When people hear the Gibbs name, most would think of NASCAR owner and Super Bowl champion Joe Gibbs. While Joe continues as the namesake of the motorsports powerhouse that is Joe Gibbs Racing, his daughter-in-law, Heather Gibbs, has stepped into a leadership role to help forge the future of the team.
From her early days as a baker to her success as a realtor, and now her role as a Co-Owner of Joe Gibbs Racing, Heather has a wealth of experience and perspective in the business world. In her sit-down interview with Kelley Earnhardt, Gibbs addresses the emotions of seeing her son Ty get his first Cup victory, the frustrations of the charter negotiations, the sadness of losing her husband Coy just a few years ago, and how the race team could look when Joe passes on the torch.
If you’re looking for business insight or just want to know more about Heather’s story, this is a fantastic interview.
