Joe Gibbs Racing
Founded by former NFL head coach Joe Gibbs, the only person who has won both a Super Bowl and a NASCAR Cup Series Championship, as well as the only person inducted into both the Pro Football and the NASCAR Halls of Fame, Joe Gibbs Racing is a professional racing organization that first started operating in 1991.
The team made its Cup Series debut at the 1992 Daytona 500 and now competes in all major circuits under the NASCAR banner.
Within the Cup Series, Joe Gibbs Racing fields four full-time cars: the No. 11 Toyota driven by Denny Hamlin, the No. 18 Camry driven by Kyle Busch, the No. 19 Camry driven by Martin Truex Jr., and the No. 20 Camry driven by Christopher Bell. It also fields three full-time entries in the Xfinity Series, currently helmed by a stable of drivers that includes Brandon Jones and Ty Gibbs, the grandson of Joe Gibbs.
JGR has won nine total drivers' championships, including five in the Cup Series, and has won over 400 races between the circuits.
It's quite possible the 16 drivers who will make the 2023 NASCAR Playoffs are already in position.
Legacy Motor Club will switch its partnership to Toyota in 2024, but small teams have not fared well with that manufacturer.
Martin Truex Jr. surprisingly brought up his retirement plans after winning at Dover, including identifying the specific driver he wants to replace him and when that might happen.
Dover was a race Joe Gibbs Racing sorely needed.
After Martin Truex Jr. won at Dover on Monday, his crew chief James Small talked to the media and when asked about a special message to fans of the No. 19 car, he didn't mince words.
With a win at Dover in the bank, Martin Truex Jr. is back in the hunt for the Cup Series championship. He won it all in 2017 and has come oh-so-close three other times.
Joe Gibbs received a lot of criticism earlier this year for a policy change that upset Christopher Bell. Now the owner looks like he made the right decision, but there are still potential issues in the future.
Martin Truex Jr. is coming up on a critical stretch of his 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season.
Christopher Bell shut down a conversation before it ever got started during Fox's pre-race coverage from Talladega when responding to an uncomfortable question from Tony Stewart about a sensitive subject involving owner Joe Gibbs.
Every Kyle Busch victory is a reminder to JGR owner Joe Gibbs of what he let get away.
