Gibbs to Toyota
In a move that had been anticipated for several weeks, Joe Gibbs Racing has made it official and signed on to be the #1 team for Toyota. In 2008 Toyota will now have a top notch team to field it's Camry's with three of the best drivers on the Cup circuit, Tony Stewart, Denny Hamlin and newcomer Kyle Busch.
In what was characterised as a squeeze play from the Chevrolet stable, JGR sited the fact that it was tough for Chevy to support four of the top teams of the sport. With Hendrick, Childress and DEI in the mix, I guess the Gibbs organization felt the move would be the best long term deal for them. Obviously Toyota has deep pockets and needed a strong front running team with a winning history in the most competitive form of American motor racing.
This move now gives Toyota what it needs to win races and eventually a championship. The next thing JGR needs to do is sign Stewart and Hamlin to long term deals so that there will be no questions to be answered, either on a driver or sponsor level. The chemistry is there for a winning combination and in this writers opinion, JGR will be a bidding for the number 1 position within the next three years. Let me know what you think.
