from new team amid NASCAR off-season
Noah Gragson may now be a part of Front Row Motorsports but still feels disconnected from the team. More specifically, Gragson detached himself from the team's ongoing antitrust lawsuit battle against NASCAR.
In a report by NASCAR insider Matt Weaver, the 26-year-old driver said:
“I am so disconnected."
He continued:
“I’m probably not the guy to ask but I do feel confident we’re going to race. I’m not the most educated guy on what’s going on with the lawsuit and I’m not even just saying that because you’re recording me right now. Like, I have no idea what’s going on and I just do what I’m told.”
Gragson mentioned this during the Snowball Derby race weekend earlier this December.
One of the latest updates on the lawsuit is the court denying NASCAR's motion to delay the transfer of Stewart-Haas Racing charters to the plaintiffs (Front Row Motorsports and 23XI Racing).
As such, Front Row Motorsports should compete with an expanded three-car lineup next year. However, the driver for the third car hasn't been announced, though Zane Smith is a frontrunner to secure the seat.
Meanwhile, 23XI Racing will add Riley Herbst to its driver lineup consisting of Tyler Reddick and Bubba Wallace.
The teams will commence the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season with the Daytona 500 on February 16. It will mark Gragson's third full-time schedule in the premier series.
