HAMPTON — Young racing talent Ty Gibbs didn’t earn his first NASCAR Cup Series victory in Michigan on Monday, but a strong third place effort and a repeat winner were the next best thing for his playoff chances.
“It was a great day. We have kind of had a yard sale the last three races prior and it was really good to have a great day, with a great points day and a great finish,” said Gibbs, who is attempting to make the playoffs in just his second full-time season at NASCAR’s top level. “(We were) in contention to win and missed out by a little bit, but it was a good improvement for sure.”
