2026 Fantasy Outlook
His first full season of O'Reilly Series competition yielded Gray's first win (Martinsville) and he would stack up an impressive 15 Top-10 finishes in the No. 54 Toyota team. Crew chief Jason Ratcliff and he did some impressive work down the stretch run of last season and built a lot of excitement and anticipation for 2026. Gray will now look to forge his first multi-win season in this division of NASCAR and move his name into the upper tier of championship contending drivers. He showed a lot of versatility and ability on a variety of tracks last season and did some great work on the short tracks. Gray was also no slouch on the road circuits, and raced them well too. All indicators point towards improvement in the upcoming season and at 20-years-old, lots of time to improve. Read Past Outlooks
Second Top-10 of 2026
Gray recorded his first Top-10 finish since Atlanta with a seventh-place result in the NASCAR Xfinity Series North Carolina Education Lottery 200 at Rockingham.
ANALYSIS
It's been a tough season for Gray, who currently sits 12th in the point standings, last of the three Joe Gibbs Racing drivers who have run every race this season. His average finish has dropped from 15.0 last season to 17.0 this season, and he hasn't strung together consecutive Top-10 finishes since the end of last season. He finished 19th and 14th in two races at Bristol last year, which is the next track on the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series schedule.

2025
2024
2023
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.
