Congratulations to Kyle Busch for bringing Joe Gibbs Racing their fourth NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship. After a vicious wreck earlier this year in Daytona, Busch began the season in a hospital bed, but he ended it with the ultimate comeback Sunday night by finding his way to Victory Lane and winning his first career Sprint Cup title.
The Joe Gibbs Racing mission statement posted in their lobby says:
Our goal is to field for our sponsors and fans competitive race cars on a consistent basis with the goal of winning races and championships. Our expectation is that we will be able to see in our growth and success things that would never have been accomplished except by the direct intervention of God.
I like that. Congratulations Kyle Busch. Props to Joe Gibbs. But GLORY to God!
Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) is an American professional stock car racing racing team owned and operated by former Washington Redskins coach Joe Gibbs, who first started racing on the NASCAR circuit in 1991, and J. D. Gibbs, his son.
Headquartered in Huntersville, North Carolina, roughly 10 miles (16 km) northwest of Charlotte Motor Speedway, the team has amassed four Sprint Cup championships since the year 2000.
For the team’s first sixteen seasons, JGR ran cars from General Motors. During that period, the team won their three championships, two in Pontiac Grand Prixes and one in a Chevrolet Monte Carlo. Despite this, Joe Gibbs Racing announced during the 2007 season that they would be ending their arrangement with GM at the end of the year and begin running Toyotas the following season. This partnership would eventually bring Toyota their first Sprint Cup when Kyle Busch became champion in 2015.
