Chase Briscoe

Pit Lane Interview

Q. Here with third-place finisher Chase Briscoe. Chase, that was a wild finish amongst your teammates. What opportunity did you have? It seemed like you did everything you could on the top there.

CHASE BRISCOE: I kept trying to -- we were running side by side. I kept trying to back up my entries to get a big run and take it three wide. They kept running each other up the racetrack, so I kept trying to hit the bottom.

Denny went to the apron. I was going to go three wide to the bottom because I knew, if I hit the bottom, they were all going to run up. He covered it, so then I went to the top and was able to get to Christopher's right rear. We were all driving so deep that we slide up the racetrack. I was in no man's land after that.

Hate that we weren't on the better end of it. We had a really, really good Bass Pro Shops Tracker Toyota, just felt like it was certainly capable of winning, ended up third. Great day for JGR, went one, two, three. Wish we were the ones in first.

Q. Where is the speed coming from at JGR? We see it week after week. Four cars in the top four a lot of the time. Where is that coming from?

CHASE BRISCOE: All the incredible people at Joe Gibbs Racing and the resources we have at Toyota and TRD. Just very blessed and fortunate to get to drive this thing. It's a lot of fun going to the racetrack at the Cup level knowing you can win any given weekend. Hoping we can keep it rolling and end up on the better end of one of these.
