Briscoe: New aero rules at Phoenix "exciting to think about"
Chase Briscoe showed strong performance in the recent NASCAR Cup race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, running up front until a collision with Ryan Blaney caused damage that pushed him to a 21st place finish. Despite this, his teammate Noah Gragson finished in sixth, hinting at an improvement for Stewart Haas Racing compared to last season. Briscoe reflected on the race, mentioning that before the incident, he felt his car was a solid top-10 contender. The series now heads to Phoenix where Briscoe has performed well in the past, including a previous Cup win. Briscoe acknowledges that he still has room to grow at Phoenix and is preparing to adapt to a new aerodynamic rules package set to debut at the upcoming road courses and short tracks. He believes the new package will put more control in the hands of the drivers and expects it to enhance racing on the shorter tracks.
