NASCAR Xfinity driver Chase Briscoe talked about his prep for the race. Chase won two of the last three Xfinity Series races. He said, “Yeah, I’ve been practicing on the simulator since February for the Indy race. I go to the simulator every Wednesday and every Wednesday I’ve been running at least an hour-and-a-half to two hours at Indy, just trying to get prepared for the race track.”

He added that he feels like he has a pretty good idea of the track. He said, “It’s hard to really say how much the simulator will correlate over to the real-life thing, but I feel like I have a really good general idea of what to do and I’m not gonna be lost for those first couple of laps”
