When people hear the Gibbs name, most would think of NASCAR owner and Super Bowl champion Joe Gibbs. While Joe continues as the namesake of the motorsports powerhouse that is Joe Gibbs Racing, his daughter-in-law, Heather Gibbs, has stepped into a leadership role to help forge the future of the team.

From her early days as a baker to her success as a realtor, and now her role as a Co-Owner of Joe Gibbs Racing, Heather has a wealth of experience and perspective in the business world across real estate, racing, and even baking cakes! In this episode of Business of Motorsports with Kelley Earnhardt, Gibbs addresses the emotions of seeing her son Ty get his first Cup victory, the frustrations of the charter negotiations, the sadness of losing her husband Coy, and how the race team could look when Joe passes on the torch.

If you’re looking for business insight or just want to know more about Heather’s story, this is a fantastic interview.

We start off with Dirty Air, where Carson "The Hurricane" Hocevar plays host for Dale Jr. while he's out doing something or other in California in between San Diego & Sonoma. Carson dives into the incident between him and first-time winner Corey Heim, the celebration the fans missed out on, and... oh yeah, Cleetus calls in.

Kelley Earnhardt Miller welcomes Howard Hitchcock and Richard Barry, the CEO and COO of Lionel Brands Group, to the Business of Motorsports for a conversation that pulls back the curtain on one of NASCAR's most beloved and misunderstood businesses. What most fans see as a toy or a souvenir is actually the product of a 12-to-18-month process involving complex CAD data from OEM tech centers, hand-applied waterslide decals, Chinese factory peak seasons, and approval chains that run through teams, NASCAR, Goodyear, and every single sponsor on the car.

Howard and Richard break down why scarcity is not a bug but a feature, how the collapse of single-sponsor deals reshaped the entire product line, and why getting confetti placement right on a Chase Elliott victory car matters more than most people would ever imagine. They also get personal, talking about what drew Richard to invest in a brand with 126 years of history, why Howard collects presidential china, and how a three-year-old kid getting a diecast signed at a fan event captures everything this hobby is actually about. If you have ever wondered how a win on Sunday becomes a collectible in your hands months later, this is the conversation that explains it all.

There’s a hurricane in the Arby’s studio.

That’s right – Carson Hocevar AKA ‘The Hurricane’ dropped by today to fill in for Dale Jr as our host for DJD – and this episode was unforgettable. Right out of the gate, Dale Facetimed Carson, thinking that taping had just ended, but in fact, it was just getting started. Carson filled everyone in on his relationship with spotter Tyler Green, how the two navigated Naval Base Coronado, and the winning celebration that every fan would’ve been talking about had Carson pulled off the victory.

In typical Hocevar fashion, Carson gave his takes on Reddick’s sportsmanship while racing Heim for the win, his own run-in with Corey Heim, Noah Gragson’s heated discussion with Kevin Magnussen, and so much more from the race weekend in San Diego.

Cleetus McFarland also calls into the show to talk for a quick minute, right before Carson gets back to more of his opinions on all things NASCAR.

Plus, a Kay Adams update.

After what felt like the longest O'Reilly Series race of all-time, DJD was able to go live from San Diego for a great post-race show presented by Arby's and America's Navy. Dale, TJ and Freddie are joined by The Hurricane himself, Carson Hocevar, for the entirety of the show to talk about prepping on iRacing, Spire's standout performance, qualifying on the front row, and the unknowns of tire wear on the abrasive San Diego circuit. It was a late night but the gang brought the energy, so sit back and enjoy.
