Chase Briscoe

Pit Lane Interview

Q. Chase, you had the fresher tires, the shot. What made the difference at the end?

CHASE BRISCOE: I don't know. I thought I did everything I needed to. I thought I had him there for a second. I wish the Camry, the back, was about three inches shorter. I was so close to clearing him. I just couldn't do it.

Obviously, racing a teammate, I wanted to make sure at least a JGR car won. Yeah, it was honestly a great day. We weren't probably a second-place race car, we were a fifth to 10th car. Glad we were able to kind of make a good finish out of it.

Yeah, would have loved to get our Bass Pro Shops Toyota in Victory Lane. Like I said, I thought we were close. I was two, three inches short of clearing him. Denny did a really good job, they were really good all day.

Once again, I can't thank Coach, Toyota, J.P. Morris Johnny Morris, enough for letting me drive this race car. It's a dream come true. It is fun going to the racetrack every week on Sunday and having a shot to win. Looking forward to going home next week.

Q. What was it like cutting through all those cars knowing what you had to do out there?

CHASE BRISCOE: Yeah, I mean, definitely it's nice to be on offense. It's good when you're one of the first two cars. I got a gift when Tyler look the bottom on that initial restart. I came out and took the top, got to fourth right away. There at the end I was surprised that I was able to kind of even stay as close as I was.

Q. Everything fair there with the contact?

CHASE BRISCOE: Yeah, I got really loose. I saw Christopher spin out underneath. That's the same thing I did, all but spinning out. I thought Denny did everything fine. Obviously just wish I would have been on the other end of it.
