21-year-old Ty Gibbs is having a significant rise in his career graph. After racing for only about half a decade, he has already made his place among the most promising NASCAR drivers of this era. While Joe Gibbs’ grandson already has an Xfinity Series Championship and a career-best third-place finish at Phoenix, he has yet to clinch the Cup Series.

However, with his performances so far, Ty Gibbs has already convinced fans and officials about his potential to reach Cup Series victory lane soon. Recently, Gibbs’ crew chief, Chris Gayle, shared his thoughts on the same.

Ty Gibbs’ crew chief is certain that the win is coming

Chris Gayle opened up this week on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio and said that they are all vouching for his Cup Series win. He also thinks that it is just a matter of time. Apart from that, he also mentions how they did not anticipate this level of success so early in his career.

“We couldn’t have predicted quite this level of success. We wanted to get the consistency up. And we knew our end of the season (performance)… forecast a little bit better hope for the start of this year. We were definitely running better and had speed that was better weekly. But to come out at the start of this year and be leading in all those categories and be second in points, I don’t think we thought we’d be there. It’s getting to the point where every week someone (says to) us, ‘Well that win is coming. That is going to come.'” Gayle said.

“Almost to the point, it’s become one of those good problems to have. It’s one of the things you hate hearing. But of the problems you could have, that’s probably one you could have because you’re doing all the right things. You just have to eventually break through,” Gayle continued about the little problems that they are facing.

In 2022, Ty Gibbs had an unexpected start to his Cup Series career. He came in as a substitute driver for Kurt Busch at 23XI Racing. From there, he went on to win Rookie of the Year honors last year. Crew chief Gayle highlights Gibbs’ increased comfort level as a sophomore and his improved performance on the track.
