Chase Briscoe claims first victory with Joe Gibbs Racing at Pocono

Chase Briscoe marked his first victory with Joe Gibbs Racing at Pocono — an achievement accomplished after mastering critical fuel management challenges.

Despite making a mistake during his final pit stop, the driver of the No. 19 car successfully managed his fuel consumption to the finish line — even having enough gas left for a victory burnout.

23XI Racing experienced a day they’d rather forget — both drivers suffered serious brake issues. Riley Herbst and Bubba Wallace were forced to retire from the race, while Tyler Reddick finished in 32nd position.

• John Hunter Nemechek showed consistency with a 6th place finish
• Brad Keselowski made pit strategy errors while leading
• Kyle Busch involved in another incident after speed penalty
• William Byron dropped to 27th after promising early showing

“I just focused on listening to James Small’s (crew chief) instructions and tried to save as much fuel as possible,” Briscoe said after the race.

With nine races remaining in the regular season — including two drafting tracks and three road courses — the competition for the final five NASCAR Cup playoff spots intensifies.
