Ty Gibbs wins Las Vegas Xfinity series race

Winning NASCAR is not always about having the dominant car most of the time it’s about can the driver make use of the slightest opportunity presented to him at the right time to lead the race and Ty Gibbs did exactly that to win the Las Vegas Xfinity series race, Alsco Uniforms 300.

Ty Gibbs produced his most dominant run when it mattered the most like the 19-year-old drove his No. 54 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota Supra to the finish line leading the last six-lap of the final restart, the only laps he led the whole race. Ty Gibbs, who climbed from P11, secured his win-toping push from Justin Allgaier to clear Noah Gragson, who won the initial two stages of the race, for the lead.

Ty Gibbs had to overcome a nasty first-stage spat and a failed attempt at retaliation from fellow racer Ryan Sieg which began in the 3ed lap of the race and went on until Sieg got himself out to try to push Ty Gibbs off. Ty Gibbs was quick to issue an apology in the post-race interview saying “It wasn’t my best decision and I’m sorry for the whole group and Ryan’s family that works so hard, so I want to apologize to them,”
