Joe Gibbs

A successful organization starts with its people. This has long been the philosophy of Joe Gibbs. It helped carry him to three Super Bowl championships and the Pro Football Hall of Fame as head coach of the NFL’s Washington Redskins and has been a defining principle behind building Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) into one of NASCAR’s most successful multi-team racing organizations.

It also guides Gibbs’ latest project: “Game Plan For Life”, which is the title of his New York Times Best Selling book and its corresponding ministry www.gameplanforlife.com.

Once again, Gibbs assembled an amazing team of 11 experts to respond to the issues a national survey revealed to be the most pressing in men’s lives. The results are a modern day game plan for a successful life based on God’s Word.

JGR has experienced amazing success and growth since Gibbs founded the operation in 1991. Beginning its first season of racing in 1992 with just 18 crew members and JGR now employs close to 450 people. Despite the immense growth, the company remains defined by the same principles of its founder: Integrity, a relentless work ethic, determination, perseverance and team building.
Those principles have been the driving force behind JGR’s success including over 160 overall wins in NASCAR, three NASCAR Cup Series championships (2000, 2002, and 2005), back-to-back NASCAR Nationwide Series owners’ championships (2008 and 2009) and the organization’s first NASCAR Nationwide Series driver’s championship in 2009.

He and his wife Pat, currently reside near JGR’s Huntersville, NC headquarters and enjoy spending time with their eight grandchildren.
