Backup Car Is No Problem For Briscoe At Dover

DOVER, Del. – Despite having to go to a backup car for Sunday’s Drydene 200 at Dover Int’l Speedway, Chase Briscoe came through the field for his series-leading sixth NASCAR Xfinity Series win of the year.

Briscoe passed Saturday winner Justin Allgaier on lap 71 of 200 at the one-mile concrete oval and controlled the remainder of the race from there.

He won stage two handily and only gave up the lead during the final stage to make his green-flag pit stop for fuel and tires with 35 to go.

While others stayed out long in hopes of catching a game-changing caution, Briscoe held the course and eventually cycled back to the point with 13 laps left.

Briscoe then drove home to a 2.463-second victory over Ross Chastain. In all, he led three times for 107 of the race’s 200 laps.

“As soon as we took the green I knew that I was going to be really good. The car was way better than what it was yesterday and was really what I was looking for,” Briscoe noted. “We were able to finish sixth in the first stage from the back and I knew if we could get clean air I was going to be in really good shape. The long run, I felt like I was not the greatest but I think having clean air helped. I lost the race last year because I didn’t come to pit road hard enough and I still obviously gave up a lot of time to Ross (Chastain). I have to get a lot better at that. That is my biggest weakness right now.

“I didn’t want a caution because I had such a good lead but I also was wanting a caution so I didn’t have to do a green flag pit stop,” Briscoe added. “I am super happy to get HighPoint.com back in victory lane. It feels like it has been forever but it has only been a month and a half. Hopefully we can carry the momentum into the playoffs.”

Behind Briscoe and Chastain, five-time Xfinity season winner Austin Cindric was third, followed by Brandon Jones and Daniel Hemric.

Noah Gragson and Allgaier were sixth and seventh, respectively, and were the final two cars on the lead lap after the final stage ran green from lap 97 to the finish.

Michael Annett, Riley Herbst and Brett Moffitt completed the top 10.

Including the two stage breaks and a lap-20 competition yellow, the race was slowed five times by caution. Incidents came on lap 11, when Vinnie Miller came across Jeffrey Earnhardt’s nose and smacked the backstretch wall, and on lap 64 when Riley Herbst and Earnhardt made contact that led to Earnhardt spinning in turn two.
