Tyler Allen, a seasoned crew chief with an impressive track record, is set to take on a pivotal role as the crew chief for Ty Gibbs and the No. 54 team in the highly anticipated 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season.

Uniting Talent for NASCAR Victory

Allen's Previous Roles

Prior to this significant appointment, Allen had served as the crew chief for JGR's No. 20 team in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. His previous stints also included working with the No. 18 team in the NASCAR Cup Series when Kyle Busch was at the helm. Under Adam Stevens' leadership, the team achieved remarkable success, clinching the 2019 championship. This diverse experience has equipped Allen with the skills and knowledge needed to handle the challenges of leading a top-tier NASCAR team.Furthermore, earlier this year, it was announced that Allen would be the 2025 crew chief for Taylor Gray in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. This move led to Jason Ratcliff being transferred to the crew chief position for the No. 54 Xfinity team.

Allen's Thoughts on the New Role

In a statement via the team release, Allen expressed his honor and excitement. "It's an honor to be named crew chief for Ty Gibbs and the 54 Team as we head into the 2025 season," said Allen. "This opportunity has been a dream of mine since starting here at JGR 10 years ago, and I'm thankful for the support and guidance I've received from my mentors, teammates, and everyone along the way. Ty has shown a lot of speed and potential the last two years, and I look forward to building on that experience to get the 54 car in victory lane."

Jason Ratcliff's Perspective

Jason Ratcliff, who has now joined the No. 54 team, shared his enthusiasm. "I'm thrilled to join Taylor and the 54 team for the 2025 season," said Ratcliff. "After a year away from the track, I'm eager to return to the pit box every weekend. Taylor has the talent and determination to excel in NASCAR, and it's our mission to help him achieve that success."

Joe Gibbs' Perspective

Joe Gibbs, the owner and founder of Joe Gibbs Racing, emphasized the pride they take in their Xfinity Series program. "We take a lot of pride in our Xfinity Series program and the depth of talent that we have been able to maintain," said Joe Gibbs. "Tyler Allen was successful at the Cup level with us while working under Adam Stevens and was impressive last season in the Xfinity Series leading that 20 team to eight wins while working with a number of different drivers. We have an exciting young and talented team on the 54 car."

Ty Gibbs' Thoughts

Ty Gibbs added his excitement to the mix. "It is also exciting to have Jason Ratcliff back on the pit box in the Xfinity Series to work with Taylor Gray next season," said Gibbs. "He has contributed so much to our organization over his career."
