Road Course racing is a stark departure from the usual, oval track racing seen in NASCAR. Especially with cars designed to turn left for over 2 hours, racing on a road course poses a big challenge for the drivers. And Ty Gibbs, who has already developed quite a questionable reputation for himself, failed at this challenge. Unfortunately, Hendrick Motorsports driver, William Byron, was a victim.

Gibbs was putting a lot of pressure on most cars on Saturday. However, after the restart, he saw himself fighting William Byron for the lean, and this was when disaster struck.

Byron and Gibbs went side to side, and the Joe Gibbs Racing driver put a little too much pressure on Byron, causing them to spin out.

And defending Xfinity Series Champion, Noah Gragson, spoke against Ty’s move very bluntly in the post-race interview with Bob Pockrass.

In fact, the JR Motorsports driver revealed Byron wasn’t the only victim.

Gragson said, “What he did to the #17 [William Byron] he did the same thing to us throughout the middle of the race. You would’ve thought he learned on the #17 there at the end. But luckily we didn’t wreck with him, we almost wrecked.”

He then told us what he told Ty Gibbs, “I just told him like, ‘You’re better than that.'”

Clearly, this caused many people to call out Ty Gibbs for his driving style, and plenty of fans to got annoyed. But the JGR driver doesn’t think he did anything wrong.

Ty Gibbs Feels What He Did To William Byron Was Not His Fault

Naturally, making another driver spin out while fighting for the lead would cause the NASCAR fans to be quite pissed. But Gibbs doesn’t think he did anything wrong. He believes everyone was already stuck together, and he did what he had to.

Gibbs said, “I feel like that was my one shot because I feel like we’re both equally fast. And I feel like I didn’t buy them to lose that gap in the bus stop and I don’t know if I’m ever gonna get that back for the rest of the race. So just trying to go for it. I feel like that was win-or-lose right there. And if you would go back and look, they just were all pinched up on that curb and I just got loose.”

In fact, when asked whether he thinks it’s his fault, he replied, “I mean it’s racing,”I just want to go for the win that’s what I was going for we went in there side by side. And I went for it didn’t work out, but sometimes that happens.”

Very interesting response from Gibbs indeed. But what do you think? Was he really at fault? Or it’s nothing more than a mere racing incident? Let us know in the comments.
