Taylor Gray

TRICON Garage

2023 Fantasy Outlook

Gray's two seasons of part-time racing in this division of NASCAR are now complete and now the soon-to-be 18-year-old driver is ready to take on a full slate of races for the first time. Gray's 13 starts over the last two seasons have netted a pair of Top-10 finishes with short tracks appearing to be his biggest strength. TRICON Garage, formerly David Gilliland Racing, will pair Gray with ace crew chief, Chad Johnston, and look to make a big splash in Gray's rookie season. The young driver has a lot of potential, so most of the burden will be on this race team to provide Gray with a fast truck week-in and week-out. Read Past Outlooks

Playoff Waiver

Craftsman Truck Series

January 31, 2023

TRICON Garage announced that Gray has been granted a playoff waiver from NASCAR. Gray does not turn 18 until March 25th and will miss the first three races.

ANALYSIS
Gray cannot compete in the opening events due to age restrictions. NASCAR has decided to grant Gray a playoff waiver that will potentially get him into the 2023 Truck Series playoffs if he can win a race or qualify on points during the upcoming season. Missing the first three events is a huge points disadvantage and could have potentially kept him from racing in this season's playoffs.
