After Speeding Ticket and Two Penalties, Chase Briscoe Rallies to 8th in Vegas

Overview

• Briscoe said he was ticketed on a public road driving to Las Vegas Motor Speedway, then was penalized for speeding on pit road during the race.
• He also drew a penalty for pitting outside his assigned box under caution, which dropped him to the tail of the field and a lap down.
• A late caution granted the free pass to rejoin the lead lap with about 50 to go, and he charged through traffic to finish eighth.
• Briscoe called the errors his responsibility and said the No. 19 had top-three speed despite missing out on stage points.
• Teammates Denny Hamlin and Ty Gibbs were also nabbed for speeding, yet Joe Gibbs Racing put all four cars in the top eight as Briscoe left Vegas 26th in the standings.
