Jones, Gragson Headline ASA STARS Visit To N. Wilkesboro

NORTH WILKESBORO, N.C. — LEGACY MOTOR CLUB teammates Erik Jones and Noah Gragson headline a strong early entry list for the ASA STARS National Tour ECMD 150 at North Wilkesboro Speedway, set for Tuesday, May 16.

Both Jones and Gragson drive full time in the NASCAR Cup Series.   

Jones has three career Cup Series victories to his credit. He was also the 2015 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series champion and 2017 NASCAR Cup Series Rookie of the Year.

This year’s NASCAR Cup Series Rookie of the Year contender Noah Gragson won eight races in the NASCAR Xfinity Series last season and finished second in series points. His best finish in the Cup Series is a fifth-place effort at Daytona International Speedway last August for Beard Motorsports.

NASCAR Xfinity Series driver Sammy Smith is entered after winning last year’s super late model race at North Wilkesboro, then-sanctioned by the Southern Super Series and the Champion Racing Association (CRA). He won his first-career Xfinity race at Phoenix earlier this year driving for Joe Gibbs Racing.

Joining the NASCAR Cup Series stars and last year’s Wilkesboro race winner are a trio of NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series drivers, Ty Majeski, Carson Hoecevar and Grant Enfinger.

In addition, super late model megastars Derek Thorn, Derek Griffith, Bubba Pollard and Stephen Nasse, as well as past super late model touring series’ champions Hunter Robbins, Cole Butcher, Kodie Conner and Matt Craig.
