Just one day before the loss of his grandfather, Griffith received news that he would be a participant in the ARCA Menards Series Test at Daytona International Speedway. This was the last piece of news his grandfather would receive about him while he was alive. Piloting the number 66 Toyota Camry for Mike Harmon, Griffith took to the high banks at over 170 miles an hour, achieving a dream he worked tirelessly for while honoring the legacy of the man who had supported him every step of the way.
