Gayle, who has been crew chief for Ty Gibbs for a couple of seasons, is no stranger to JGR as a team and a veteran driver like Hamlin.

His tenure with the team started in 2003 as an engineer. From there, he climbed the ladder to crew chief in 2013 and has since racked up 37 Xfinity series victories, working with notable drivers like Gibbs, Kyle Busch, and Erik Jones.

Gayle also played an important role in Jones’ Cup Series ventures, where the duo won two races in four seasons. Subsequently, he shifted gears back to NASCAR’s second tier, steering the #54 team in 2021 alongside drivers like Busch, Ty Dillon, Martin Truex Jr., and John Hunter Nemechek, before Gibbs took to the Cup Series in 2022.

He has also teamed up with Hamlin for eight Xfinity races, snagging a win in 2016, followed by a close second-place finish the following year.

On the flip side, Gabehart entered JGR in 2012 as a race engineer, and by 2016, he had transitioned to a crew chief role through the Xfinity Series for three prosperous seasons.
