Noah Gragson and Kevin Magnussen duked it out on the racetrack at Naval Base Coronado on June 21. On Wednesday, Gragson revealed in an interview with SiriusXM NASCAR Radio that he wished to actually duke it out with the previous F1 driver earlier than he was advised in any other case.Â
“You are coming into our ballpark and operating into us,” Gragson mentioned, referring to open-wheel drivers from F1 and IndyCar. “We’re racing for thirtieth. We’re clearly each sh– on the market.”
“I actually, actually, actually wished to go struggle. I used to be about to throw a punch and I bought advised proper earlier than I bought over there that there is gonna be long-term penalties with my job if that was the case. So I needed to actually restrain. It is a no-win state of affairs.”
Gragson’s most notable run-in with one other open-wheel driver got here in a NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Elements Collection race at Highway America in July 2022, when he deliberately wrecked former IndyCar driver Sage Karam, triggering a large crash that led to Gragson being docked 30 factors and fined $35,000.Â
