Hamlin Turns JGR Teammate Ty Gibbs After Bell Contact at New Hampshire

Team radios captured fierce criticism of Gibbs' move, followed by his defiant 'Game on' response.

Overview

  • On Lap 110 at New Hampshire, Denny Hamlin spun Ty Gibbs in Turns 1–2, sending the No. 54 into the outside wall; Gibbs later returned to the race multiple laps down after repairs.
  • The confrontation followed earlier contact between Gibbs and Christopher Bell during a tight on-track battle involving Joe Gibbs Racing teammates.
  • Moments before the spin, Gibbs radioed that he "won't take anymore crap from my teammate," signaling rising frustration.
  • Hamlin questioned over the radio whether Gibbs understood their championship push and said people at JGR are "afraid to talk to him."
  • The incident intensifies internal strain at Joe Gibbs Racing, complicated by Gibbs' status as team owner Joe Gibbs' grandson and his history of past teammate run-ins.
