If Chase Briscoe is going to win the 2025 NASCAR<\/a> Cup Series championship, he\u2019s going to have to put together a fine performance next month at Phoenix Raceway. But not too long ago, Phoenix was admittedly one of his \u201cleast favorite tracks to go to.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s amazing, however, how winning cures all. Briscoe won there in 2022, his first Cup win. Since then, he\u2019s grown to like the track much more. <\/p>\n

\u201cPhoenix is a weird one for me,\u201d Briscoe said on Tuesday\u2019s Dale Jr. Download<\/a>. \u201cIt was always one of my three worst tracks and one of my least favorite tracks to go to. In 2022, or whatever it was, I went there and won the Cup race and got my first Cup win there. Kind of from that moment on I started to like it, obviously, and felt like I got a lot better around there. <\/p>\n

\u201cI put a lot of work in there because I was so bad there that it kind of forced me to really look at myself in the mirror and try figure out what I can be doing better here. I don\u2019t know, some of it I think helped that we used to be able to run up by the wall in [Turns] 1 and 2 there. That\u2019s kind of went away a little bit. But certainly, when the track started to widen out is when I got better there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chase Briscoe feels \u2018really good about\u2019 Phoenix<\/p>\n

Briscoe is locked into the Championship 4 by way of his victory in this past Sunday\u2019s Round of 8 playoff race at Talladega Superspeedway. He\u2019s been as consistent as any driver this season, and it\u2019s likely he\u2019ll need a fourth win this season to become a champion. <\/p>\n

Obviously, he hopes that comes at Phoenix. Briscoe is confident in his chances of getting to Victory Lane.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel really good about it,\u201d Briscoe said. \u201cThe JGR cars in general are gonna be really good at Phoenix. I know [crew chief] James [Small] is super excited that we\u2019re going there. Yeah, I feel really good about it. Just where were at as a race team right now, there\u2019s really not been a single type of racetrack we\u2019ve been to that we\u2019ve not been fast. I know that we\u2019re gonna be fast again when we go there next week, it\u2019s just a matter of executing and putting it all together.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If Chase Briscoe is going to win the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series championship, he\u2019s going to have to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":235899,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[446],"tags":[49,48,634,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-235898","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nascar","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-nascar","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235898","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=235898"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235898\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/235899"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=235898"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=235898"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=235898"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
