Ty Gibbs was the dominant force in the NASCAR Cup Series race at the Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum until a late caution derailed his chances. Despite finishing 18th, Gibbs showcased his strong performance by leading the most laps and driving away from the field. However, a restart mishap caused him to wash wide in Turn 1, allowing his teammate Denny Hamlin to take the lead. In the final lap, Gibbs spun due to contact from Kyle Larson. The restart also affected Joey Logano’s race, as he was inadvertently taken out of the racing groove by Gibbs. Despite the disappointment, Gibbs remained optimistic and acknowledged the need to improve on restarts. Last season’s Sunoco Rookie of the Year, Gibbs is expected to win a race and qualify for the playoffs, according to TRD President David Wilson.
