Chase Briscoe to Join Joe Gibbs Racing in 2025
In a significant career move, Chase Briscoe will be joining Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) for the 2025 NASCAR season. Briscoe, currently driving the No. 14 car for Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR), is set to replace the retiring Martin Truex Jr. in JGR’s No. 19 car
The announcement comes on the heels of SHR’s decision to close operations at the end of 2024. Upon hearing the news, Briscoe wasted no time in reaching out to other teams, ultimately securing a seat with one of NASCAR’s top organizations. The swift transition saw Briscoe sign his contract with JGR just days after SHR’s closure announcement
JGR’s team owner, Joe Gibbs, emphasized that the decision to bring Briscoe on board was driven by both his character and his potential for winning. Unlike other teams, JGR did not require Briscoe to bring additional sponsorship, which underscored their confidence in his abilities and fit within the team
Briscoe, who has shown resilience and strategic foresight during this turbulent period, is preparing for the remainder of the current season with SHR. His focus is on delivering strong performances to solidify his standing within NASCAR and demonstrate his capabilities to his future team
As Briscoe looks ahead to joining JGR, his immediate goal is to capitalize on opportunities like the upcoming race at Sonoma Raceway, which presents a significant chance to showcase his skill and adaptability.
