TAYLOR GRAY LEADS TOYOTA WITH NINTH-PLACE FINISH AT POCONO
Gray posts seventh top-10 finish of the season
POCONO, Penn. (June 21, 2025) – Taylor Gray found himself among the top-five for much of Saturday’s Pocono Mountains 250 NASCAR Xfinity Series race, but a flurry of late race cautions caused him to lose track position. Still, the driver of the No. 54 Operation 300 Toyota GR Supra for Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) brought home a ninth-place finish and his seventh top-10 of the season.
Gray currently sits 12th in the standings, 11 points above the cutline with 10 races remaining in the regular season. His JGR teammate Brandon Jones is already locked into the playoffs by virtue of his win earlier this year at Darlington Raceway.

Finishing Position: 9th
Did the timing of the late cautions make a difference in your day?
“We put together an ok day with our Operation 300 Toyota GR Supra. We were a top-three car a lot of the races, but things didn’t fall our way with the cautions and we lost a lot of our track position and ended up with ninth. Not what we hoped for today, but we’ll move on and look forward to Atlanta next week.”
