Joe Gibbs Racing has announced the addition of Chase Briscoe to their team for the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season. The Indiana driver has signed a multi-year contract to drive the No. 19 Toyota Camry starting next year, with primary sponsorship from Bass Pro Shops.
Briscoe, in his fourth full season in the NASCAR Cup Series, is currently 16th in the points standings after a second-place finish in last Sunday's race at New Hampshire. Throughout his series career, he has achieved 12 top-5 finishes, 27 top-10s, and two pole positions. His first win came at Phoenix Raceway in March 2022, and that same year, he advanced to the Round of 8 in the playoffs, finishing ninth in the final standings.
The Mitchell, Indiana native began his career on dirt tracks before transitioning to stock cars in 2015. His resume includes 11 NASCAR Xfinity Series victories and two in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series. He was also the ARCA Menards Series champion in 2016.
Chase Briscoe expressed his excitement about joining Joe Gibbs Racing, highlighting the opportunity to compete for wins and championships. He also mentioned his personal affinity for the Bass Pro brand due to his love for outdoor activities.
Briscoe will work with crew chief James Small, who has guided Martin Truex Jr. to eight victories since 2020. Joe Gibbs, the team owner, emphasized the thorough research conducted before selecting Briscoe as their driver.
Briscoe will debut with his new team in the 2025 season, starting with the DAYTONA 500 on February 16. The collaboration between Joe Gibbs Racing and Chase Briscoe promises a promising future in the NASCAR Cup Series.
