Noah Gragson cleared to return at Nashville UPDATE

UPDATE: Noah Gragson felt as good as ever in his Friday return to his Legacy Motor Club Chevrolet at Nashville Superspeedway.

“I feel mentally sharp, as good as I felt before we wrecked,” Gragson said. “The main thing was to feel we’re 100 percent, and even when I felt 50 percent, I was like, ‘Man, I feel 100.’ Then a few days later, I got to 100, and it was really 95 percent.

The symptoms began to appear Tuesday after the St. Louis race. When they continued and worsened into Wednesday, Gragson acknowledged he needed to seek medical attention and was glad to have the time to rest and get back where needed.
