Briscoe to the NASCAR Final: Victory at Talladega and Guaranteed Passport

Chase Briscoe Secures a Spot in the NASCAR Final at Talladega

Chase Briscoe, Joe Gibbs Racing driver, secured a spot in the NASCAR season finale after an exciting overtime victory at Talladega Superspeedway. Briscoe achieved his first superspeedway victory, joining teammate Denny Hamlin as the Toyota drivers with guaranteed spots in the final, which will be held at Phoenix Raceway in two weeks. Briscoe, who started sixth on the restart, benefited from the collaboration of Ty Gibbs, his teammate.

Ty Gibbs, an incredible teammate. Honestly, I wouldn’t have won the race without Ty. This is an incredible team effort. I can’t believe I won a race on a superspeedway. I haven’t done it at any level.

The race was decided in overtime after Chris Buescher, who was leading with two laps to go, was hit by William Byron. Todd Gilliland finished second, followed by Ty Gibbs in third place and Bubba Wallace in fourth.

Chase Elliott Suffers a Setback at Talladega

Chase Elliott’s aspirations of advancing to the final were affected by an early accident in the race. Elliott, the 2020 NASCAR champion, was involved in a crash that relegated him to the last position. Now, Elliott faces the need to win at Martinsville Speedway to advance to the final in Phoenix.
