Chase Briscoe's Championship Bid Never Really Started After Two Tire Failures
Chase Briscoe looked a little outmatched in the Championship 4 since his opponents Kyle Larson, Denny Hamlin, and William Byron were all vastly more experienced in championship battles, but Briscoe tried his hardest, and in a race where all four Championship 4 drivers had tire issues, Briscoe certainly had his moments. Although Briscoe qualified 12th, he drove up to fifth before he popped a tire to help trigger the race's third caution. Although he fell to 32nd, he miraculously drove all the way back up to second before he got trapped a lap down after a caution came out on Lap 220 after he blew another tire. Amazingly, he re-entered the top five and even led a few laps after taking two tires, but he got shuffled out on the final caution because the tires he had left were of lower quality than those of the other teams, resulting in an 18th-place finish, but his third-place championship finish is still far better than most people expected.
