Chase Briscoe's Cinderella Story Will Likely End At Charlotte
2 months agoChase Briscoe is almost certainly not going to advance to the Round of 8 in the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs since he enters Sunday's race at the Charlotte roval 12th in the standings, 32 points behind Chase Elliott for the final transfer spot. Briscoe does have solid runs on road courses periodically and just finished sixth and scored the most points in the last road course race at Watkins Glen, which helped him to improbably advance to the Round of 12 this year. But don't look for lightning to strike twice. In order to gain 32 points on Elliott, he would almost certainly have to win or accumulate a lot of stage points, which is very unlikely since he is starting 25th, last among the drivers still eligible for the playoffs. His attempt at a Cinderella run almost certainly ends here.
