Coy Randall Gibbs (December 9, 1972 – November 6, 2022)

Washington Redskins, and co-owner of Joe Gibbs Racing. He was the son of Joe Gibbs, five-time NASCAR Cup Series championship-winning owner and Pro Football Hall of Famer.[4]

Football

Gibbs played college football as a linebacker at Stanford University from 1991 to 1994.[5] He led the Cardinal in tackles as a senior. In 2004, after his father was re-hired as the Redskins coach, he joined the team as an offensive quality control assistant,[6] serving in that capacity until 2007.[7]

Racing career

Gibbs made his NASCAR debut in the

Busch Series, nailing down two top-ten finishes and being named runner-up in the Rookie of the Year race to David Stremme. He retired from racing at the conclusion of the season.[citation needed
]

Kevin Harvick incident

One of Gibbs' more notable moments in NASCAR came in 2002, when he and

Busch Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway two weeks earlier,[9] the incident with Gibbs resulted in Harvick being suspended from the Cup Series race at Martinsville one day later.[10] Harvick was also fined $35,000 and was put into another probation for the rest of the year.[11]

Motorcycle racing team

In August 2007, Gibbs announced the formation of

supercross championships.[12][13] The race shop for JGRMX was less than a 1 mile away from the NASCAR Cup Series teams located in Huntersville, North Carolina.[12] Gibbs headed up the operation along with help from motocross industry veteran David Evans.[citation needed
]

Personal life and death

Originally from Fayetteville, Arkansas, Gibbs lived in Cornelius, North Carolina with his wife Heather and their four children, sons Ty, Case, and Jett, and daughter Elle.[citation needed]

Gibbs died in his sleep on November 6, 2022, at the age of 49, the night during which his son Ty won the 2022 NASCAR Xfinity Series championship.[1][2] The cause of his death has not been announced. His death was announced just prior to the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race, and a moment of silence was held in his honor.[14] Multiple drivers, including Christopher Bell, Denny Hamlin, Kyle Busch, and eventual race winner Joey Logano, a former Joe Gibbs Racing driver, paid tribute to Gibbs before and after the race, with Logano dedicating his race victory and championship to him.[15] The death prompted Ty to withdraw from the Cup Series season finale scheduled for the next day; he was replaced by Daniel Hemric for the race.[16]
