[autotag]Chase Briscoe[/autotag]’s world was turned upside down when Stewart-Haas Racing announced it would shut down after 2024; however, it may have been the start of a new, incredible era. Briscoe is regarded as the “top candidate” to join Joe Gibbs Racing following Martin Truex Jr.’s announcement that he will retire after the 2024 NASCAR season.
Briscoe talked to FOX Sports’ Bob Pockrass and gave a big update on his plans for the 2025 season. Amid rumors that he will join Joe Gibbs Racing, the Stewart-Haas Racing driver is getting closer to a deal.
“I feel like I’m pretty close [to a deal for 2025],” Briscoe said. “I feel pretty good about it. There’s a lot of different [factors in the decision]. Performance is one thing that definitely weighing the options is something that is important, the future and what the future looks like. And then obviously, the other part is, what’s going to be the best to provide for my family. With twins on the way, I’m going to have three kids. That is a real thought now, just what’s going to set us up for the future in the best way.”
Briscoe wouldn’t have been allowed to join Joe Gibbs Racing if Stewart-Haas Racing didn’t plan to shut down, so this situation is a prime example of how everything happens for a reason in NASCAR. The 29-year-old driver seems likely to go from Stewart-Haas Racing to one of the best NASCAR organizations in the Cup Series.
