Chase Briscoe’s Eye-Opening Transition to JGR: A New Chapter Begins

Chase Briscoe is finally getting a taste of top-tier NASCAR excellence after moving from a struggling Stewart-Haas Racing to the powerhouse of Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR). And based on his early experience at Bowman Gray Stadium, the difference is night and day.

The 2025 season has officially kicked off with the Cook Out Clash at ‘The Madhouse,’ a race Briscoe is using as an early yardstick to measure the gap between SHR and JGR. The stark reality? JGR is on another level.

A ‘Crazy’ Difference From SHR to JGR

During an interview with Bob Pockrass, Briscoe gave an unfiltered take on what it’s like to be part of a championship-caliber organization.

“The cars are really, really, really good. It’s hard to tell what you’re after the whole season, but it’s like this – it’s just crazy, truthfully, how much different it is. Yeah, really excited. Hopefully, we’re going to have a good run tomorrow night. Looking forward to the season this year.”

Briscoe didn’t hold back when discussing the contrast between his old and new team. SHR’s struggles in recent years were no secret. Despite its glorious past, the team collapsed under sponsorship woes, dwindling results, and poor performance data management—all of which contributed to its eventual demise.

Joe Gibbs Racing, meanwhile, operates like a well-oiled machine. Every race strategy, car setup, and in-race adjustment is driven by data and precision, something Briscoe never fully had at SHR.

First Laps at Bowman Gray: The Pressure is Real

Briscoe is still adjusting to his new surroundings. He admitted that in qualifying for the Cook Out Clash, he fell into old habits, overdriving the car and trying too hard—something that could cost him on a tight short track like Bowman Gray.

“Doing the same thing I did in qualifying, where I was just trying so hard. I know how important that front row is going to be. I just wanted to calm down a little bit and I kept doing what I was doing…Overall, it’s a really good start, you know.”

That self-awareness is what JGR will help refine. If Briscoe can learn to control his emotions and trust the process, he may finally unlock his full potential—something that SHR simply couldn’t help him do.

Can Briscoe Thrive at JGR?

Briscoe is stepping into a No. 19 car that previously belonged to Martin Truex Jr., a former Cup Series champion who built a dominant legacy at JGR. Those are massive shoes to fill, but Briscoe isn’t backing down.

He has elite equipment, elite strategy, and a team that believes in him. Now, it’s up to him to prove that his talent was never the problem at SHR—it was the team around him.

So, has Chase Briscoe finally found his stride at JGR?

It’s still too soon to tell, but based on his early impressions, he’s already realizing that with the right team behind him, anything is possible.
