Chase Briscoe, the NASCAR sensation, hailed his No. 19 car as a ‘rocket ship’ following his impressive runner-up finish at Sonoma. Despite narrowly missing out on victory to Shane van Gisbergen at the Toyota/Save Mart 350, Briscoe showcased immense positivity and admiration for his team and car’s performance.

The Joe Gibbs Racing driver, Briscoe, displayed his gratitude towards SVG’s road course supremacy while acknowledging his own team’s efforts. Leading twice for a total of two laps during the race, Briscoe ultimately settled for second place, securing his seventh Top-5 finish of the season. Despite a fierce battle with Shane van Gisbergen during a late-race restart, Briscoe couldn’t quite match the No. 88 driver’s pace.

In a post-race interview, Briscoe candidly expressed, “We were definitely the second-best car. I don’t really know what more I need – maybe a little bit a grip, but even if I had a little more grip, I don’t know if I’m going to be able to gain the speed that he had.” However, Briscoe’s admiration for his team’s achievement was evident as he humorously referred to his No. 19 Toyota as a ‘rocket ship’, illustrating his pride in their performance.

The Sonoma race served as a redemption for Briscoe, following disappointing finishes in Atlanta and the Chicago Street Race after his victory at Pocono. The comparison between Briscoe and Chase Elliott’s recent dominance on the racetrack, in contrast to Shane van Gisbergen’s multiple triumphs, added an intriguing layer to the NASCAR narrative.

Furthermore, Briscoe highlighted feeling undervalued in terms of recognition for his performance, expressing his desire to earn respect through his on-track results. Drawing parallels between Shane van Gisbergen and basketball legend Michael Jordan, Briscoe’s admiration for his competitors was palpable, emphasizing the competitive spirit within NASCAR.

As Briscoe continues to make his mark in the NASCAR Cup Series, currently ranking 8th with notable stage and playoff points, his journey towards solidifying his position among the racing elite unfolds with each race. The blend of camaraderie, rivalry, and determination in NASCAR sets the stage for thrilling encounters and unexpected outcomes, keeping fans on the edge of their seats with each turn of the wheel.
