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.
