Joe Gibbs Racing's Bombardier CRJ-700 (N520JG) was tracked flying from Sacramento International Airport to Concord-Padgett Regional Airport on June 25, 2026, a trip lasting four hours and ten minutes.

If a representative of Joe Gibbs Racing was aboard, they would have arrived in the Charlotte-area the same week a federal judge is scheduled to hear arguments over a temporary restraining order against former competition director Chris Gabehart and Spire Motorsports, per a filing covered by Autoweek. Joe Gibbs Racing is seeking to enforce an 18-month non-compete clause and alleges Gabehart misappropriated trade secrets, with a hearing set for later this week.

The flight from Sacramento follows a recent pattern for the aircraft, which flew from the same California airport earlier in the day after a prior movement from Greenville, South Carolina. The case, which also involves Spire Motorsports, has drawn attention across NASCAR as it moves toward a trial scheduled for January.
