Ty Gibbs Finishes Second at Chicago and Advances in In-Season Challenge
Ty Gibbs had one of his better races of his career at the Chicago Street Course yesterday. After starting ninth, he remained in the top ten for the entire race with the exception of his pit stops late in Stage 1 and Stage 2 to flip both of those stages. He caught a significant break when Chase Briscoe and Tyler Reddick both pitted on lap 61 even though they might've been able to make it on fuel, which elevated Gibbs from fourth to second where he remained the rest of the race. Shortly after the ensuing restart, Briscoe had a flat tire, which effectively ended his race while Reddick's attempt to get around Gibbs was thwarted by a last-lap caution for Cody Ware's crash. Although the result helped Gibbs advance in the In-Season Challenge over A.J. Allmendinger, it did little for him in the playoff picture as he still almost certainly needs to win to make the playoffs
