Joe Gibbs Racing secured the Joe Gibbs Racing Xfinity Championship, claiming the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series Owner’s Championship at Phoenix Raceway in Avondale, Arizona, on November 1, 2025. The No. 19 Young Life Toyota, piloted by Aric Almirola, led a diverse roster of drivers to capture this significant achievement for the team.
Strong Driver Collaboration Delivers Results
Throughout the 2025 season, the No. 19 team saw a mix of drivers each contributing to its success. Aric Almirola drove in 17 races, with Justin Bonsignore taking part in 7 events, Riley Herbst competing in 4, Jack Perkins in 2, and Christopher Bell, Chase Briscoe, and Ty Gibbs each appearing once during the campaign. This collaborative effort brought depth and flexibility to the Joe Gibbs Racing lineup and ensured competitive results across the season.
Key Victories and Consistent Performances
The No. 19 team celebrated three notable victories in 2025, all delivered by Aric Almirola at three major tracks: Phoenix Raceway in March, Bristol Motor Speedway in September, and Las Vegas Motor Speedway in October. The strong performances were also reflected in the statistics, as the team accumulated ten top-five results and finished in the top ten thirteen times, underscoring their reliability and speed throughout the year.
Christopher Bell added another highlight by earning a pole position for the No. 19 team at Darlington Raceway in April, demonstrating the strong qualifying pace and overall competitiveness that Joe Gibbs Racing maintained during the season.
Building on a Legacy of Achievement
The 2025 championship marks the fourth year in a row that Joe Gibbs Racing has featured an entry in the Owner’s Championship 4, showing a consistent presence among the sport’s top contenders. This latest Owner’s Championship is the second for the No. 19 car, repeating a feat first accomplished in 2016. Joe Gibbs Racing now adds this 2025 title to its previous Xfinity Series Owner’s Championships from 2022, 2016, 2012, 2010, 2009, and 2008, further solidifying its status as a leading organization in the series.
Earlier championships were secured using the Toyota Camry model, while both the most recent titles, including the 2025 triumph, were won in the GR Supra. Since 2007, Toyota has celebrated 218 victories in Xfinity Series competition, with 69 of those coming from races where the Supra was the winning car.
Impact for Joe Gibbs Racing and the Xfinity Series
This season’s success not only reinforces Joe Gibbs Racing’s reputation for excellence in the Owner’s Championship, but also highlights effective teamwork and adaptability within its driver roster. As other major entities such as Brandon Jones and drivers like Justin Bonsignore and Riley Herbst participated, the organization maintained a high competitive standard throughout the year’s championship race events, including at venues such as Bristol Motor Speedway, Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and Phoenix Raceway. The achievement at Avondale in Arizona will serve as a significant milestone for the team and set a strong precedent for the coming racing seasons in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.
