Mark Gibson (born August 14, 1957), is a race car driver and race team owner in the ARCA RE/MAX Series. A three-time winner, Gibson drove the #59 Williams Brothers Lumber Company Chevy (sometimes Pontiac) and is a former Rookie of the Year in ARCA. Gibson became part of the first two car team in the ARCA Bondo MAR/HYDE Series(now ARCA REMAX) when he teamed with brothers Mike and Joe Cooksey and Don Faurbach from Maurtco Motorsports. Gibson has stepped out of the driver seat to concentrate on developing new talent. Mark Gibson Racing has been working with Cunningham Motorsports since 2007 where Gibson serves as general manager. Mark Gibson has been instrumental in the development of Sprint Cup driver Ryan Newman, Nationwide Series driver Justin Allgaier and Camping World Truck Series driver Tayler Malsam who drove for Mark in 2008. Mark Gibson is one of the most respected and talented stock car drivers on the dirt miles at Du quoin and Springfield, Illinois and still occasionally will enter as a driver in those events to race against the likes of Tony Stewart and Ken Schrader.

He has also ran in NASCAR on selected occasions, his last attempt being an unsuccessful bid in qualifying for the 1999 Daytona 500. Gibson's brother Tony is currently the crew chief for Ryan Newman at Stewart Haas Racing in the Sprint Cup Series.
