Garrett Gray graduated with the Harding Academy of Memphis class of 2003 and will enroll in Northwest Mississippi Jr. College classes this fall. Garrett’s High School and Racing experience has lead him to stay focused on what is important for his future and he plans to fill his future with the great racing experiences with the aid of a college degree.

In an interview with Malcolm West of Comcast Fairgrounds Racing Review that aired 4-31-03 Garrett said “I started in Olive Branch Mississippi by driving Go-Karts in Holly Springs, Iuka and some Tulsa Championships. 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”.
