Championship 4 field set for Xfinity Series title race at Phoenix.
On the final lap of the third attempt at overtime, Ty Gibbs rammed soon-to-be-ex-teammate Brandon Jones.Gibbs and Justin Allgaier will race for the series championship at Phoenix against Josh Berry and Noah Gragson.
By then Gibbs already had clinched one of the two remaining spots in the Championship 4 Round, but the bulldozing move deprived Jones of an opportunity to race for the series title next Saturday at Phoenix Raceway. “It was definitely not a clean move, for sure,” Gibbs said. “I definitely didn’t want to wreck him, but I definitely wanted to move him out of the groove so I could go win. I felt like we lost the spring race getting moved by him.
“I know Ty enough to where I know he doesn't care about what he did,” said Jones, who will move to JR Motorsports next season. “He's pretty much, well—he wasn't ‘pretty much’—he was locked into the next round. So really, what did that do?
