Chase Briscoe took a dig at Stewart-Haas Racing while hailing Joe Gibbs Racing

Chase Briscoe took a jibe at his former team, Stewart-Haas Racing, pointing at their performance. Briscoe, who joined JGR from SHR this year, jibed at the "slow" car by SHR as compared to JGR. Here's what he said:

"Kevin Harvick says it all the time. You can’t drive a slow car fast. Every time we came to Kansas, I ran 25th to 30th. As soon as I got out [today], I said, ‘Well, I guess it maybe wasn’t me this whole time.’

“We just always go backwards every race, and you can only drive the car as fast as it’ll go. JGR’s cars’ potential is just unbelievable compared to what I’m used to," Briscoe further added.

Chase Briscoe joined JGR after Tony Stewart decided to withdraw SHR from NASCAR at the end of 2024. After he changed his team, his performance improved statistically. Currently, Briscoe is in 12th place with 278 points after 12 races, whereas he was in 14th place with 2184 points at the end of last season.
