Tyler Allen Named Crew Chief for Ty Gibbs

Tyler Allen has been named the new crew chief for Ty Gibbs and the No. 54 team at Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) for the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season. Allen, who previously led JGR's No. 20 Xfinity team to eight wins in 2024, expressed excitement about the opportunity, emphasizing his desire to build on Gibbs' potential after a strong 2024 season. He has a rich history at JGR, having served as a race engineer under Adam Stevens and contributed to a Cup Series championship in 2019 with Kyle Busch. The announcement comes as JGR undergoes significant changes, including Chris Gayle's shift to crew chief for Denny Hamlin's No. 11 team. Allen's appointment marks a continuation of JGR's commitment to nurturing talent within the organization. Gibbs, entering his third Cup season, aims to achieve his first victory with Allen's guidance.
