Press release from Greater Wyoming Valley Chamber of Commerce: August 12, 2021   Phenom Ty Gibbs Wins Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey 200 At The Glen for Third Xfinity Series Win in 10 Races Even the very drivers he beat offered congratulations to 18-year old Ty Gibbs for the teenager's victory in Saturday afternoon's Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey 200 at the renowned Watkins Glen International road course.    No matter which side of the track Gibbs re-started from, no matter the occasional hiccup getting up to speed, the grandson of NASCAR Hall of Famer Joe Gibbs proved he was up for the task – leading a race best (and career best) 43 of 82 laps to claim his third NASCAR Xfinity Series victory in 10 assorted starts this season. He also won at the Daytona road course and at the Charlotte oval.   Gibbs beat one of the track's all-time best, A.J. Allmendinger, by .938-seconds to take the victory, passing him with two laps remaining to seal his fate and raise his third trophy of the year.
