MADISON, Ill. — Chase Briscoe is facing a new challenge as he strives to qualify for the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs. The Stewart-Haas Racing team, with owners Tony Stewart and Gene Haas, recently announced that they will cease operations at the end of the season, creating uncertainty for Briscoe and his teammates.
Briscoe expressed concerns about the team’s ability to even bring cars to the race track if key personnel leave. The future looks uncertain for him and fellow drivers Josh Berry, Noah Gragson, and Ryan Preece.
Currently, Briscoe is ranked 16th in the points standings, just missing out on the playoff cutoff due to Daniel Suárez’s victory. Despite the challenges, Briscoe and Berry remain committed to racing hard and staying competitive at this level.
Amidst the distractions, the team had a difficult day on the track with none of the drivers qualifying in the top 20. Despite the setbacks, they are determined to push forward and continue giving their best effort.
Despite the uncertainties, the Cup Series contenders expect Larson to receive a waiver to regain his playoff eligibility after missing a race due to his participation in the Indy 500. Larson’s impact on motorsports and his performance this season justify a waiver in the eyes of many in the industry.
The anticipation is high for the upcoming race with Denny Hamlin being the favorite to win, followed by Larson, William Byron, and others in contention for victory.
