LAS VEGAS (AP) NASCAR has a new villain and he doesn t really care what anyone thinks about him.
Noah Gragson is the starring figure in the latest uproar that is typical NASCAR. He crashed while leading last weekend s race and ran his mouth afterward. How it was received depends on how you feel about Gragson.
He can be viewed as a refreshing young Xfinity Series driver unafraid to show his personality in a sport stuffed with straight-laced corporate promoters. Some instead see him as an entitled 22-year-old from a wealthy family who is undeserving of the attention and maybe even his ride.

This past weekend’s racing at Homestead-Miami Speedway was highly praised by fans, media members and racers alike. The racing was solid on both Saturday and Sunday. We saw comers and goers. We saw epic battles for the lead and the weekend sure had its share of drama.
Tire strategy and tire management were keys in both races, and when it was all said and done, a 1.5 mile track was looked at as one of the best tracks on the current NASCAR schedule. For 18 years, NASCAR ended its season at Homestead-Miami Speedway and for 16 of those years, the final race of NASCAR’s playoffs occurred at the facility.
