If Ty Gibbs' Team Executes a Better Strategy, he Could Win at Talladega
Ty Gibbs starts 18th at Talladega on Sunday, a track where he has never finished better than 13th. However, he had a great deal of speed in the spring race, leading a race-high 32 laps before the extra fuel he burnt running out front caused many other drivers to jump him after the final exchange of pit stops. Gibbs also led 32 laps at Atlanta, so he is becoming a skillful drafter. Whether he contends for the win will almost certainly depend on whether Toyota has the right strategy for this race, since it seems like whoever leads after the final round of pit stops will win. Austin Cindric utilized a killer strategy to get out of the pits first in the spring race after botching the strategy at Daytona and Talladega, so if Gibbs' crew chief Tyler Allen is paying attention, he might be able to replicate that feat, but don't count on it.
