[autotag]Joe Gibbs Racing[/autotag] has finally confirmed NASCAR’s worst-kept secret. On Tuesday afternoon, Joe Gibbs Racing announced that [autotag]Chase Briscoe[/autotag] will replace Martin Truex Jr. in the No. 19 car for the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season. Briscoe drives for Stewart-Haas Racing but needed to find a new ride as the organization shuts down after Phoenix Raceway in November.
Christopher Bell seemed to confirm the reports of Briscoe headed to Joe Gibbs Racing when he accidentally said “Chase” when talking about replacing Truex. In 2024, Briscoe has two top-5 and six top-10 finishes in 18 races. With eight races left in the NASCAR regular season, the driver of the No. 14 car sits 25 points behind the playoff cut-line.

This is a massive career move for Briscoe, who moves to one of NASCAR’s best Cup Series organizations. Joe Gibbs Racing has been very successful with the NextGen car and displays great speed weekly. Briscoe will have a prime opportunity to show his talent in the No. 19 car starting in 2025, and it’s an excellent decision for everyone involved.
