Ty Gibbs Gains his Fourth Top-Five Finish of the Season at Martinsville
Joe Gibbs Racing driver Ty Gibbs placed fourth in the Cook Out 400 at Martinsville Speedway. Gibbs began the race from the same position and had one of the fastest cars in the field. In the first stage, Gibbs maintained his starting position throughout the stage and finished it with seven stage points. In the second stage, the No. 54 Toyota team improved Gibbs' car to the point that he drove up to second, but did not have the speed to get past Denny Hamlin, who proved to be the dominant driver of the day. Gibbs finished the second stage in second place and obtained nine more stage points. In the final stage of the race, Gibbs lost ground to Joey Logano and eventually Chase Elliott, who took advantage of a pit strategy to gain track position under two late race cautions to get past Gibbs. In the late parts of the final stage, Gibbs did not have enough speed to get past Elliott, Hamlin, and Logano and settled for fourth, leading to his fourth top-5 finish of the year. The No. 54 Toyota driver is now sixth in points after seven races this season.
