List of NASCAR race wins by Joe Gibbs Racing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joe Gibbs Racing is an American professional stock car racing organization owned and operated by former Washington Redskins coach Joe Gibbs, which first started racing on the NASCAR circuit in 1991. His son, J. D. Gibbs, ran the team with him until his death in 2019. Headquartered in Huntersville, North Carolina, roughly 10 miles (16 km) northwest of Charlotte Motor Speedway, the team has amassed five Cup Series championships since the year 2000.
For the team's first sixteen seasons, Gibbs ran cars from General Motors. During that period, the team won their first three championships: two in Pontiac Grand Prixs and one in a Chevrolet Monte Carlo. Despite this, Joe Gibbs Racing announced during the 2007 season that they would be ending their arrangement with GM at the end of the year and begin running Toyotas the following season. This partnership would eventually bring Toyota their first Cup Series championship with Kyle Busch in 2015.[1] Along with five Cup Series championships, Gibbs has also won four O'Reilly Auto Parts Series drivers' championships and one ARCA Racing Series crown. The team has amassed 229 NASCAR Cup Series victories, 223 O'Reilly Auto Parts Series wins, 47 ARCA Menards Series wins, 22 ARCA Menards Series East wins, and 8 ARCA Menards Series West victories.
In the NASCAR Cup Series, the team currently fields four full-time entries with the Toyota Camry: the No. 11 for Denny Hamlin and Ryan Truex, the No. 19 for Chase Briscoe, the No. 20 for Christopher Bell, and the No. 54 for Ty Gibbs. In the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series, the team currently fields three full-time entries with the Toyota Supra: the No. 18 for William Sawalich, the No. 19 for multiple drivers, the No. 20 for Brandon Jones, and the No. 54 for Taylor Gray. The team has fielded Cup and Xfinity cars in the past for many NASCAR drivers, including Hall of Famers Dale Jarrett, Tony Stewart, Bobby Labonte, and Matt Kenseth, and others such as Kyle Busch, Carl Edwards, J. J. Yeley, Jason Leffler, Erik Jones, Daniel Suárez, Joey Logano, Daniel Hemric, Brian Vickers, Brian Scott, Elliott Sadler, Harrison Burton, Riley Herbst, John Hunter Nemechek, Ryan Truex, Coy Gibbs, Mike McLaughlin, and Mike Bliss.
