It\u2019s been an up-and-down year for Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR), which has seen some enormous highs courtesy of Christopher Bell<\/strong> and some dismal lows. It\u2019s been a roller-coaster.<\/p>\n

Outside of Bell, success for JGR has been hard to come by. Even Denny Hamlin<\/strong>, the normally reliable veteran, hasn\u2019t quite been in sync so far.<\/p>\n

So what is to be made of JGR\u2019s early season struggles, particularly for Ty Gibbs<\/strong> and Chase Briscoe<\/strong>? Kevin Harvick<\/strong> weighed in on the Kevin Harvick\u2019s Happy Hour<\/em><\/a> podcast.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that this is the first weekend I mean all the Gibbs cars were not as fast as they needed to be,\u201d Harvick said, coming off Las Vegas. \u201cAt one point three of the last five cars were the 54, 11 and the 19. Now 19 had a wheel fly off. 11, he had the speeding penalty. But he never really passed a car. So they definitely had some issues.\u201d<\/p>\n

Again, Bell has been downright dominant. Outside of that, JGR is looking for more.<\/p>\n

Harvick further broke down the issues for Gibbs and Briscoe, who are struggling the most. And that\u2019s even after Briscoe escaped a major penalty from NASCAR<\/strong><\/a> stemming from a spoiler modification at Daytona.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s so much pressure on these guys to go out and win, and Briscoe\u2019s, he\u2019s kind of in that same boat now,\u201d Harvick said. \u201cThey got out of the penalty, and I think that was obviously fair. But being able to get some consistency is how you get back on track and that\u2019s where both of those teams need to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Gibbs, Harvick was short but sweet. It\u2019s an easy breakdown for JGR.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that the 19 has been super hit or miss with everything that they\u2019ve had going on and working through,\u201d Harvick said. \u201cI thought that they, with Daytona, and I thought at The Clash, it\u2019s just not firing. \u201c<\/p>\n

So how do Briscoe and Gibbs get back on track? Step by step, Harvick said. JGR just needs to focus on clean races. Self-inflicted mistakes have been killer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the biggest thing in those scenarios is let\u2019s just have a day, wherever we finish, where we don\u2019t screw anything up,\u201d Harvick said. \u201cIf we\u2019re going to run 25th, let\u2019s just run 25th all day and have good pit stops, have good restarts, do all those things that it takes to complete the day. Then let\u2019s come on home and talk about what we need to do next week.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd let\u2019s go next week and wherever we run, wherever we unload, let\u2019s get down pit road correctly, let\u2019s get all the tires tight, and let\u2019s not make any mistakes all day and come on back home and see if we can do that two or three times in a row. Back to the basics.\u201d<\/p>\n
