Contents

Personal life and early career

Born in Stockbridge, Georgia in 1993, Gresham's racing career started at age 8. [1] He has won track championships at Atlanta Motor Speedway and Charlotte Motor Speedway, and won the Legends Car Semi-Pro National Championship in 2006 at the age of 13. [1] He graduated from high school in 2011. [2]

Racing career

K&N Pro Series East and ARCA Racing Series

Starting in 2009 and running through the 2011 racing season, Gresham competed in the K&N Pro Series East, a NASCAR regional touring series, driving for Joe Gibbs Racing. [3] He won four races during his career in the K&N Pro Series East, with the first coming at South Boston Speedway in April 2010; he also won once in twelve starts in the ARCA Racing Series, at Mansfield Motorsports Park. [1]

In 2011, Gresham won the K&N Pro Series East series championship by 63 points over Darrell Wallace Jr. [4] [5] Gresham's K&N Pro Series East championship was the second won by Joe Gibbs Racing, following the team's winning the 2007 series championship with Joey Logano. [4] [5]

Gresham made his debut in the Camping World Truck Series in 2011 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. [2] [3] He made three starts late in the season in the series, finishing 54th in the final season standings, [6] in preparation for 2012, when he will be competing for Rookie of the Year in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, driving the No. 24 for Joe Denette Motorsports as a teammate to four-time Truck Series champion Ron Hornaday Jr. [3] However, Gresham's performance in the Trucks failed to live up to expectations, and he parted ways with JDM after eight races in the 2012 season. [7] He signed with Eddie Sharp Racing to run selected races later in the year shortly thereafter; [8] he returned to ESR for the full 2013 season. [9] His team ESR shut down midway the season, but his ride was secured by SGR allowing him to finish the season. He finished 16th in the point standings, including a best finish of 3rd at Charlotte.
