Joe Gibbs Racing lifts driver restrictions to allow participation in various motorsport events
Joe Gibbs Racing has lifted its restrictions on NASCAR drivers, allowing them to compete in various motorsport events, including dirt racing. Previously, the team limited participation to reduce injury risks and maintain focus on NASCAR commitments. The new policy introduces a formal process for drivers to request permission to race in other events. JGR founder Joe Gibbs stated that drivers can now seek approval to participate in races outside of NASCAR. Chase Briscoe will join JGR in 2025, taking over the No. 19 car. Other drivers, including Christopher Bell and Ty Gibbs, have expressed excitement about the change and their interest in dirt racing.
