Chase Briscoe Probably Won't Win the Title
Despite being the dominant qualifier this year, Championship 4 driver Chase Briscoe qualified 12th for Sunday's championship race at Phoenix. Perhaps this shouldn't have been as much of a surprise as it was, as despite seven poles, 22 top-10 starts this year, and only four starts outside the top 10 in the season's second half, he also qualified poorly at Richmond and Loudon and had his worst start of the season (a 30th-place finish) in the spring race at Phoenix. In that race, he crashed out, but he has been strong at Phoenix in the past, winning the first race in 2022 and earning four top-10 finishes in his starts with Stewart-Haas Racing. However, despite the positive momentum he's shown in the playoffs, it's extremely difficult to pass at Phoenix, so it's hard to see him beating all three of his championship rivals when they swept the top three positions in qualifying.
