Chase Briscoe Recovers from Incident with Daniel Suarez to Finish Second
Chase Briscoe had a topsy-turvy day at Gateway, where he started third and finish second but as usual struggled a lot more than his finishing result implies. When leader Kyle Larson pitted on the first caution, that allowed Briscoe's teammate Denny Hamlin to take the lead with Briscoe moving into second. In a replay of last week at Darlington, Briscoe quickly dispensed of Hamlin to win Stage 1, but he never led again. After locking up his wheels, he wrecked Daniel Suárez, which took Suárez out of the race and did some minor damage to Briscoe's car. However, savvy pit strategy allowed Briscoe to return to the front as he jumped the eventual winner Hamlin on his final pit stop after taking two tires before Hamlin eventually passed them before the race's final and they both passed Brad Keselowski who stayed out of the pits. Briscoe falls to second in points behind Hamlin, but that's basically irrelevant since he won last week.
