Chase Briscoe Lost Considerable Speed After Daytona Penalty
1 hour agoDespite the speed the Toyotas frequently showed during Speedweeks, they had a miserable showing in yesterday's Atlanta qualifying as this year's Daytona 500 polesitter only qualified 25th, although he still outqualified all three of his Joe Gibbs Racing teammates. Despite mostly avoiding the last lap Big One he caused in the Daytona 500 en route to a 4th place finish, he was stripped of 100 points for a modified spoiler and fell to last in points and his crew chief James Small was suspended. It seems quite possible that the No. 19 team's cheating was the only reason they broke through the perennial Ford dominance in qualifying and that he won't be fast at Atlanta. There is too much uncertainty here to make him a worthy bet and JGR bettors should focus on his three superior teammates who all qualified worse.
