Chase Briscoe Moves Above Playoff Cut Line With Fourth-Place Finish
Although Chase Briscoe qualified fourth for Sunday's Homestead race (higher than any of his Joe Gibbs Racing teammates), a lot of people had rather low expectations given his history of struggling on intermediates for Stewart-Haas Racing. However, JGR is a lot faster than SHR on those tracks, and he had a lot more staying power than most people expected since he also finished fourth. He faded from view in Stage 2 after a slow pit stop but gradually worked his way through the field and he made a strong charge from eighth to third in the latter portions of Stage 3 and even came close to passing then-leaders Bubba Wallace and Alex Bowman before Kyle Larson ended up passing all three of them. The race really improved his playoff position, as he rose from 20th to 13th in points and is now above the playoff cut line.
