And that\u2019s probably putting it mildly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Performance-wise, it was everything the 19-year-old grandson of legendary team owner Joe Gibbs could\u2019ve ever wanted. But beyond the wins and the trophies, Ty Gibbs\u2019 season was marred with controversy \u2014 often of his own making \u2014 and ended in tragedy with the loss of his father, <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/in-final-public-appearance-coy-gibbs-praised-son-ty-also-acknowledged-room-for-growth\/\">Joe Gibbs Racing vice chairman Coy Gibbs<\/a>, just hours after he won the Xfinity Series championship at Phoenix Raceway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Gibbs hasn\u2019t spoken publicly since his father\u2019s passing, he was in the news again on November 15 when Joe Gibbs Racing announced that the company is promoting him to a full-time NASCAR Cup Series ride in 2023 when he\u2019ll <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/kyle-busch-finished-his-fantastic-run-joe-gibbs-racing-down-note\/\">replace Kyle Busch<\/a> in the organization\u2019s four-driver lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gibbs, <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/2-interesting-wrinkles-ty-gibbs-move-cup-series-official\/\">who will campaign the No. 54<\/a> \u2014 his number in the Xfinity Series \u2014 instead of Busch\u2019s No. 18, is slated to make his official JGR Cup debut at next year\u2019s Daytona 500. Although there\u2019s a segment of the population that believes Gibbs needs a second full year of Xfinity Series racing to smooth out some of his rough edges before going full-time in the sport\u2019s premier division, this simply isn\u2019t the case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Up next, we\u2019ll look at three reasons why the teenager from Huntersville, North Carolina, is Cup-ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TyGibbs?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@TyGibbs<\/a> will compete full time for Joe Gibbs Racing in the 2023 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NASCAR?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NASCAR<\/a> Cup Series behind the wheel of the No. 54 Toyota Camry TRD. <br><br>(continued) <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jKanIitO3C\">pic.twitter.com\/jKanIitO3C<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Joe Gibbs Racing (@JoeGibbsRacing) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeGibbsRacing\/status\/1592600865285713920?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 15, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ty-gibbs-owns-an-impressive-body-of-work-in-the-xfinity-series\">Ty Gibbs owns an impressive body of work in the Xfinity Series<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As the old adage goes: The numbers don\u2019t lie. If that\u2019s true, Ty Gibbs did more than enough to solidify his Cup Series credentials in 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His seven Xfinity Series race wins, 10 stage wins, and 990 laps led were second only to Noah Gragson \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/noah-gragson-fires-multiple-shots-ty-gibbs-championship-4%EF%BF%BC\/\">his bitter rival<\/a> and the driver he edged for the championship. Gibbs also recorded 23 top-10 finishes \u2014 16 of them top-fives \u2014 to trail only Gragson and AJ Allmendinger in those categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ty Gibbs sweeps at Phoenix in title race | Extended Highlights\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sw1Wv1joSAA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, Gibbs was no stranger to Victory Lane in the Xfinity Series even before the season began. As a part-time Xfinity driver in 2021, Gibbs posted four wins in 18 starts \u2014 good enough to convince his grandfather that he was prepared for a jump to full-time Xfinity Series competition in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, when a driver enjoys back-to-back multiple-win seasons in the Xfinity Series, the next logical step in their career progression is Cup, so nothing about Ty Gibbs\u2019 move up next season is atypical. Instead, it\u2019s to be expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ty Gibbs stepped up to the plate when it mattered most<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ty Gibbs\u2019 impressive numbers alone are enough to justify his promotion to the Cup Series with his grandfather\u2019s organization. But arguably just as important as the full body of work is how Gibbs rose to the occasion in the biggest race of his life \u2014 the season-ending Championship 4 race at Phoenix, where he competed straight up for the title against three JR Motorsports drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike some other occasions during the season when Gibbs put himself \u2014 and others \u2014 in compromising positions on the race track, Gibbs drove a nearly perfect race in the Arizona desert, where he led 125 of 200 laps from the pole and withstood a furious challenge in the second half of the event from JR Motorsports teammates Noah Gragson and Justin Allgaier to come the champion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/TyGibbs\/status\/1589112183971278848\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Altogether different from the previous weekend at Martinsville, where <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/its-not-fair-to-condemn-ty-gibbs-controversial-last-lap-martinsville-move-condone-ross-chastain\/\">Gibbs wrecked teammate Brandon Jones to win in controversial fashion<\/a>, the youngster stayed out of trouble at Phoenix after expressing great remorse in the days leading up to the race about punting his teammate on the final lap at Martinsville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although this wasn\u2019t the first time in 2022 that Gibbs had apologized for running into someone, his regret seemed sincere enough \u2014 and he made sure not to go out and make a similar mistake at Phoenix, where the stakes couldn\u2019t have been any higher and where he was under an intense microscope of scrutiny for his actions a week earlier. Gibbs\u2019 clean driving at Phoenix didn\u2019t go unrecognized, even garnering praise from rival team owner Dale Earnhardt Jr., despite Earnhardt Jr.\u2019s disappointment that a JR Motorsports car was unable to prevail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Dale Earnhardt Jr. reacts to JR Motorsports coming up short and Ty Gibbs winning the championship. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/TplXDP9oBZ\">pic.twitter.com\/TplXDP9oBZ<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Bob Pockrass (@bobpockrass) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bobpockrass\/status\/1589062840891195392?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 6, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ty Gibbs proved to be a quick study as Kurt Busch\u2019s sub<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest curveball of Ty Gibbs\u2019 2022 season, at least on the race track, came his way in late July when 23XI Racing \u2014 an affiliate of Joe Gibbs Racing \u2014 tabbed him to step in for Kurt Busch in the Cup Series race at Pocono.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Busch, who had suffered a concussion in qualifying, didn\u2019t know until the morning of the race that he would be unable to compete, so <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/ty-gibbs-driving-no-45-toyota-at-pocono-isnt-jgr-conspiracy\/\">Gibbs\u2019 appointment to 23XI\u2019s No. 45 car<\/a> couldn\u2019t have come on shorter notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/TyGibbs\/status\/1551436363840557059\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/last-nascar-cup-series-driver-to-win-in-ty-gibbs-54\/\">Who Was the Last NASCAR Cup Series Driver to Win in Ty Gibbs\u2019 \u201854?\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite being at a clear disadvantage as a result of having no prior seat time in a Cup car, Gibbs finished a respectable 16<sup>th<\/sup> at Pocono and went on to record seven top-20 finishes in his 15 starts as a sub for the veteran Busch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This experience will serve Gibbs well when he goes full-time Cup racing next season for JGR, but, more importantly, it proved that he\u2019s capable of holding his own at the sport\u2019s highest level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While stepping up to the NASCAR Cup Series is certainly a challenge, it's safe to assume that Ty Gibbs will be up to the task.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":259,"featured_media":1538962,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[253795],"tags":[118377],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v22.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Ty Gibbs Has Undeniably Proved That He&#039;s Ready for the Big-Time - Sports7<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Is stepping up to the NASCAR Cup Series a challenge?
