The family appreciates all the thoughts and prayers and asks for privacy at this time.”returned to North Carolina prior to the race start. He was replaced in the race by 2021 Xfinity champion Daniel Hemric, who finished 17th.
It came after a turbulent week for the younger Gibbs, who had earned criticism for spinning team-mate Brandon Jones to win the previous week's Martinsville race which ended Jones's hopes of contending for the title. “So, it was more watching him and seeing how he’s going to react during the day. I think he’s just doubled down and did his job after making a huge mistake last week. It was fun to watch that.
Gibbs made his NASCAR debut in the Truck Series in 2000, sharing the driving duties of the #18 Chevrolet with his brother, J.D., who died in 2019 from complications following a long battle with a degenerative neurological disease. In 2004, after Joe Gibbs was re-hired as Washington’s coach, he joined the team as an Offensive Quality Control assistant, serving in that capacity until 2007.
