Chase Briscoe

Pit Lane Interview

Q. Chase Briscoe comes home in sixth position. Brakes caused a little trouble but overall not a big deal. Any surprises for you during this race?

CHASE BRISCOE: The brakes were still a little odd. That whole first stage I had no issues and I thought we were going to be really good, and then the second stage started rising. I thought we definitely could have been better if it wasn't for that. I thought our Bass Pro Shops Toyota was really good. We struggled a little bit on the short run, but our long run speed was phenomenal.

Overall great day obviously for JGR, great points day for us. To be 37th in points now to be fifth with a couple to go here before the end of the regular season is a big thing for us. Got to just try to keep it going.

Q. How do you keep it going? Does today's performance give you a little bit of optimism over the next two weeks?

CHASE BRISCOE: I hope so. Truthfully the next two weeks are probably my two worst racetracks, or my least favorite, at least. So just got to try to go there and maximize our day. Our car should be really, really fast.

Yeah, just have to execute, and we've been doing a really good job of that over the course of the last seven or eight weeks. Looking forward to the next couple and seeing if we can keep it rolling.
