For the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series season, rookie driver Chase Briscoe will link up with crew chief Johnny Klausmeier. With this, the 2021 grid is steadily shaping up in all aspects. However, who fills in as Briscoe’s spotter is still a massive mystery.

The newly-appointed Stewart-Haas Racing driver recently spoke about the new developments in the team. He said, “Johnny and me have been going through the simulator and everything else. Spotter’s still…That’s one that I would love to know as well.”

This season will mark Briscoe’s debut in the Cup Series with the Stewart-Haas Racing team. It is worth noting that he is a rookie driver on the 2021 grid, and he can benefit from his experienced teammates.

In other words, he can learn from Kevin Harvick, Aric Almirola, and Cole Custer.

What can we expect from Chase Briscoe in 2021?

As a rookie, one can scarcely expect him to be in the running for a Cup title challenge. However, stranger things have happened.

He will have to contend with many competitors. Obviously, Chase Elliott will want to defend his title and the rest of the Hendrick Motorsports squad will also have designs on the 2021 title. Others, like the Joe Gibbs Racing drivers, Briscoe’s own teammates, and a few other wildcards, could be in with a shout.

However, nothing concrete can be gauged until the 2021 season begins and tires have touched the tarmac. Up until then, it could be anybody’s game, though they have to consider the playoffs.

Last year, Kevin Harvick was in supreme form, with nine wins in the season. Statistically, he should have been the Cup Series champion.

Unfortunately, he stumbled at the wrong moment and missed out on a chance of making the Championship 4. As a result, he will have to try again in this coming season and do it all over from square one.
