Joe Gibbs Racing embarks on 35th anniversary season in NASCAR in 2026
Joe Gibbs Racing, the winningest team of all-time across NASCAR’s three national series, is set for its 35th season in 2026. The organization has a variety of activations planned to celebrate the team’s history, fans, partners, and the Gibbs family.
Over the team’s history, Joe Gibbs Racing has earned 448 victories in NASCAR national series competition, including 227 NASCAR Cup Series wins and 221 NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series wins. JGR’s pedigree includes championships with Kyle Busch, Bobby Labonte, and Tony Stewart in the Cup Series, and O’Reilly Auto Parts Series championships with Busch, Ty Gibbs, Daniel Hemric, and Daniel Suárez. The team also helped launch the careers of other standout drivers like Christopher Bell, Denny Hamlin, Erik Jones and Joey Logano.
“It’s hard to believe we’re celebrating our 35th season,” said Dave Alpern, President of Joe Gibbs Racing. “What started as Coach’s dream on a piece of paper has grown into something truly special. From day one, he’s said you win with people—and that’s been true every step of the way. We’re excited to celebrate this milestone with our JGR family, past and present drivers, and all the partners and fans who make all of it possible.”
This season, JGR 35th Anniversary branding will be displayed on all of the team’s entries in the NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and the ARCA Menards Series, as well as on team equipment and apparel.
One significant event to celebrate the anniversary will be Joe Gibbs Racing Fan Day returning to the team’s Huntersville, North Carolina, headquarters for the first time since 2019. The event on Friday, October 9, will include appearances from current and past JGR drivers, sponsor activations, and more. Additional details will be announced at a later date.
JGR will also reward fans with unprecedented promotions throughout the year, including access to team members, unique experiences both at the track and at the shop, and chances to win one-of-a-kind pieces of memorabilia from the organization’s history.
