Coy Randall Gibbs (born December 9, 1972) is a former NASCAR driver and assistant coach with the Washington Redskins. His father is Joe Gibbs, Four-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Championship owner and Pro Football Hall of Famer. Originally from Fayetteville, Arkansas, Gibbs currently lives in Cornelius, North Carolina with his wife Heather and their four children, sons Ty, Case and Jett plus daughter Elle.
Racing career
Gibbs made his NASCAR debut in the Craftsman Truck Series in 2000, sharing the driving duties of the #18 Chevrolet with his brother J.D. In 2001, he began racing a full-time schedule, posting two top-five finishes, and then finishing 10th in points the following year. In 2003, he replaced Mike McLaughlin in the NASCAR Busch Series, nailing down two top-ten finishes and was named runner-up in the Rookie of the Year honors, despite running the full Busch Series schedule unlike award winner, David Stremme. He retired from racing at the conclusion of the season.
Kevin Harvick incident
In 2002 Gibbs, driving for Joe Gibbs Racing, made slight contact with Richard Childress Racing driver Kevin Harvick in a Truck Series race in Martinsville Speedway. A few laps later on a restart Harvick made contact resulting in Gibbs spinning around, ending his race winning hopes. Gibbs was running 3rd at the time and believed he could have won the race. NASCAR reviewed radio comments by Harvick and parked Harvick for the remainder of the weekend and fined Harvick $35,000 for having intentionally wrecked Gibbs.[1] NASCAR determined that Harvick had violated his probation he was put on a month prior for an altercation with Greg Biffle.[2]
