Frontstretch Quotes

An Interview with:

Q. Coach, what is this like?

JOE GIBBS: Is one of my best experiences. Honestly when Denny won, honoring J.D.'s life, was such a huge deal.

When I think about Coy, he brought Ty up the entire time. I know he's probably watching. So I just want to thank so many people. It starts with God. He's blessed us and our family. Just really, really can't say enough.

TY GIBBS: This is the man right here. I've never seen somebody work so hard in my life. Him and my mom, I come to the shop at 6 a.m. or 7 p.m., there's nobody there, but they are always there. They work their asses off.

He's a great role model. I wouldn't be here unless it was for him.

JOE GIBBS: Just appreciate everything so much (laughter). I don't know if I'm still on here or not.

Hey, I want to thank Tyler, Cole Pearn, Grayson, all of our guys on the team. They did so much for this. Everybody back at Joe Gibbs Racing. Thank all so much for us being able to enjoy this. It's one of the great blessings I've had in life.
