Bubba Wallace and Ty Gibbs

Ty Gibbs made the entire Gibbs family proud and happy on Saturday as he won the 2022 Xfinity series title. But the whole family woke up to a tragedy the next day as Ty’s father and Joe Gibbs Racing co-owner Coy Gibbs passed away. Coy was the vice-Chairman of the organization.

Ty Gibbs was the stand-in driver for Kurt Busch after the veteran was ruled out due to a concussion. He drove the No:45 car and then the No:23 vehicle for the team since. He partnered with Bubba Wallace during that time. Wallace has been supportive of the youngster since he joined the 23X1 Garage.
