2026 Season Notes
Briscoe is in his second year driving the No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota, the seat formerly held by Martin Truex Jr. He took the ride in 2025 when Stewart-Haas Racing, his prior home, ceased operations at the end of 2024.
At the Dover All-Star Race on May 17, 2026, Briscoe finished second to his JGR teammate Denny Hamlin in a side-by-side fight that came down to .887 seconds. The runner-up came after his crew rebuilt the No. 19 Bass Pro Shops Toyota following a wall hit in practice, and Briscoe was driving with a stomach bug he'd had for two or three days. He nearly won a million dollars anyway.
"It was a really fast car. I'm just proud of our group. I knocked the wall down in practice. We basically rebuilt the whole car. So for them to be able to get the car back to where it's competitive, it says a lot about the guys."
, Chase Briscoe, Dover Motor Speedway, May 17, 2026
"Wish I had a little more rear grip. Anytime I got the lead, I would be so loose that it would make me vulnerable."
Through New Hampshire (Race 25, Aug. 23), Briscoe sits sixth in the Cup standings with 727 points and one win this season, per the official NASCAR points report. At Richmond on Aug. 15 he finished second to Joey Logano while leading a race-best 171 laps. The regular season closes Saturday, Aug. 29 at Daytona.

Background
Briscoe grew up in Mitchell, Indiana, and came up through ARCA and the Xfinity Series before his Cup debut. His 2020 Xfinity season, nine wins and a Championship 4 berth, is the breakout year that landed him a Stewart-Haas Racing Cup ride. When SHR closed its doors at the end of 2024, Joe Gibbs Racing brought him in to replace Martin Truex Jr. in the No. 19. The JGR fit has been productive: 3rd in points in 2025, three wins for the new team, and as of May 2026, a runner-up at the All-Star Race.
