However, Joe should really think if he need another year of maturing because you have to think that Toyota has to be furious about his actions. They went from a 50% chance to win the championship to a 25% chance in one lap. Seems like RCR had no trouble finding a sponsor for Kyle by the way so the sponsorship thing doesn’t hold much weight.

Jones wasn't angry, he wasn't screaming and swearing, he was hurt, and he felt betrayed by his own. That's the kind of betrayal that gets to fester for a whole week. He gets to roll into PHX and see all of the fan fare and media attention that the final 4 drivers receive, and he gets to see what Bibbs DENIED him of. That makes blood boil and brings that betrayal right to the top. His own teammate smoked him for no reason with nothing to gain, and his own car owner did nothing about it. He could give 2 shits about that bridge as he's never going to need to cross it again. He's moving over to JRM next year, he doesn't care who's feelings he hurts or who's equipment he destroys doing it. What a nice gift to bring to your new team like helping them get a title. I hope he snuffs Bibbs into the fence early and takes that car out totally. Then I hope he takes his own car back to the garage, gets out, and walks away.

[@joelcheek3494]

The beginning of the end at JGR under the current leadership may have already occurred. JGR is in a tight box. Poor judgement by the principals put Ty in the driver's seat (nepotism). Poor leadership resulted in a failure to get Ty on the right path before he made a move that SEVERELY damaged both his career and JGR's prospects for the future. If they keep him, they will lose fans, sponsors, drivers, and crew members because no one will want to be identified with Ty and the team or work in that environment.

Maybe a second time around he'd appreciate the opportunity instead of "expect" it all to be handed to him. He has taken "entitled " to a whole new level. I'm old school fan from the 70's. I remember the concern about Bobby Hillin being "entitled" at 18yrs old driving in Cup (1982 or so) for the deep pocket Stavola Brothers with next to none experience, and the old guard was worried he'd be a danger to himself and others.

C-Bell is gonna be their only driver who doesn’t get booed every week. They’re already having problems with getting sponsors. At some point you’re gonna have to try and sell those sponsors on your drivers over the Elliotts, Larsons and now Chastains of the sport. Suarez, Bubba, Blaney, Gragson, all infinitely more marketable. Even Alex Bowman is at least likeable. It’s like Gibbs is becoming the douche-brigade.

#1 - Joe Gibbs said there has to be a consequence. The only thing that will work is if he keeps Ty in xfinity another year, like he said at the beginning of the year. The other interview of Joe, he said they needed to "walk through this together" and bunch of other blather. So I'm not holding my breath. #2 - If I were Menards (sponsor of the JGR 19 car) I would already be on the phone with Joe cancelling next year's sponsorship.

Dale you had a chance to be a "Ty" or so was the impression back then. Yet, when faced with those circumstances you chose a path that gained the respect of all the other drivers, teams, and fans. You set the example that the "Ty's" of the world choose to ignore.

Great insight Jr., as usual….as for what’s going on inside the Ty Gibbs camp, Joe Gibbs’ interview was very telling. He said absolutely nothing concrete about how they were handling Ty…He talked for 5 minutes saying nothing….To be fair, I didn’t expect him to come out and give us all the details, but he could have been a little more forthcoming about his thoughts on the move and how he planned to address it.

[@arturo2017]

Joe Gibbs should park him from the top 3 series and arca for 2023 because the ramifications are deeper than just the 19 car. That's a 50% championship winning chance gone for JGR's xfinity program. Sure you can say 25% now since its 3 JRM cars but realistically there's a ton of guys in the field that want to pull his card and may not let that happen. I think he should be placed in a back marker team in trucks or xfinity if he stays. Something to make him appreciate the position he is literally born in. Doubt that's gonna happen though. Just like i doubt Brandon Jones will wreck him next week.

[@vettepilot427]

The thing that I see, is that drivers and owners forget that they're actually driving the SPONSOR'S car. We're already in an age when you no longer have a full year sponsor. They're getting harder and harder to find. There's not a line of sponsors waiting to get in the sport anymore. Fact is, Joe Gibbs doesn't go racing without a sponsor. Sponsors don't pay for torn up race cars, especially from a teammate. If the owners can't handle their drivers and sponsors can't see their cars finish the race because of bad attitudes, retaliation, and video game antics, the sport has a very big problem. The problem will come from lack of sponsorship and therefore funding. The best thing that NASCAR can do is be serious about enforcing discipline and competition across the board.

[@davidbrooks5245]

Ty Gibbs will never have a true teammate after that move. He clearly showed he don't care about anyone but himself.

[@pp3k3jamail]

Teammates in nascar is dumb anyway every driver should fend for themselves and this is one of the reasons why because a lot of drivers are not going to be content to sit back and just run 2nd. If I was a nascar driver I wouldn't want no teammate. I wouldn't want to be like oh I can't do this move because my teammate is right there. Or I can't do the bumper run like Jeff Gordon or Jeremy Mayfield because my teammate is right there and he might get collected in the wreak. You are restricted when you have a teammate on a race track it makes no sense.
