Grala, then battled to a second-place finish and became the youngest driver to ever lead laps at the prestigious 21st annual NASCAR Myrtle Beach 400. To cap off the season, he won the Speed 51/JEGS 2013 Rookie of the Year Award, joining other successful young drivers, Chase Elliott, Ross Kenseth, Erik Jones and Kyle Larson.

Grala kicked off his 2014 season by becoming the youngest-ever driver in the IMSA series history, competing for Rum Bum Racing in the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge BMW Performance 200 at Daytona International Speedway. Starting 13th in a stacked field of 67, Grala ended his stint in second-place, having set the fastest lap of the race.
