Ty Gibbs

Pit Lane Interview

Q. Really strong day, Ty. Did you think you had a shot at it there late?

TY GIBBS: Yeah, I feel like we definitely were in contention for sure. I needed to get up sooner off of two to clear the 24. Just missed it by a little bit. After that, it takes a lap to get momentum.

I appreciate my guys bringing me a great car, Interstate Batteries, Monster Energy, Toyota. Thank you to everybody that's a part of this deal.

Definitely a little frustrating, but we'll take it. It was a good day. Thanks to everybody that helps my program out.

Q. You came into this race 18 points above the cut line. You leave 39 points above the cut line heading to Daytona. Make you sleep better?

TY GIBBS: Yeah, for sure. It definitely is good to have a good points day.

Definitely wish we could have won and locked ourselves in. Winning usually takes care of everything. Thankful to be here and thankful to have a good day.
