For 23XI Racing, Ty Gibbs was supposed to drive the No. 23 car, but Daniel Hemric took his place because of what 23XI called “a family emergency.” Coy Gibbs had just finished a hard week with his 20-year-old son, who won the Xfinity title on Saturday and is expected to replace Kyle Busch at JGR soon.
Coy was a linebacker at Stanford from 1991 to 1994 and worked as an offensive quality control assistant in the NFL when his father was Washington’s coach for the second time.
