He finished the race at P10, He broke a three-race streak of non-top-10 finishes at the iconic short track as well.
But the No:14 Ford Mustang Dark Horse driver isn’t happy with result that came in the same week as the announcement that he and his wife are expecting twins. Chase Briscoe is frustrated with the result and didn’t hesitate to brand it as the worst P10 finish of his career. A poor pit-stop and trouble to pass on the track were the reason’s for his result.
I am frustrated. We ran 10th but that was the worst 10th. We were better than that all race long, so that is frustrating. We kept shooting ourselves in the foot. We lost a couple of spots on pit road and then ran long and lost a lot of track time there.Chase Briscoe said via NBC.
Briscoe, who drives for Tony Stewart, has valid reasons to be frustrated as on Sunday SHR had some of the fastest cars of the day. He had the opportunity to secure enough momentum that would’ve helped him set the No:14 crew for race win contention in the upcoming events. The Mahindra sponsored driver hasn’t won a single race since Phoenix regular season race in 2022.

Chase Briscoe believes that he could’ve scored a top-3 on Sunday
The Ford driver further pointed out that his car was fast enough to put him in the contention for top-3 alongside the HMS drivers. He blamed the lack of passing opportunities for this poor result. Briscoe also admitted that execution was also a major issue for the team on Sunday.
I thought our car was good enough to for sure run in the top three. I don’t know what the leaders had at the end. You just can’t pass, so if you were able to get the lead, you were going to hold it if you were somewhat decent. We need to figure out how to execute a little better. We had good speed, we just need to capitalize on it better.Chase Briscoe said.
Goin into next-weekends race at Texas Motor Speedway, the former Xfinity Series Champion would be hoping to set a trend by securing a top-5 finish or a win. Texas being a productive track form him in the Cup Series over the years would sure give him the confidence.
