After Kevin Harvick’s retirement, the driver of the No:14 Ford Mustang became the main driver of Stewart Haas Racing. He is the only driver on the team who has already achieved victory in a Cup race. He is also the only team member of the four drivers who has secured a spot in the Cup for the 2025 season and has a primary sponsorship.
Additionally, he is the only driver, alongside [NAME], who has consistently performed well for the team in the last two races. Briscoe had a good performance on Sunday in Phoenix, where he finished ninth. However, it was not without controversy, as he was involved in a dispute with the driver of the Toyota Camry No:43 from Legacy Motor Club.
Jones, who crashed after finding himself in an unfavorable situation with four cars side by side, caused by Briscoe, criticized the aggressive driving style of the SHR driver. This has been a recurring issue throughout the year, as the two rarely compete for the same positions. Briscoe, in response to the driver from [NAME], stated that he would adopt a more aggressive approach in his races, as he was receiving the same treatment as the leaders.
One of the main changes introduced in Phoenix was the implementation of a new aerodynamic package for Next-Gen cars. This change was implemented to deal with the traffic issues faced by the 7th Generation car on short tracks and was developed over the last season.
The Ford star was one of the many drivers who gave positive feedback on this. He noted that, while it may not be a perfect solution, it improved the racing experience. Briscoe also acknowledged that, due to his limited experience and young age, he may not be the best person to judge the changes.
