Summary: The series of 12 Questions interviews continues with Noah Gragson, who drives for Kyle Busch Motorsports in the Camping World Truck Series. Gragson is currently fifth in the series standings after the first four races. This interview is recorded as a podcast, but is transcribed below for those who prefer to read.<br> 1. How often do you have dreams about racing?<br> Probably six out of seven nights.<br> Really? That’s a lot.<br> A lot. I’m always dreaming about racing. Like daydreaming, too — I always am daydreaming. Like that’s 24/7. I’m thinking about racing all the time.<br> 2. If you get into someone during a race — intentional or not — does it matter if you apologize?<br> Yeah, I think so. I mean if it’s intentional, then you just throw them the bird out the window and keep on digging. And if it’s not, then I’m the first to come up and say that I made a mistake and just own up for my actions and my mistakes. So yeah, I definitely think owning up for what you did wrong is definitely crucial. <br> 3. What is the biggest compliment someone could give you?<br> That they thought I did a good job. That’s probably a good one.<br> That’s not that much of a compliment.<br> It is to me, because I try my best and I want to do my best. So if somebody’s saying that I do a good job, then it’s coming off good. So that’s key.<br> 4. NASCAR comes to you and says, “Hey, we are bringing a celebrity to the race and we’re wondering if you have time to say hi.” Who is a celebrity you’d be really excited to host?<br><br> <br> Travis Pastrana. <br> Really?<br> I’m a huge fan of his.<br> You never met him when he was doing NASCAR?<br> Well I wasn’t in NASCAR, I was racing Bandoleros.<br> Didn’t he make a Truck start last year?<br> Yeah, I met him last year and I got to ride in the van with him to the autograph session. I was fan-boying the whole time, so that was really cool. And then probably if I could meet him again, I want to, just to hang out. I’m a huge fan of Travis Pastrana.<br> Could you not get the words out last year or something?<br> Nah, I was just trying to not say a whole lot — just listen to him — because I was just in awe. I just look up to him and try to role-model myself after him.<br> 5. In an effort to show they are health-conscious, NASCAR offers the No. 1 pit stall selection for an upcoming race to the first driver willing to go vegan for a month. Would you do it?<br> Hell no. I’ll take pit stall No. 2 all day. No vegan for me. I love my junk food and everything.<br> 6. It’s time for the Random Race Challenge. I have picked a random race from your career and you have to guess where you finished. This is the 2016 K&N West race at Orange Show Speedway in San Bernardino. Where did you finish?<br> Third.<br> The answer is third.<br> Hell yeah. I started second.<br> You started second. You led two laps. Chris Eggleston won. Your buddy Gracin Raz was second, and you finished ahead of Todd Gilliland. What do you remember about that race?<br> I remember missing the pole barely to Ryan Partridge. And then I was on the outside of the front row; it’s a real tight racetrack. A lot of cautions. I was on the outside on like pretty much all the restarts and then Gracin got me there at the end.<br> Ryan Partridge was also up front with Chris Eggleston. I think it was Ryan Partridge, Chris Eggleston, then me. And then there was a lapper, Rich DeLong Sr., we were lapping him and Ryan Partridge went low, Chris Eggleston went high, and then Ryan Partridge got taken out for the lead. So that was a big points implication deal for that race. I think it was the third or fourth race of the season.<br> 7. Who is the best rapper alive?<br> I don’t know.<br> You’re not into rap?<br> I’m into rap and I like listening to those rap songs...
