Joe Gibbs Racing hasn’t become one of NASCAR’s finest outfits without excruciating hard work. The likes of Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin and Martin Truex Jr have all contributed to its successes in recent times.

But ultimately, there are a lot of efforts that go on behind the scenes, which includes teams possibly gaining knowledge from one another to deliver results. Building on that, Busch’s crew chief Ben Beshore believes there is a sense of openness at JGR to share insights between the company’s teams.

Beshore stated, “You know it’s probably an 80-20 blend of that, 80% you’re focusing on your car and your driver. What he’s telling you and what you can do to fix those problems.

“Honestly, if you see the #11’s running tenth all day and all of a sudden he drives to third, you wanna know what he did. So we’re definitely studying what they’re doing on air pressure or adjustments.”

We do a lot of notebook sharing even during the race, said Beshore

To attain certain competitiveness, drivers’ teams sometimes remain extremely discreet over their data analysis and relevant knowledge. But Beshore believes that at Joe Gibbs Racing, the idea is for the entire organization to continue growing as a whole.

He continued, “The great thing about Joe Gibbs Racing is everyone’s open to sharing what they’re working on, and what’s gonna make the car faster. And ultimately, that will make the whole company faster.”

“We do a lot of notebook sharing even during the race, and I’ve got engineers studying all that stuff too. So yeah, there’s a lot of information flowing both ways for sure.”
