WATCH: Ty Gibbs Waves the Rally Towel at Nashville Predators’ Home Game

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.

What next for Ty Gibbs and his future in NASCAR?

Last year, Gibbs made a heck of a splash in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. In his limited appearances for the #54 Toyota, he notched up an impressive four wins. Owing to his performance, the JGR team saw fit to reward him with a full-time drive for the 2022 Xfinity Series season.

In the ARCA Menards Series, Ty Gibbs amassed an astounding 10 wins. Additionally, apart from a disappointing 27th at Talladega, he never finished outside the Top 5. In fact, his lowest finishing position was 4th, which came at the Elko Speedway and at Daytona.

Now, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver will be aiming to continue his good form into the 2022 season. Who knows, it could soon be a matter of time before he eventually reaches the Cup Series.
