JGR faces tough times in NASCAR as Hamlin struggles after a fiery incident at Texas Motor Speedway.

Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) is facing a challenging phase in the second quarter of the 2025 NASCAR season. After a promising start with impressive victories, including back-to-back wins by Denny Hamlin at Martinsville and Darlington, the team`s momentum has significantly waned.

The latest setback occurred at Texas Motor Speedway, where Hamlin`s car caught fire, resulting in a last-place finish. Teammates Ty Gibbs and Chase Briscoe also struggled, finishing outside the top 20. This decline has impacted JGR`s standing in the competitive NASCAR Cup Series, where William Byron currently leads with 421 points, followed closely by Kyle Larson at 408 points. Denny Hamlin, despite his earlier successes, sits in third place with 338 points, having secured two wins and 12 playoff points.

As the NASCAR Cup Series continues, the upcoming race at Kansas Speedway presents an opportunity for JGR to regain its footing and turn the tide in their favor. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see if Hamlin and his team can bounce back from this rough patch and reclaim their earlier form in the high-stakes world of NASCAR.
