Briscoe, now a five-time winner in the NASCAR Cup Series, just wrapped his first full-time campaign for Joe Gibbs Racing, after being tapped to replace the retiring Martin Truex, Jr. in the No. 19 Toyota Camry XSE. Part of the Mitchell, Indiana-native’s identity, at least in 2025, has been his full-season sponsorship with Bass Pro Shops.
It didn’t take long for Briscoe to get to performing in a stellar fashion for JGR, winning three events — Pocono, Darlington (Southern 500), and Talladega — and collecting an impressive 15 top-five and 19 top-10 finishes, making him one of the most successful drivers on the 2025 campaign.
The victory at Talladega Superspeedway in October was enough to put Briscoe into the Championship 4 for the first time, and allowed him to go head-to-head with teammate Denny Hamlin and two drivers (Kyle Larson and William Byron) from Hendrick Motorsports in search of his first title. After an 18th-place finish at Phoenix, Briscoe ended up finishing third in the final point standings.
