An Interview with:

Q. Chase, what was going through your mind saving fuel, holding off your teammate, Denny Hamlin? What pressure was that behind the wheel?

CHASE BRISCOE: It was a lot. It was kind of weird. I wasn't driving hard. It's not like I was on the ragged edge. It was so hard to have a guy chasing you, right, probably the guy that's the greatest of all time here. Trying to save fuel and everything else.

Thank you to all you race fans. It's sold out every single time we come here. Unbelievable racing in front of a sold-out crowd. Amazing day for our race team. Really the first race we've kind of executed truthfully all year long. To get Bass Pro Shops, Johnny Morris, in Victory Lane, to get Toyota in Victory Lane.

Joe Gibbs Racing took a big chance on me. Like, I wasn't everybody's fist choice I think. Yeah, but for me to be able to get here and finally deliver a win is just an awesome feeling.

Q. Most disciplined stint you every drove in your career?

CHASE BRISCOE: Anybody that has worked with me knows I'm normally overdriving, missing my marks all the time. Yeah, for sure. It's crazy when you slow down. My dad tells me all the time, Slow down, you'll probably go faster. It's true there.

Amazing day. Just want to say hi to Marissa, Brooks, Cooper, Collins. Wish they were here to celebrate this. It's an amazing day. Once again, thank you to you all you race fans.

Q. How gratifying is it to add your name to the list of drivers that have won a Cup Series race for Joe Gibbs Racing?

CHASE BRISCOE: It's huge. I literally grew up racing my sprint car video game in a Joe Gibbs Racing Home Depot uniform. To get Coach in Victory Lane after, like I said, them taking a chance on me, it's so rewarding truthfully. Just a big weight off my shoulders. I've been telling my wife the last two weeks, I have to win. To finally come here and do it, it has been a great day.
