Shortly after a shoving match turned into an all-out brawl on pit road, Nascar Xfinity Series driver Ty Gibbs wondered aloud why everyone seems to hate him.
“I don’t get it”, Gibbs said while keeping his helmet on, “why do people dislike me? I mean I’m just like everyone else—just a kid trying to plow his way through the competition with my chrome horn and top-notch equipment—who wouldn’t like that?”
The youthful Gibbs has picked up a reputation as a “dirty driver” in the past twelve months due to actions that he seems to think are warranted.
“Sure, I race people hard”, the helmeted Gibbs said, “but I need to show that I belong. I’m sure everyone can related to being the grandson of an NFL Hall of Fame coach turned millionaire race team owner.”
Gibbs, for his part, showed little desire to change his ways.
“If someone wants to punch me in the mouth for being aggressive, then take your best shot”, Gibbs said while gesturing at the lower part of his helmet. “But for all the legacy kids out there who’ve been bullied for bullying others in their professions, I’ll stand tall for all of us.”
For his part, Sam Mayer—the other participant in said brawl—said he will keep flying the flag for sons of obscure IRL drivers.
