LEGACY MOTOR CLUB teammates in the NASCAR Cup Series, Erik Jones and Noah Gragson, headline a strong early entry list for the ASA STARS National Tour ECMD 150 at North Wilkesboro Speedway (NC), scheduled for Tuesday, May 16.

Jones, originally from Byron, MI, has three career NASCAR 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.

Full stories for both drivers will be available soon.

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 and past Super Late Model touring series’ champions Hunter Robbins, Cole Butcher, Kodie Conner and Matt Craig.
