He began his winning career Go-Cart racing at the age of 14. He had a total of 153 wins on the Go-Cart Circuit.
A summary of Gray’s career in his No. 24 dark blue Dodge include:

2002 Late Model racing at Highland Rim Racetrack, Ridgetop, Tenn., ranked eighth with five top 10 finishes. |

Then I started running at Highland Rim in the Late Models and I hope to make a run with Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr. one day in the Winston Cup. This is a good place to start out at Nashville’s Fairgrounds Speedway and I think this will make me better."
