🇺🇸 Ty Gibbs

Ty Gibbs is an elite professional driver competing full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series at a Racer Rating of 6,607, which places him among the established winners at the very top level. His record across 154 Cup starts from 2022 to 2026 shows two wins and fourteen podiums, with an average finish of P15.4 in a field that includes multiple series champions and some of the strongest drivers in motorsport. He has demonstrated consistency against a formidable peer group; he holds a winning head-to-head record against Kyle Larson, a two-time Cup champion rated at the elite level, across their 160 shared races, and has finished ahead of Denny Hamlin and Ryan Blaney repeatedly despite both being significantly stronger drivers by rating. His competitive standing is further evidenced by his prior success in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, where he won the 2022 championship with twelve wins and twenty-four podiums from sixty-six starts. That record places him at the sharp end of one of the strongest one-make professional fields in North America and reflects his ability to beat a national-level field of professionals consistently.[1]

Gibbs has also raced sparingly in Trans-Am TA2, with three starts producing no results of note. His head-to-head records in the Cup Series reveal a mixed pattern against the elite group around him: he leads Noah Gragson, the 2022 Xfinity champion, substantially across 183 races, but trails Josh Berry, a semi-professional, and Austin Cindric, the two-time Xfinity champion, in their respective matchups. Against AJ Allmendinger, a Gold-graded professional, the record is split evenly despite Allmendinger's higher rating. His progression from Xfinity, where he was clearly the standout driver capable of winning on demand, to Cup, where wins have been rarer, reflects the substantial step in competition level between the series rather than any decline in his own calibre.[2]
