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]

Camping World Truck Series

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.
