Chase Briscoe is currently focused on the appeal process regarding the penalty his Joe Gibbs Racing team received after the Daytona 500, remaining optimistic that it won’t derail their season if the appeal is unsuccessful. The team was penalized for modifying a single-sourced supplied part (the spoiler), resulting in the loss of 100 points, 10 playoff points, and a $100,000 fine, along with a four-race suspension for his crew chief, James Small. Despite the penalty, Small is currently with the team at Atlanta due to the ongoing appeal process, with no appeal date announced by NASCAR yet. Briscoe, three race weekends into his new tenure at Joe Gibbs Racing, acknowledges the setback but is prepared to continue racing and building chemistry with his team, believing it’s a must-win situation for him at JGR. He understands the impact of the penalty on his season’s margin for error, emphasizing the need to stay competitive and focused on securing victories moving forward.
