The finish came in his 8th start.
Entering Season 1 of the Busch Series, Acevedo had already proven he belonged by scoring multiple wins in several series. In his debut, Acevedo finished 11th at Daytona, 29th at Richmond, 32nd at Bristol, 40th at Martinsville, 38th at Darlington, a career best runner up finish at Hickory before finishing 11th in the last round at South Boston.
Due to the Caraway track not being big enough to fit all forty two cars, the field was split into two parts, the first twenty six drivers would race in the main event while the remaining 16 drivers raced in a LCQ(Last Chance Qualifier) to see who would advance.
Acevedo would roll off the starting grid 9th while the Richmond last-place finisher the #47 unsponsored Pontiac of Jesse Turner started last, and in a caution free, but eventful race, Acevedo would find himself on the outside, dropping back to last around the halfway mark and scoring the last place spot.
The remaining Bottom Five were: 41st was Bristol last-place finisher the #70 unsponsored Pontiac of Todd Kennedy, 40th was the #88 unsponsored Pontiac of Keith Stevens, 39th was the #4 Connie Mining Tire Pontiac of AJ Jones and finishing 38th was South Boston last-place finisher the #00 Thomas Brothers Country Ham Oldsmobile of Dinkdrinker.
Grayson would never find victory lane in the SCRL Busch Series, but had scored 8 career wins in his entire career. He continues to compete in select SCRL series from time to time.
