Hampton, GA. – The phone calls came into a flurry on Wednesday to chase Briscoe, including the managing director of the Cup Series, Brad Moran, who informed the driver of the impending criminal announcement.
To an offense with the spoil On Briscoe’s Daytona 500 car, Nascar Briscoe reported 100 points and 10 play -offs, Joe Gibbs Racing 100 team owner points and 10 play -offs penalized, fined the team $ 100,000 and suspended crew head James Small four races.
“I’m blown that night,” Briscoe said on Atlanta Motor Speedway on Saturday. “When I went to bed the next morning and woke up, you just had to go on. There was nothing I could do to change the outcome. … from my point of view I am just the best I can prepare and try to win the race this week, next week. “
Fords take 10 of the top 11 places in the qualification for Sunday’s race.
Joe Gibbs Racing appeals the decision. This allows Small to be at Atlanta Motor Speedway this weekend, but from now on Briscoe is on -67 points in the season standings that enter the second race of the year. No date was announced for the appeal.
“If we don’t win the appeal, Uu Mulligans used up,” Briscoe said. “You have three or four times where you have a DNF throughout the season and still make the playoffs.”
Briscoe said before the season he felt he was in a must-win situation this season, because he is now with Joe Gibbs Racing, giving him the best chance in his career to win, so nothing changes in his thoughts, not even with the punishment.
“When my back stands against the wall (to make the playoffs), I don’t hate the feeling,” Briscoe said. “I feel like I’m doing better in those situations many times.”
After a difficult 2024, the team owned by Jimmie Johnson made several changes to help managers John Hunter Nemechek and Erik Jones.
Briscoe starts 25th in Sunday’s race in Atlanta.
He showed speed during the collision at Bowman Gray Stadium before a mechanical issue set him up. Briscoe won the Daytona 500 pole and finished fourth.
“We really had a good speed and we haven’t even known each other yet,” Briscoe said of his new ride this season. “I’m excited about what this opportunity is.”
