During the off-season, Joe Gibbs Racing promoted Ty Gibbs from Xfinity Series to the Cup Series following his impressive performance in the second-tier series. The 20-year-old has one of the more impressive resumes of any young driver going into NASCAR’s top-level series.<\/p>\n

Ty Gibbs recently shared his thoughts on goals for his first Cup Series season. He also mentioned how he intends to approach the upcoming races.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Motorsports.com, Gibbs said:<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, I don\u2019t really try to look at expectations. It doesn\u2019t really bother me. I work as hard as I can and I want to do the best I can every single weekend. If my best is winning the race, then it\u2019s winning the race. If it\u2019s finishing 10th, then it\u2019s finishing 10th.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He continued:<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t go into any race and say, \u2018I can\u2019t win,\u2019 unless we get damage or something like that happens. I\u2019ll dream as big as I can dream and keep working as hard as I can.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In his rookie season, Ty Gibbs<\/a> is driving the #54 Toyota for the team owned by his grandfather, Joe Gibbs.<\/p>\n

Gibbs has achieved huge success in NASCAR\u2019s<\/a> lower divisions. He won the ARCA Menards Series in 2021 with the help of 10 wins. Following a year as a full-time Xfinity driver, he won seven races, including the season finale race at Phoenix Raceway, and clinched the first series title.<\/p>\n\n

Ty Gibbs spoke about the differences in competition between Xfinity Series and Cup Series <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Speaking about the competition difference between Xfinity and Cup Series, Ty Gibbs said racing at Xfinity is a little harder. He claimed that it’s a little bit more respectful in the Cup Series. He feels that Cup drivers are more mature and talented compared to Xfinity drivers.<\/p>\n

Gibbs said:<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s just a different style of racing. I think the racing is a little harder in Xfinity. In Cup, it\u2019s a little bit more respectful, I think. The Cup guys are a lot more mature, a lot more talented.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He continued:<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I also think the Cup guys look more at the bigger picture. I think looking at the bigger picture is very important and that\u2019s something I\u2019ve learned and will keep learning the longer I\u2019m in the series.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ty Gibbs finished P22 in the recently concluded Pennzoil 400<\/a> at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.<\/p>\n
