However, Chevrolet and Ford are heating up, with Chevy winning three races and Fords Ryan Blaney winning once. Toyotas president, Tyler Gibbs, reminds everyone that its only 25% through the season, and the Chase playoffs will determine the champion. 23XI Racing, featuring Tyler Reddick, Denny Hamlin, and Riley Herbst, has shown significant improvement, with Reddick winning five races and Hamlin winning one. Bubba Wallace, the third driver, has had a tough season but is still in the mix. Toyota has eleven stage wins, with Ty Gibbs notching his first career victory.
