In an attempt to support his earlier statement about the Xfinity Series, Kyle Larson pointed at Ty Gibbs as an example.

NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Larson stirred controversy this week after bluntly criticizing the current state of the NASCAR Xfinity Series drivers and claimed they are not good enough for the top-tier Cup level.

As Larson pointed out, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver has yet to win in 96 races in the series. He does have 13 top-five finishes, including his most recent result at Bristol where he finished third for his best finish of the 2025 campaign. Larson and Gibbs are off this week and return to Cup Series action on April 27 at Talladega.
