Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) has turned heads heading into the 2025 NASCAR season by lifting its dirt racing ban, allowing drivers to showcase their skills in grassroots events. This monumental shift has the team’s young guns, including Chase Briscoe and Christopher Bell, buzzing with excitement as Bell gears up for a much-anticipated return to the dirt tracks.


Dirt Racers Dominate at JGR

Briscoe, who joined JGR this season as the No. 19 driver, playfully pointed out that the team’s dirt-racing background influenced the policy change. Alongside Briscoe and Bell, rookie sensation Tyler Ankrum also hails from a strong dirt racing background, giving the team a majority of drivers skilled on the loose surface.

“I think it just so happened that, you know, I came over here and I guess we have the majority now,” Briscoe quipped during the NASCAR Awards.

The revision of the dirt racing ban has delighted fans and drivers alike, reigniting excitement for grassroots events where NASCAR’s stars can show off their diverse talents.


Bell vs. Larson: A Rivalry Rekindled

Briscoe expressed particular enthusiasm about Christopher Bell’s return to dirt racing, highlighting his past thrilling battles with Kyle Larson. The rivalry between Bell and Larson has been one of dirt racing’s most electrifying storylines, with both drivers often trading blows on the way to victory in high-profile events.

“It’ll be fun to especially see Christopher back on dirt,” Briscoe remarked. “Just with all the stuff that he’s been able to do in his career and the battles that him and Larson had. For the fans, I think to be able to have that again is going to be really exciting.”

Fans are already looking forward to seeing Bell and Larson reignite their rivalry in the dirt world, a stage where both have cemented themselves as legends.


Briscoe’s Gratitude for the Policy Change

When Briscoe first signed with JGR, the ban on dirt racing concerned him, as it restricted him from participating in events that hold sentimental value. Now, with the policy revised, he’s relieved to have the freedom to pursue those opportunities.

“At first, when I came over there, I thought even if I really wanted to go do a memorial race that was important to me or something, I wouldn’t even have the option,” Briscoe admitted. “Now I do, so I’m thankful that they opened up the reins a little bit.”


Grassroots Racing Gets a Boost

The return of JGR’s drivers to dirt racing is poised to bring renewed attention and energy to grassroots events. Fans will flock to witness Bell’s incredible car control, Briscoe’s relentless drive, and Ankrum’s rising talent as they showcase their skills in their dirt racing roots.

With Bell ready to reignite his rivalry with Larson and Briscoe eager to make an impact, the grassroots scene is primed for a thrilling revival. As NASCAR continues to embrace diversity in its racing formats, JGR’s new policy exemplifies a fresh approach to celebrating the sport’s foundations.

The dirt is calling, and JGR’s stars are ready to answer. Fans, buckle up—it’s going to be one wild ride.
