Coy Gibbs cause of death:

Coy Gibbs passed away suddenly in his sleep. Coy Gibbs cause of death was not revealed yet. Coy Gibbs, Joe Gibbs Racing’s vice chairman and chief operations officer, was in the Phoenix area on Saturday night to see his 20-year-old son Ty Gibbs’ victory in the Xfinity Series championship at Phoenix Raceway in Avondale, Arizona.

After crashing teammate Brandon Jones at a race last week and depriving him of a chance to win the season championship, Ty Gibbs came under fire. After the race on Saturday, Coy Gibbs claimed that his son “doubled down and did his job” in the Xfinity Series finals after making “a tremendous mistake last week.”

Coy Gibbs remarked at the time that it was enjoyable to witness his son, one of their four children, win the race.

NASCAR corporation vice chairman death:

Joe Jackson Gibbs is an American auto racing team Joe Gibbs Racing team’s owner and former professional football coach. Both of Joe Gibbs’ sons have passed away. J.D. Gibbs passed away in 2019 at the age of 49 from a degenerative neurological condition. Coy Gibbs took over as vice chairman of the family-run NASCAR corporation from his elder brother.

In Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series finale at Phoenix Raceway, Denny Hamlin of Joe Gibbs Racing and Michael Jordan’s 23XI Racing were planning to field a car with Ty Gibbs behind the wheel. In the wake of his father’s passing, he backed out of that task, and Daniel Hemric took his place, placing 17th.

Before the Cup Series race on Sunday, NASCAR conducted a moment of silence in Coy Gibbs’ honor. Christopher Bell, a driver for Joe Gibbs Racing, was one of the four contenders for the season championship on Sunday; he came in 10th.

“You wake up this morning and you’re racing for a championship you’re happy, you’re elated and then your world comes crashing down,” Bell stated after the race, which was won by Joey Logano, who also took the season title. “Whenever you get news like, it definitely puts into perspective that there’s more to this, outside of racing,” Bell added. “The whole Gibbs family is in all of our prayers, and I’m thinking of them.”

Before assisting his father in founding Joe Gibbs Racing Motocross in 2007, Gibbs had a brief racing career that included two years in the then-NASCAR Busch Series and three in the NASCAR Trucks Series. When J.D. Gibbs, the parent company’s president at the time, started experiencing neurological problems in 2014, Coy Gibbs was given more responsibility.

Coy Gibbs was born in Fayetteville, Arkansas. His wife Heather, and their four children resided in Cornelius, North Carolina.
