THE SHELDON CREED TEAM
ABOUT JOE GIBBS RACING
Founded in 1991 JGR employs more than 450 employees in its state-of-the-art facility in Huntersville, NC. The team is led by five-time NASCAR Cup Series Champion, three-time Super Bowl Champion, and NASCAR Hall of Famer coach Joe Gibbs.
For the team's first sixteen seasons, JGR ran cars from General Motors. During that period, the team won their first three championships: two in Pontiac Grand Prixs and one in a Chevrolet Monte Carlo. Joe Gibbs Racing announced during the 2007 season that they would be ending their arrangement with GM and begin running Toyotas the following season. This partnership would eventually bring Toyota their first Premier series championship when Kyle Busch won in 2015.
In the NASCAR Cup Series, the team currently fields four full-time entries: the No. 11 Toyota Camry for Denny Hamlin, the No. 19 Camry for Martin Truex Jr., the No. 20 Camry for Christopher Bell, and the No. 54 Camry for Ty Gibbs. In the Xfinity Series, the team currently fields three full-time entries: the No. 18 Toyota GR Supra for Sheldon Creed, the No. 19 & No. 20 Supra for several drivers, and the No. 81 Supra for Chandler Smith.
The team also has a strong driver development program, grooming future Cup winners Joey Logano and Aric Almirola and winning one championship in the Camping World East Series (now known as the ARCA Menards East Series) with Logano. The team also won the 2021 ARCA Menards Series championship with Ty Gibbs. The organization teamed up with former NFL player Reggie White in 2004 to create a diversity program, fielding drivers such as Almirola, Marc Davis, and Bubba Wallace, and forming the basis for NASCAR's own Drive for Diversity program.
