The NASCAR race at Sonoma has proven challenging for Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR). Ty Gibbs experienced significant damage to the right front after hitting a jagged new wall in Turn 11, which has caused issues for multiple drivers. Gibbs' incident involved a tire going down, leading to a crash on the frontstretch that ended his day. Additionally, Denny Hamlin's engine blew, resulting in a last-place finish, and Martin Truex Jr. spun after contact. These events have contributed to a disastrous start for JGR in the first 16 laps.

It was the brand new wall in Turn 11, which caused the issues for Ty Gibbs. That jagged wall has been a problem for Gibbs and a couple of others already. #NASCAR
