Overview
- The right-side tire failed in Turn 3 during Stage 2, sending the No. 19 Toyota into the outside wall and out of the Straight Talk Wireless 500.
- Briscoe had flagged a persistent vibration for roughly 10–15 laps before the failure.
- Officials listed him 37th after the team was unable to fix the damage, giving him a second straight DNF and leaving him deep in the early standings after entering Phoenix 27th with 46 points.
- He had shown pace from a 20th starting spot and had just taken third from points leader Tyler Reddick shortly before the incident.
- After parking, he radioed, "Yeah, I read the DVP map this week," referencing last week’s COTA dispute with crew chief James Small, with reports differing on whether the crash occurred on lap 72 or 131.
