Ty Gibbs wins at Bristol, first Cup win

For the first time in his career, Ty Gibbs was a winner in the NASCAR Cup Series. Gibbs took the checkered flag Sunday at Bristol Motor Speedway, beating Ryan Blaney to the start-finish line in overtime by 0.055 seconds, making it the closest margin of victory at Bristol since April 1991.

Gibbs inherited the lead following the Lap 477 caution, his team making the call to stay out rather than pit with the leaders in Blaney and Kyle Larson. Both Blaney and Larson had fresh tires and the objective for Gibbs would be to hold them off.

But with four laps remaining in the race, another caution came out. Gibbs had to hold them off on the green-white-checkered. Blaney gave him everything he could handle, but Gibbs was able to bring his No. 54 Toyota across the line first.

“It’s awesome. It’s awesome when you can do it with great people,” Gibbs told FOX Sports after the race. “To be in this position is great. I would love for my father to have seen this, but he knew it was going to happen. Just a great day for us. The 54 boys didn’t give up. Pit crew was amazing. … Very honored to be in this situation.”
