Ty Gibbs Secures Third Place Finish at Bristol

Ty Gibbs, the 22-year-old NASCAR driver and grandson of coaching legend Joe Gibbs, achieved his highest finish of the 2025 Cup Series season by placing third in the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. This result marks his first Top-5 finish since September of the previous year and follows a challenging start to the season where he faced two DNFs and struggled to find his footing. Gibbs expressed satisfaction with the race, highlighting the team's adaptability to track conditions and his own management of the race pace. His recent performances have propelled him from 34th to 20th in the championship standings, with a significant improvement seen over the last three races, including two consecutive Top-10 finishes. The No. 54 team, now led by crew chief Tyler Allen, seems to be gaining momentum after a difficult opening to the season. As Gibbs continues to refine his skills amid the pressures of his prestigious lineage, his aggressive driving style remains a topic of discussion among fans and commentators alike.
