NASCAR CUP SERIES: BASS PRO SHOPS NIGHT RACE

September 21, 2024

Chase Briscoe

Pit Lane Interview

Q. Chase Briscoe makes it into the Round of 12. You had a really strong night, a good race car, but not without a couple of hiccups. You had your rear view camera go out, smoke in the cockpit, a slow pit stop. How stressful was this race for you?

CHASE BRISCOE: Honestly, it wasn't really stressful. I knew our Rush Truck Centers Ford was really, really good, and even when we had that bad pit stop, we came out 13th or 14th and I felt like I could drive back up there. At the end, probably bled three or four spots just trying to not do anything stupid, and felt like both arms got tetanus shots.

Overall a great night for us. Hopefully people will start taking us serious. I truly feel like we can battle for the championship. Hopefully tonight proved that. I hate that we had to kind of dig ourselves out of a hole after Atlanta, but hopefully can go on to Kansas and start this next round strong. I feel like we can beat anybody on any given day when we put it together from start to finish, and obviously tonight we did have some hiccups but we were still able to have a good finish and that's what this championship run is going to be all about. So yeah, go on to the next one.

Q. What is the strength of this team right now?

CHASE BRISCOE: I think just our backs are up against the wall. No other team in the sport can relate to what we're going through and just how hungry we all are. I think we all want to go out as winners, and we just know that we're capable of doing it if we put it together.

I think for us, when we finally did win at Darlington, we kind of proved that to ourselves, and just the confidence that's came with over the last three weeks has been a lot. Looking forward to the next six or seven, however many we've got left.
