NASCAR driver Taylor Gray was involved in a car crash Wednesday night, according to his David Gilliland Racing team.
The single-car accident took place in Statesville, N.C., and Gray was transported to a local hospital, where he remains in stable condition, DGR said in a statement issued Thursday morning. The extent of any injuries is not yet known.
Gray drives in NASCAR’s ARCA Menards Series in the No. 17 for DGR and was slated to make his first Truck Series start at Richmond Raceway on April 17, but it has not yet been determined whether he will participate in the event.
Gray is the brother of full-time Truck Series driver Tanner Gray, who also competes for the team in the No. 15 truck, and comes from a long lineage of NHRA racers, which includes his brother, father Shane Gray and grandfather Johnny Gray.
Taylor made his stock car debut in 2018, and won a CARS Tour Late Model race at Hickory Speedway in 2019. Prior to racing limited late models, he raced Outlaw Karts. In 2020, Taylor made the transition to NASCAR’s lower-level ARCA Series driving for DGR-Crosley, making starts across ARCA’s East and West Series. Last October, Taylor earned his first win in ARCA at Kern County Raceway.
He turned 16 on March 25.
“The Gray family appreciates your thoughts and prayers and asks that you respect their privacy at this time,” DGR said.
