Joe Gibbs Racing
Founded by former NFL head coach Joe Gibbs, the only person who has won both a Super Bowl and a NASCAR Cup Series Championship, as well as the only person inducted into both the Pro Football and the NASCAR Halls of Fame, Joe Gibbs Racing is a professional racing organization that first started operating in 1991.
The team made its Cup Series debut at the 1992 Daytona 500 and now competes in all major circuits under the NASCAR banner.
Within the Cup Series, Joe Gibbs Racing fields four full-time cars: the No. 11 Toyota driven by Denny Hamlin, the No. 18 Camry driven by Kyle Busch, the No. 19 Camry driven by Martin Truex Jr., and the No. 20 Camry driven by Christopher Bell. It also fields three full-time entries in the Xfinity Series, currently helmed by a stable of drivers that includes Brandon Jones and Ty Gibbs, the grandson of Joe Gibbs.
JGR has won nine total drivers’ championships, including five in the Cup Series, and has won over 400 races between the circuits.
Celebrating the annual “Throwback Weekend” at Darlington Raceway, NASCAR Cup Series driver William Byron, piloting a 2015 Jeff Gordon-themed ride, captured the pole position for Sunday’s Goodyear 400. Byron’s hot qualifying lap was clocked at 28.774 seconds, edging runner-up Ryan Preece (28.857 seconds) for his second pole position of the season and 15th of his career. […]
When a driver prevails in a NASCAR Cup Series race at Martinsville Speedway, the highlight of their celebration is usually posing in Victory Lane with the coveted grandfather clock awarded to winners at the fabled Virginia short track. But after triumphing on Sunday for the first time in 2025, Denny Hamlin craved more than just […]
Six races into the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season, it’s fair to say that some degree of parity exists. After all, in those first half-dozen events, all three manufacturers — Chevrolet, Toyota and Ford — have been to Victory Lane. Also, the Wood Brothers’ Josh Berry scored his first career victory, and no one driver […]
Denny Hamlin’s No. 11 Toyota will have a new look for Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series event at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The Joe Gibbs Racing team announced Progressive Insurance will serve as the team’s primary sponsor. The new deal covers 18 races this season. “We are thrilled to have them partner with Denny (Hamlin) and our No. […]
Wednesday was a busy news day around the NASCAR industry. First, the sanctioning body handed down a major but relatively mild penalty to Team Penske driver Austin Cindric. Later, Chase Briscoe and Joe Gibbs Racing saw their penalty from Daytona taken back. Coincidentally, as seen in the photo above, Briscoe and Cindric shared the front […]
Three races into the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season, Christopher Bell already owns a pair wins — coming over the past two weekends. So, Bell must feel like he’s the driver to beat this year, right? Well, not so fast. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver is taking a cautious, humble approach on the heels of […]
Seeking his first NASCAR Cup Series win since June 4, 2023, Kyle Busch spent much of Sunday’s race at Circuit of The Americas in position to end his lengthy drought. But when the checkered flag waved on the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix, Busch wasn’t out front. Instead, the Richard Childress Racing driver was fifth. So, what […]
Making his only scheduled start of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season, Martin Truex Jr. entered Sunday’s Daytona 500 with one objective: win. Unfortunately for Truex, who retired from full-time driving at the end of 2024, his unfinished business in NASCAR’s most prestigious race remains just that — unfinished business. For the 21st time in […]
When the green flag waves on Sunday’s Daytona 500, Joey Logano will be the only NASCAR Cup Series champion in the field with a Daytona 500 victory. Remarkably, the other five — and possibly six — champions will all be chasing their first Harley J. Earl Trophy. Before the engines fire in Central Florida to […]
The main event of Sunday night’s Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium was, by any objective measure, a bit of a snoozer. The preliminary 75-lap Last Chance Qualifier leading up to it was anything but boring, however. And for that, you can mostly thank Ty Gibbs. No, Gibbs didn’t win the Last Chance Qualifier, […]
