What’s actually going on with Ty Gibbs?

This is getting extremely rough to watch. The final stretch of last year and the start of this year have been absolutely abysmal to watch. Poor finishes, no speed, crashes, etc. He is currently placed 34th in points driving for a powerhouse. The only two full time drivers doing worse are Cole Custer and Cody Ware.

Yesterday was just rough, he got lapped on pure pace multiple times and not to mention that extremely awkward interview, he’s always gone through a crew chief change in this time and it’s not helped, all this after a very promising rookie year and looked competitive to start last year. Is there a deeper mental issue going on?
