During a media session at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Christopher Bell unintentionally revealed that Chase Briscoe is the likely successor to Martin Truex Jr. at Joe Gibbs Racing. Bell discussed leadership roles within the team as Truex retires and Denny Hamlin takes on a mentor role for young drivers like Bell and Ty Gibbs. Bell mentioned Briscoe as the rumored replacement for Truex, inadvertently confirming the speculation. This news comes at a time when Briscoe is seeking a new ride after Stewart-Haas Racing announced the impending closure of its operation. Truex’s retirement from full-time Cup competition opens up a coveted spot in NASCAR, potentially filled by Chase Briscoe. Thanks to Bell’s slip-up, the future of the Joe Gibbs Racing lineup seems to be taking shape.
