As the NASCAR Cup Series barrels toward the Playoffs, two Joe Gibbs Racing drivers, and one 23XI Racing driver are fighting for their lives to make it into the

16-driver Playoff field. With just three races remaining in the regular season, Martin Truex Jr., and Ty Gibbs, who have each had close calls for wins this year, remain winless and need to reach victory lane or maximize points down the stretch to secure their Playoff berths.

"The root cause seems to be some inconsistency in the quality of our valve springs. We are working closely with our suppliers to correct these issues...
