The retirement of Martin Truex Jr. has had a significant impact on the racing driver market. The announcement that Stewart Haas Racing will cease operations by the end of 2024 has left four talented drivers without a team for the upcoming season. These drivers, including Chase Briscoe, are highly sought after by other teams.
Prior to the race in Iowa, it was revealed that Joe Gibbs Racing will retire from full-time racing at the end of the season. This means that the No.19 seat will be the most coveted position for the next season, and rumors suggest that SHR drivers are the favorites. Chase Briscoe, considered the top available driver in the market, provided an update on his future.
Chase Briscoe is the leading candidate to replace Martin Truex Jr. at Joe Gibbs Racing. He recently commented on the possibility of leaving Ford and not participating in sprint-car races. Briscoe’s statements came after he was asked about his plans for the next year. He stated that he is close to finalizing a deal for 2025 and is optimistic about the situation he finds himself in. Briscoe emphasized that there are several factors, beyond performance, that will influence his decision-making process. He is considering all available options at the moment.
The Ford driver is determined to secure the best deal for his family. With three children on the way, he wants to ensure a bright future for them. This will be a significant factor in his decision-making process.
It will be interesting to see how the 2024 rumor season unfolds and where Briscoe will end up next year. Given his skill and desirability, he will likely have the best chance of securing a seat with any team in the market.
