The “Unlikely” Success Story of Chase Briscoe

From a small-town dirt racer to a legitimate NASCAR championship contender, Chase Briscoe’s rise has been anything but conventional. His win at Talladega sealed his spot in the Championship 4, but what makes this story remarkable isn’t just the result — it’s how far he’s come from the ashes of Stewart-Haas Racing to the spotlight of Joe Gibbs Racing.

• How did Briscoe go from SHR’s fading No. 14 to leading the charge at JGR?
• Why did so many doubt he could handle elite-level equipment — and how did he prove them wrong?
• What turned his midseason slump into one of the most dominant playoff stretches of 2025?
• And what does this resurgence mean for NASCAR’s new generation of stars heading into Phoenix?

Love him or underestimate him, Chase Briscoe has rewritten his narrative — not as a placeholder, but as a driver who belongs among NASCAR’s best. And if this late-season form holds, he might just finish what he started back in Darlington.
