Ty Gibbs won the NASCAR Cup Series race at Iowa Speedway on August 9, 2026, using a late pit strategy to hold off his teammate Christopher Bell. Gibbs, the grandson of former NFL coach and NASCAR team owner Joe Gibbs, secured his victory by 0.253 seconds after taking only two right-side tires during his final pit stop.
Gibbs and Bell each pitted with 60 laps remaining, but while Bell took four tires, Gibbs opted for the two-tire strategy. This decision allowed Gibbs to take the lead after Ross Chastain pitted on Lap 330, and he successfully managed the final laps to fend off Bell's challenge.
With this win, Gibbs achieved his second victory of the season and moved up to second place in the season standings, 103 points behind teammate Denny Hamlin. Bell's second-place finish marked his seventh of the season, while pole-sitter Ryan Blaney finished third after leading the most laps.

泰·吉布斯于2026年8月9日在爱荷华赛道赢得了NASCAR杯系列赛的比赛，采用了晚期进站策略，成功抵挡住队友克里斯托弗·贝尔的追赶。吉布斯是前NFL教练和NASCAR车队老板乔·吉布斯的孙子，他以0.253秒的优势获得胜利，最后一次进站时只更换了右侧两个轮胎。
吉布斯和贝尔在比赛还剩60圈时都进行了进站，但贝尔选择更换四个轮胎，而吉布斯则选择了只更换两个轮胎。这一决定使吉布斯在罗斯·查斯坦于330圈时进站后取得了领先，并成功管理了最后几圈，抵挡住了贝尔的挑战。
凭借这场胜利，吉布斯实现了本赛季和职业生涯的第二场胜利，并在赛季积分榜上升至第二位，落后队友丹尼·汉密尔顿103分。贝尔的第二名是他本赛季的第七次亚军，而杆位选手瑞安·布莱尼则以第三名完赛，领先最多圈数。
