Taylor Gray signs one-year extension with Joe Gibbs Racing

Driver Taylor Gray signed a one-year extension to remain with Joe Gibbs Racing through the 2027 season.

The 20-year-old third-generation racer has competed under the JGR banner in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series since 2024 and full-time for the past two seasons.

“With Taylor, I’ve seen him since he was a little guy, running dirt track with Ty (Gibbs) at Millbridge (Speedway) and go-karts,” said JGR co-owner Heather Gibbs.

“Just the maturity, the growth, and the humility. You go back, you make mistakes, you learn, he owns them and that pays off.
