Joe Gibbs Racing driver Chase Briscoe finished 18th in the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday. Briscoe started the race from the pole position in first and ran away with the lead early on, leading laps until the race's first caution for incident on lap 17. Briscoe lost the lead through pit road, but regained it by the end of the stage as the drivers in front of him went to pit road for fuel. Briscoe went on to win the first stage of the race and collect stage points. In the second stage, Briscoe lost the lead through pit stops during the stage break and spent his time in the middle of the pack. Despite inheriting the lead again by lap 90, Briscoe caught a caution and was mired back in traffic again due to having to hit pit road at the same time. He ended the second stage in 11th, falling short of scoring further stage points. In the final stage, Briscoe spent the entire stage working his way back up to the top 10 and eventually did so during overtime. However, Briscoe and the No. 19 team elected to take tires and fuel before the final restart, sending him to the back where he would be unable to make up much ground and placed 18th, marking a new career-best Cup finish at Indianapolis.--Sean Engel - RotoBaller
