In an odd coincidence, all three NASCAR Cup Series drivers named Tyler advanced to the final four of NASCAR's In-Season Challenge tournament bracket. While Tyler Reddick is not really a surprise, both Ty Dillon and Ty Gibbs definitely were as Dillon isn't a good driver and Gibbs isn't very good yet. Nonetheless, Gibbs benefited mightily from the fact that his first-round opponent was the extremely mediocre Justin Haley while the second and third rounds took place on road courses, which are Gibbs's best track type. Gibbs ran in the top ten virtually all day before beating Zane Smith and finishing seventh to advance to the semifinal against Reddick. Smith made a play for the upset by staying out of the pits on the caution for a loose tire, but Gibbs passed him on fresher tires as Smith plummeted through the pack. He also became a slight contender to advance to the playoffs on points as he now sits 60 points behind bubble driver Bubba Wallace, but he's still unlikely to make the playoffs.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
