Momentum when it matters.’s P4 finish at Vegas is his fourth straight top-10. Ahead of the second race of the Round of 8 at Miami-Homestead this Sunday, Chase Briscoe further elaborated on what qualifying into the current playoffs round on his first attempt meant for the 27-year-old and said: “To make it to the Round of 8 in our first year in the playoffs, first year in Cup, it’s something I’m really proud of. We want a lot more but it’s really special to know you have a 1-in-8 chance at winning the NASCAR Cup championship. Two weeks from possibly having a 1-in-4 shot. There are Hall of Famers and legends who haven’t made it this far this year so to be in this group is a really big deal.” Last weekend's South Point 400 also solidified the #14 driver and crew's belief going further towards the championship decider in Phoenix next month that they have a decent chance of competing for the title, if not winning it. Chase Briscoe managed to recover from being one lap down in stage one last Sunday to a P4 finish at Las Vegas Motorspeedway, boosting his confidence further.

Such is the unknown of stock car racing, however, that Briscoe is one of the eight drivers gunning for a spot in the next round of the title this season. The Bank of America Roval 400 at Charlotte saw the Mitchell, Indiana native qualify for a spot in the top eight as championship contenders like Kyle Larson and Daniel Suarez failed to make a significant impact during their performances on the track, albeit with a little bit of help from his teammate Cole Custer. The #14 Ford Mustang driver has continued to believe in his team and his abilities going further into the season nonetheless.
