In his second season, Ty Gibbs remains very fast, as he ranks fifth in Cup Series speed with a speed percentile of 71.96, and he backed that up at Charlotte with his first-ever pole and his second-fastest lap this year. However, he ultimately finished sixth, both in the race and in his speed ranking. Although Gibbs already has consistent speed, he doesn't seem to be good at holding the lead for an entire run, which is why he'll probably take longer to win his first race than most fans expect. Sunday night's race is a case in point. Despite winning the pole, he lost the lead on the track (twice to William Byron and once to Ross Chastain) three times without making any passes for the lead. Gibbs will likely be a prolific winner, but he will likely need to take another step up in to reach that point.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
