With the NASCAR off-season well underway, most drivers are taking advantage of this period to relax. Among them is Ty Gibbs, who wrapped up his ARCA Series season earlier this year. Recently, the Joe Gibbs Racing Xfinity driver made an appearance as a spectator for a Nashville Predators ice hockey game. The Predators made mincemeat of the Columbus Blue Jackets with a 6-0 victory.

The ARCA Series champion hung out with Gnash, the Predators mascot, and had a grand old time. As per Joe Gibbs Racing’s observations, this was the 19-year-old’s first live NHL game. At that particular game, alternate captain Filip Forsberg was the star of the show with four goals. Additionally, Yakov Trentin and Nick Cousins also contributed a goal each.
