Joe Gibbs | Team InterstateJOE GIBBS
A successful organization starts with its people. This has long been the philosophy of Joe Gibbs. It helped carry him to three Super Bowl championships and the Pro Football Hall of Fame as head coach of the NFL’s Washington Redskins and has been a defining principle behind building Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) into one of NASCAR’s most successful multi-team racing organizations.

JGR has experienced amazing success and growth since Gibbs founded the operation in 1991. Beginning its first season of racing in 1992 with just 18 crew members and JGR now employs close to 450 people.  Despite the immense growth, the company remains defined by the same principles of its founder: Integrity, a relentless work ethic, determination, perseverance and team building. Those principles have been the driving force behind JGR’s success including over 160 overall wins in NASCAR, three NASCAR Cup Series championships and back-to-back NASCAR Nationwide Series Championships.
