Chase Briscoe's Momentum Continues as Stewart-Haas Racing Places All Focus on Him
2 months agoChase Briscoe qualified 9th for this afternoon's Kansas race, marking his best qualifying position ever at the track. Flat intermediates have tended to be Briscoe's weakest track type and he tends to run mid-pack in most Kansas races as his finishes range from 13th to 32nd and he has never led a lap at the track. However, he does seem to have strong momentum on his side and it's clear Stewart-Haas Racing is entirely focused on him since he is there only playoff contender and all the other SHR cars qualified significantly worse. Although he did qualify 10th in the spring race at Kansas, he didn't run very well with an average running position of 27th, a finish of 21st, and his second-worst average running position of the season. While he'll probably improve on that performance, a top ten finish looks unlikely.
