“I like Elvis, Lil Baby”: Ty Gibbs shares unsure insight on his playoff playlist

Ty Gibbs appeared in a recent Dirty Mo Media interview with Jeff Gluck and Jordan Bianchi of The Athletic. During their conversation, Gluck was curious about the Joe Gibbs Racing driver's playlist as a lot of the latter's posts on social media are captioned with raps.

Gibbs revealed that he likes a wide variety of music that is not limited to just rap songs. The 21-year-old speedster said that he has different kinds of playlists, from rap and chill music to country and old rock numbers.

"I have a lot of different playlists," Gibbs said. "I mean, I've got a country playlist, and I've got a rap playlist, and then I've got a chill playlist, and I've got old rock and old country and Elvis to Drake to Drizzy."

"I listened to Elvis for a little bit too (much)," added Gibbs while speaking of his love for the 'King of Rock and Roll'. "Elvis, Lil Baby, Jason Aldean, I got it all."

Gibbs is in his second full season in the Cup Series. After clinching the NASCAR Xfinity Series championship in 2022, he joined the Toyota team in 2023 for his debut season as a Cup Series full-timer.

Gibbs currently drives the No. 54 Monster Energy JGR Camry in the Cup Series. This year, Gibbs, a resident of Charlotte, NC, made the playoffs for the first time in his Cup Series career. He sits just ahead of his teammate and 2017 Cup Series champion Martin Truex Jr. in the playoff picture.
