Coach Joe is back, but he's not calling the shots in NASCAR anymore.

"We're still trying to figure out how big a pay cut he's going to get," J.D. Gibbs said Tuesday night in welcoming his father back to the race team. "It's going to be large. A couple of zeros off of it. But we're excited to have him back."
