2025 Fantasy Outlook
Gray makes the jump from the truck series to the Xfinity Series in 2025. The young driver is coming off a 14 Top-10 finish and sixth-place points finish with TRICON Garage last season. Gray now takes over the No. 54 Toyota that was Chandler Smith's No. 81 Toyota last year. Smith drove the car to two victories and 22 Top-10 finishes before a fifth-place finish in the points. Crew chief Jason Ratcliff will join Gray in the No. 54 Toyota and put his talent to work. Gray has won all through the lower divisions of ARCA Menards racing and should prove to be a quick study behind the wheel of a strong Gibbs' Toyota. It should be just a matter of short time before he finds the win column in the Xfinity Series and puts his name into championship contention. Read Past Outlooks
Runner-up Finish in Mexico
Gray finished second in The Chilango 150 NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez on Saturday afternoon.
ANALYSIS
The young driver would start eighth on the grid and battle among the Top 5 all afternoon in Mexico. Gray would only lead 1 lap for the day but he'd be in the mix for the win in the end. A hard push on the final lap would see him make up a lot of ground and finish six-tenths back of race-winner, Daniel Suarez, for the impressive runner-up finish. It was Gray's fourth Top 5 of the season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Gray would make some nice progression in 2023. It would be his first full Craftsman Truck Series slate of action and he wouldn't disappoint. The youngster would grab three Top-5 and six Top-10 finishes on his way to a very solid 14.6 average finish. It all added up to a respectable 15th-place finish in the final driver standings. Gray's best tracks were intermediate ovals and short tracks for the most part, although he did have a couple nice drives on road circuits. Gray's potential is just being tapped as he's a tender 18-years-old to start the 2024 season. He'll be paired with veteran crew chief, Jeff Hensley, this season and the two will look to continue his development and improvement.
