Stewart-Haas Racing finalizes spotter lineup for 2024

Stewart-Haas Racing Spotter Lineup for 2024:

• No. 4 Josh Berry — Eddie D’Hondt
• No. 10 Noah Gragson — Andy Houston
• No. 14 Chase Briscoe — Joe Campbell
• No. 41 Ryan Preece — Tony Raines

While D’Hondt’s past is well documented, there’s also some interesting notes for the rest of Stewart-Haas Racing’s spotting team.

Houston moves over to the No. 10 with Gragson after being with Preece last season, and Raines — spotted for Brett Moffitt in Xfinity last season and for Zane Smith in select Cup races — will replace him with the No. 41 team.

Alas, continuity is key for the No. 14 team featuring Briscoe, as he and Campbell will work together once again, as Briscoe becomes the elder-statesmen of the organization’s wheelmen.

We’ll see how it all works out for Stewart-Haas Racing, but it’s evident there’s a bunch of moving parts, and the team is looking for more success in 2024.

Moreover, the aforementioned Noah Gragson is readying to ill drive the No. 10 Ford full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series in 2024. 

Gragson, 25, replaces Aric Almirola, who spent the last six seasons with Stewart-Haas Racing. He signed a multiyear deal with the team. Stewart-Haas Racing has not yet announced a sponsorship deal. 

“Noah deserves to be in the NASCAR Cup Series and we’re very happy to have him as the driver of our No. 10 Ford Mustang,” Stewart-Haas Racing co-owner Tony Stewart said in a statement. “Noah has performed at every level where he’s competed and has regularly been in championship contention.

“That’s the kind of driver we need at Stewart-Haas and that’s why Noah is a part of our team.”

Gragson’s first full-time season in the Cup Series was cut short last season after NASCAR indefinitely suspended him on Aug. 5. The sanctioning body suspended him for violating the member conduct section of the NASCAR Rule Book after he liked a racially insensitive post on Instagram. Five days later, Gragson mutually parted ways with Legacy Motor Club.

NASCAR lifted the indefinite suspension of Gragson on Sept. 12, clearing him to return to all NASCAR activity.

Prior to the suspension, Gragson competed in 21 races behind the wheel of the No. 42 Chevrolet, failing to record a top-10 finish. He finished a season-best 12th in the Ambetter Health 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway on March 19.
