Red Bull F1 driver Liam Lawson got another little taste of American racing when he recently paced some laps in a NASCAR stock car at the Ford Performance Technical Center in Concord, North Carolina. There, he met up with NASCAR Cup Series driver Noah Gragson to run some laps in the Ford simulator. It's not the two's first time together, either, as Ford filmed a video with the two at Las Vegas Motor Speedway a few months back. But this time, Lawson actually got a taste of what Gragson does every weekend.
Lawson is a proven winner in the F3, and F2 divisions, as well as DTM and Super Formula. He was promoted to Red Bull during the off-season after a handful of races with its junior team during both the 2023 and 2024 seasons. This year, he replaces Sergio Perez as a teammate to four-time F1 World Champion Max Verstappen. Meanwhile, Gragson, who currently competes with Front Row Motorsports, is a former championship runner-up in both the NASCAR Xfinity and Truck Series.
