Noah Gragson has a three-word reaction to Mr. Beast’s $1M challenge to beat Cristiano Ronaldo

Renowned YouTuber James Donaldson, aka Mr. Beast's, new challenge video caught the attention of the former Stewart Haas Racing driver Noah Gragson. The NASCAR Cup Series driver confidently responded to take the challenge and beat professional soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo.

Mr. Beast recently dropped a video of Pros vs. Amateurs featuring professionals, including retired seven-time Super Bowl Champion Tom Brady, Olympic gold medal winner sprinter Noah Lyles, two-time US Open champion golfer Bryson DeChambeau and five-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo.

In the video, amateurs try beating the professionals in their respective sports, and many were successful in doing so, even in Ronaldo's challenge. A subscriber named Khalid went up against the Portuguese forward and both took turns hitting the target on the goalpost. The subscriber was able to hit three out of five targets before Cristiano Ronaldo ultimately won the million-dollar prize.

After the huge success of the video, Mr. Beast shared a post for making another video and wrote on X:

Mr. Beast hasn't made any announcements about featuring Gragson in his future video. The former SHR driver is known for his active presence on social media.

Noah Gragson gave his verdict on NFL star Antonio Brown's NASCAR recognition quest

NASCAR Cup Series Noah Gragson recently reacted to NFL star Antonio Brown's quest to seek recognition from the stock car racing association. Brown recently met the 18-year-old NASCAR prodigy Connor Zilisch and shared an image with him on his X account.

In the comments, one of the fans asked the Stock Car Racing Association to give the former NFL quarterback a chance to be the Grand Marshal for the upcoming Daytona 500 scheduled for February 16, 2025. Stumbling upon the comment Antonio Brown wrote:

This tweet caught the attention of the #10 Ford Mustang Dark Horse driver Noah Gragson and he enthusiastically replied:

However, if NASCAR agreed to make Antonio Brown the grand marshal of the prestige event, he wouldn't be the first American footballer to be the marshal of the Cup Series.

For the inauguration of the 2024 Cup Series at the Daytona 500 race, NASCAR invited former WWE athlete Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock. In 2022, former NFL star Charles Woodson got the honor. He followed by American singer Pitbull in 2021, and J.J. Watt, another professional defensive footballer, in 2019.

However, the Stock Car Association hasn't made any official statement regarding making Antonio Brown the grand marshal for the 2025 Cup Series season Daytona 500.
