Race wins sometimes take a greater meaning in motorsports drivers’ lives. And in the case of Chase Briscoe, the 2020 Toyota 200 race came at a time where he had endured some of the most difficult days in life.

But showing great character and strength, Chase put on a mighty brilliant performance in the race. Stealing the lead with 50 laps to go, he fended off the challenge from veteran racer Kyle Busch to take home the victory.

Naturally, the 25-year-old was overcome with emotions, as he revealed being in a different mental space during the race. And speaking after the event, tears were very much visible on Briscoe’s face.

Chase Briscoe called it the ‘biggest day’ of his life

Briscoe stated after the race, “This is for my wife. This is the hardest week I’ve ever had to deal with, and God is so good, man. Even when I took the lead with 50 to go, I was crying inside the race car, and just emotionally, I wasn’t there at all. There’s nothing to say other than that God is so glorious.”

Briscoe’s race win came just two days after suffering a huge personal loss in his life. And understandably, the victory meant so much more to him than just another racing statistic.

“But this is more than a race win, this is you know the biggest day of my life after the toughest day of my life. So just to be able to beat the best there is, you know so satisfying,” concluded a very emotional Briscoe.

Briscoe came incredibly close to winning the Xfinity Series championship
