The No. 54 driver qualified for the 2024 playoffs on points. He competed in the postseason along with his four Cup Series teammates (Denny Hamlin, Christopher Bell, and Martin Truex Jr.) and was eliminated along with Truex Jr. after the final race of the Round of 12 at Bristol Motor Speedway.

So far in his full-time Cup career, Ty Gibbs scored 12 top-5 and 22 top-10 finishes. The 22-year-old driver secured two pole positions this year at Charlotte Motor Speedway and Pocono Raceway. He also led more laps than Cup Series veterans Joey Logano and Kyle Busch this season with 394 laps led.
