In one of the more amusing anecdotes from qualifying, Chase Briscoe qualified 17th (slowest of the four Joe Gibbs Racing cars) after being penalized for a spoiler modification at the Daytona 500, where he had shocked everyone by winning the pole. Even though the penalty was rescinded, his inexplicable pole interrupting the perennial Ford qualifying dominance at the tracks likely had something to do with the infraction nonetheless, so his car won't likely be as fast this time in the race either. As with Alex Bowman, he's in a kind of no man's land where he qualified too well to gain many positions but too poorly to likely factor for the lead and earn lap leader points. Briscoe is probably even less valuable when considering he costs $300 more than Bowman.

Joe Gibbs Racing's Chase Briscoe finished fourth in Sunday's Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. Beginning the race from the 14th position, Briscoe quietly and steadily made his way through the field throughout the entire race. By the end of the first stage, Briscoe made it up to 11th and fell short of earning stage points. In the second stage, Briscoe cracked the top 10 and finished the stage in ninth, earning two stage points. In the final stage, Briscoe and his team executed on their pit stops, navigated traffic efficiently, and raced up to the fourth position, scoring his third top-5 result of the 2025 season. This finish also was a new career best for Briscoe at Bristol and the first top-5 ever in his Cup career at the site.

Although Chase Briscoe qualified 14th at Bristol, which doesn't sound terrible when you compare it to how the 23XI Racing Toyotas qualified, he was by far the slowest of the four Joe Gibbs Racing cars as his three teammates all qualified in the top seven. Briscoe is an agent of chaos who seems almost impossible to predict as this ties his worst qualifying run with this car even though he's now driving a JGR car that should by all rights be faster than the Stewart-Haas Racing cars he was driving before where he qualified 6th or better three times. Having said that, Briscoe has never led a lap at Bristol and finished worse than he started in all four races with the Next Gen chassis, so he likely is overvalued and his $9,000 cost on DFS seems to reflect the historical speed of the No. 19 car more than Briscoe's ability. All the other JGR drivers are likely better bets.

Chase Briscoe improbably delivered Stewart-Haas Racing's last win in last year's Southern 500, the last race at Darlington Raceway. Today he starts fourth in the Goodyear 400 with a much faster Joe Gibbs Racing Team and he is coming off from back-to-back top five finishes at the track, even though he had never earned a top ten before. Toyotas have dominated at this track frequently in recent years, although they're often snakebitten in terms of actually winning. The fact that four Toyota drivers qualified in the top seven suggests that Toyotas may likely dominate this race, but Denny Hamlin, Bubba Wallace, and Tyler Reddick are probably all much more likely to since they've been faster all year. Briscoe's starting position is probably much too high for DFS consideration unless you think he's going to lead a lot of the race. That's certainly possible, but it's not one of the more likely outcomes.
