"We are excited to have Saia join our family at Joe Gibbs Racing," said team owner Coach Joe Gibbs in a statement.
"They have an impressive operation, establishing themselves as a leader in the transportation and logistics industry. We know they deliver, and we certainly plan on delivering success with them both on and off the track."
Gibbs continues to seek his first win at the top level of NASCAR, but he has made progress in two seasons behind the wheel of the No. 54 Toyota Camry XSE.
Gibbs won Rookie of the Year in 2023 after posting four top-five finishes and 10 top-10s. Last season, he made the playoffs and finished 15th in the standings after posting eight top-fives, 12 top-10s, and an average finish of 17.4. He also won the pole twice.
The North Carolina native will continue to pursue his first win in 2025 while showcasing a new scheme on the No. 54. The normally black and green Toyota will be red and white during seven races as Gibbs gains more experience behind the wheel.
"Really excited to have Saia as a partner on our No. 54 Toyota Camry," Ty Gibbs said. "They are a great company, and I hope we can put them in victory lane during this season. All of their employees have already been so supportive."
