It was recently announced that Mike Rockenfeller will be filling in for Noah Gragson in the upcoming NASCAR Cup Series races. This news came after Gragson was suspended for violating NASCAR’s substance abuse policy.
Rockenfeller is a veteran driver in the sport, having competed in the NASCAR Cup Series since 2004. He has also competed in the Xfinity Series since 2002, and has won several races in both series. He is currently driving for Richard Childress Racing in the Xfinity Series, and has been with the team since 2018.
Rockenfeller is no stranger to filling in for other drivers, having done so in the past for Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Tony Stewart. He is also no stranger to success, having won the Daytona 500 in 2013 and the Xfinity Series championship in 2019.
Rockenfeller is looking forward to the challenge of filling in for Gragson, and is confident that he can perform well in the upcoming races. He has stated that he is “excited to get back behind the wheel of a Cup car and to compete against some of the best drivers in the world.”
It will be interesting to see how Rockenfeller performs in the upcoming races, and if he can help Gragson’s team stay competitive in the standings. It is also a great opportunity for Rockenfeller to prove himself as a capable driver in the Cup Series.
No matter what happens, it is clear that Rockenfeller is up for the challenge of filling in for Gragson, and that he is ready to show what he can do on the track.
