Chase Briscoe with a timely, last turn push from his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Ty Gibbs won Sunday’s dramatic YellaWood 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. The hard driving 30-year-old Mitchell, Indiana, driver captured certainly the biggest win of his NASCAR Cup career.
Briscoe’s huge Talladega victory punched his ticket into the 2025 Championship Round of 4 for his first chance to capture a NASCAR Cup Series championship finale at Phoenix in two weeks. Briscoe now joins Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Denny Hamlin whose win at Las Vegas last Sunday made him the first driver locked into the 2025 NASCAR Championship Round of 4.
