Coy Gibbs, the vice chairman of Joe Gibbs Racing for his NFL and NASCAR Hall of Fame father, died Sunday morning just hours after his own son Ty Gibbs won the Xfinity Series championship. He was 49.

Ty Gibbs had been scheduled to drive the No. 23 Toyota for 23XI Racing but was replaced by Daniel Hemric for what 23XI called “a family emergency.”

On Saturday, shortly before Ty Gibbs won his title, Hamlin said it had been a difficult week at JGR. He had tweeted after Ty Gibbs crashed Jones “I miss J.D.” and explained he was referring to the atmosphere at JGR established by J.D. Gibbs, which he called a “tight family unit.” Joe Gibbs and Coy Gibbs spent the ensuing days defending their young driver, who was resoundingly booed at both Martinsville and Phoenix after his back-to-back victories. Ty Gibbs made his own humbling apology tour before holding off JR Motorsports driver Noah Gragson for the championship.
