Ty Gibbs Likely to Finish Much Worse Than He Starts
Ty Gibbs's historical record at Kansas is quite similar to the early record of his predecessor, Kyle Busch, when Kansas was generally regarded as his best track. Despite the consistent speed his grandfather's team has shown at the track, Gibbs has tended to qualify well and consistently finish worse than he starts. He did finish fifth in last year's fall race after starting second, but aside from that, he only finished better than 28th once. Since he is starting eighth and is very likely to lose positions from his starting position and score negative place-differential points, you likely don't want to start him, even though he is in a Joe Gibbs Racing car and is very inexpensive with a $7,400 salary.
