NASCAR Cup Series driver Corey LaJoie predicts that there might be a major shift in the Joe Gibbs Racing garage. Considering that Kyle Busch is hanging onto a thin rope, there might be a chance that Gibb’s grandson, Ty Gibbs, takes his seat.
During his podcast, LaJoie said, “I’m gonna go ahead and say it right now ladies and gentlemen, he’s gonna be driving the number 18 car next year in the cup series,” he briefly pauses to whistle and then continues, “go ahead take her to the bank.”
He then adds, “He’s certainly capable, he continues to get better each and every week, I’m glad I finished directly behind him this week because I finished one spot behind him every week now I would love to finish 11th.”
Corey LaJoie could be right about that chance that Joe Gibbs might prefer to bring in his grandson over someone who hasn’t been performing so well this year.
