TC Daily Pit Stop: Friday, January 26th, 2024
Joe Gibbs Racing No. 19 Xfinity Team to Operate Without Owner Points at Daytona
With Joe Gibbs Racing expanding its NASCAR Xfinity Series operation to four full-time teams in 2024, the No. 19 Toyota GR Supra — which will feature several drivers over the course of the year — will be point-less heading to Daytona.
Steve DeSouza tells TobyChristie.com that the No. 19 will travel to the season-opening event at Daytona without owner points, giving Chandler Smith and the No. 81 Toyota GR Supra points to fall back on.
With Ryan Truex winning at Dover, the No. 19 would be able to qualify into the event by NASCAR’s rainout procedures. Should Truex, Ty Gibbs, Aric Almirola, or John Hunter Nemechek pilot the entry, they would also have a PWP to fall back on.
