Chase Briscoe has Definitely Improved on Intermediate Tracks
Chase Briscoe continued his run as NASCAR's most dominant qualifier with a second-place qualifying run on Saturday at Las Vegas. Although he finished fourth in the fall race in 2022, he normally doesn't run well here, although he has run better at most tracks since he switched to Joe Gibbs Racing after Stewart-Haas Racing, which was typically slow on intermediates in that era, closed down. He has earned top-five finishes at the last four unrestricted 1.5-mile oval races since the last race at Las Vegas, so he'll likely run well. But he's still never finished better than third on this track type, which means he'll likely lose a couple positions from where he starts, and he doesn't tend to dominate on intermediate tracks, either, so he likely won't get many lap-leader points. For those reasons, as well as his relatively high salary of $9,700, he's not the best option.
