It seems NASCAR has earned another critic in the form of Stewart-Haas Racing‘s veteran driver Chase Briscoe! Despite the driver finishing P10 in his latest race at Martinsville for a team that has been struggling to show results, he was far from satisfied. Laying all of his cards out, the 29-year-old revealed how SHR’s new racing product was not any different from what he already had. He also spoke in detail about the “passing” debacle that racers have been facing of late. 

The new racing product did not make a difference at Martinsville this year

When it came to dissecting his run at Martinsville, Chase Briscoe was as straightforward as anyone could get. So, when journalist Matt Weaver asked him what he thought of the “new racing product”, the #14 driver revealed nothing’s changed.

“It thought it was no different…it was the same like, the exact same. Tire was wearing out a little bit more than what we had seen in the past but from a feel standpoint like, it kind of slipped around a little bit last year cause it was hotter than that day or what but yeah, it’s frustrating. We need to figure out something…we don’t want the same lap times for 80-something laps,” the driver said.

The issue here was not the speed, but the fact that there was no improvement after a point when there probably should have been. But the result was still satisfactory for a team that is nowhere near as good as it should be. Now, with light at the end of the tunnel after a long time, Chase Briscoe seems to be geared up.

Stewart-Haas Racing might not have won a race so far, but the #14 car has finished in the top-15 four times in the last four races. And many would agree things might be looking up. After a lackluster season last year, the team is perhaps taking every small win that it can get, even if it means a Top-10 finish. Now with a clear sight in focus, the aim, for Briscoe, will be to maintain this consistency. And he sure did sound ready! 

The driver, while mentioning how he had a top-performing car at Martinsville, exuded hope about the upcoming race at Texas Motor Speedway.  “I think it builds good momentum. Any time you run in the top 10, it’s a solid day and for us..We’ve been 8th to 13th place, every single week. That’s kind of where we have been, so that was the frustrating thing I would say from today. I think we were a top 3 car, top 4 car but we are in 10th. It’s definitely encouraging to get top 10, it’s a solid points day, especially for us. We’re right on that bubble, so we need the point days. Definitely builds momentum,” the 29-year-old added.

That being said, will Chase Briscoe be able to keep this consistency when NASCAR goes to Texas next weekend or will Stewart-Haas Racing’s old issues come back to haunt them? Let us know your thoughts.
