Since the second half of the 2024 season, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver has been struggling to land a strong performance. He secured a P13 finish in the qualifying session for the Martinsville Speedway race, but an incident on the track cost him a top-ten finish.

During the first short track race of the 2025 season, Ty Gibbs and 23XI Racing driver Tyler Reddick competed fiercely. With 101 laps to go, Gibbs was running in 11th place when Reddick made a maneuver. This resulted in contact between the two drivers, spinning Gibbs out. Zane Smith took a picture from the incident and shared it on his Instagram with the caption:
