UPDATE: Noah Gragson, originally scheduled to drive the No. 16 Pardon My Cheesesteak Chevrolet Camaro at Martinsville Speedway, has been named the interim driver of Alex Bowman’s No. 48 in the same race.
At this time, there is no word if the sponsorship will remain with Kaulig Racing for the Xfinity 500.
Pardon My Cheesesteak (PMC), a nationwide virtual sandwich shop created as a collaboration between Virtual Dining Concepts and Barstool Sports’ Pardon My Take podcast, is set to break onto the NASCAR scene later this month.
The company, which provides an assortment of cheesesteak options, with a choice of five sandwiches, which can be accompanied by two types of fries, and Brownie Bites, will adorn the No. 16 Kaulig Racing Chevrolet Camaro in the NASCAR Cup Series event at Martinsville Speedway on October 30.
Noah Gragson, a part-time competitor at NASCAR’s top level for Kaulig Racing, will pilot the No. 16 at the half-mile paperclip, the culmination of a month-long promotion between PMC and the Las Vegas, Nevada native.
“I’m looking forward to working with Pardon My Cheesesteak and their team this month,” Gragson said. “Partnering with PMC is a great opportunity for the Kaulig Racing team and me to engage with NASCAR fans.”
Prior to Sunday at Las Vegas, Gragson had competed in 15 NASCAR Cup Series events this season, for three different organizations – Beard Motorsports, Kaulig Racing, and Hendrick Motorsports – earning a career-best of fifth-place.
Alongside his part-time duties at NASCAR’s top level, Gragson also competes full-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series for JR Motorsports, where he’s accumulated a series-high seven victories this season.
As part of the partnership between Gragson and PMC, fans will have an opportunity to attend the race at Martinsville Speedway, which includes a meet and greet with Gragson on October 30. Fans can also win prizes like tickets to the Xfinity 500, a VIP experience, and autographed swag.
Fans can enter to win these exclusive prizes through the Pardon My Cheesesteak social media channels, while also being sure to follow Noah Gragson on all social media platforms.
