Although Ty Gibbs was eliminated from the playoffs, he can still salvage his season with a win at Talladega, but the Joe Gibbs Racing cars have been slower than you'd expect on drafting tracks lately. Although his teammates Christopher Bell and Denny Hamlin have been two of this season's most dominant drivers, three out of four Gibbs drivers including them failed to lead in the last two drafting races at Daytona and Atlanta. However, the exception was Gibbs, who made two passes for the lead at Atlanta and led 37 laps before Joey Logano snookered him. He also made three passes for the lead at Talladega in the spring 2023 race and starts a decent 15th. He seems to be intensely motivated to win, which could benefit him. However, it's more likely that his Toyota won't be able to keep up with Ford's speed.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
