It’s no secret that Joe Gibbs Racing has been the most dominant team this season. The number of wins, laps led, and pole starts is long. However, among the four JGR drivers, Ty Gibbs has been falling behind his teammates for the most of the season.
Like how Christopher kicked off JGR’s dominance in 2025, with three consecutive wins, or how Denny Hamlin is the winningest driver of the season so far with five wins, finally, Chase Briscoe has bagged six poles so far, the highest for any driver in the season. But Gibbs has only managed four top 5s in the 29 races.
However, the youngster seems to have been on the track recently to join his teammates’ dominance. If he does manage that, JGR would create NASCAR history.
Can Ty Gibbs Lead Joe Gibbs Racing to a Historic 2025 Season?
Since the next-gen car’s debut, Team Penske has been a force to reckon with, winning all three championships. However, in 2025, the story seems to be a bit different.
JGR’s drivers have accumulated a series-high 11 wins this season: five for Hamlin, four for Bell, and two for Chase Briscoe. In comparison, Hendrick Motorsports has six wins, and Team Penske has four.
While two of Roger Penske’s men, defending champion Joey Logano and Austin Cindric, are entering the round of 12 in the elimination zone, all three JGR playoff drivers made it there through wins. The sweep started with Briscoe winning at Darlington, Hamlin followed with a Gateway win, and Bell won the Bristol Motor Speedway’s eliminator.
However, Coach Gibbs’ team hopes to continue this run through the playoffs, although they wouldn’t mind if Gibbs plays spoiler. The 22-year-old still hasn’t gotten his first win for the season, and there could not be a better time than at the upcoming New Hampshire Motor Speedway race.
If Gibbs bags that, it would be the first time a team has four consecutive wins with four drivers. NASCAR journalist Joseph Sirgley recently shared this stat on X.
He wrote, “This weekend at@NHMS, there is some NASCAR history in reach for @JoeGibbsRacing. Should @TyGibbs (No. 54) go to Victory Lane in Sunday’s #Mobil1301, Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) would become the first team to win four consecutive NASCAR Cup Series races with four different drivers.”

However, the race won’t be the easiest for Gibbs. After a decent qualification session, he’s starting 13th. While that might be his best start at NHMS to date, he’s struggled to get good finishes there. In the two times that the #54 driver has raced at New Hampshire, his best has been a P16 (2024). But Gibbs seems to be getting back in form.
He has finished three times in the top 10 in the last four races. In fact, at Bristol, he even led the most laps (201). So maybe he can carry this momentum into NHMS, take home the checkered flag, and create history.
