Taylor Gray to run five more Xfinity races for Joe Gibbs Racing in 2024

Taylor Gray will run five more NASCAR Xfinity Series races for Joe Gibbs Racing after making his debut at Richmond Raceway in 2024.

[autotag]Taylor Gray[/autotag] made his NASCAR Xfinity Series debut with [autotag]Joe Gibbs Racing[/autotag] at Richmond Raceway, and the results exceeded expectations. Gray came home with a third-place finish, as Toyota Racing had a 1-2-3-4 finish. Gray’s teammates Chandler Smith and Aric Almirola were the only drivers to finish ahead of him.

The full-time NASCAR Truck Series driver was announced as a part of the driver lineup before the new campaign, but there is now a firm number of starts for 2024. According to FOX Sports’ Bob Pockrass, Gray has six Xfinity Series starts with Joe Gibbs Racing during the 2024 season. After Richmond, he will have five more starts with the organization.

It is unclear if Joe Gibbs Racing has every race filled for its seats in 2024; however, Gray’s performance at Richmond could make him a candidate for more races if needed. The TRICON Garage driver has a lot of talent, and Joe Gibbs Racing has realized it. Gray is only 19 years old, but his future with Joe Gibbs Racing is bright if he keeps bringing home good finishes.

Taylor Gray returning to TRICON Garage in Truck Series for 2024

TRICON Garage announced on Friday morning that Taylor Gray will return to the No. 17 truck in the NASCAR Truck Series for 2024.

[autotag]TRICON Garage[/autotag] announced on Friday morning that [autotag]Taylor Gray[/autotag] will return to the organization in the NASCAR Truck Series for 2024. Gray drove the No. 17 truck alongside teammate and brother Tanner Gray for 20 races after missing the beginning of the season due to age restrictions. The 18-year-old driver finished the year with three top-5 finishes and six top-10 finishes.

Gray has been close to victories before with the most notably coming in 2022 at Lucas Oil Raceway. The No. 17 truck was in front with two laps to go but former Kyle Busch Motorsports driver John Hunter Nemechek dumped him. Gray will have his brother Tanner, Dean Thompson, and Corey Heim as teammates in 2024. The status of the fifth entry has not been revealed yet.

Overall, this is a good move for Gray and TRICON Garage as the driver has been running very well for his age. Gray is only 18 years old and has shown that he has potential in NASCAR. Now, he will receive his first true full-time season behind the wheel after missing the first three races of 2023.
