Briscoe looking for Darlington history with a third straight Southern 500 to start NASCAR playoffs
Briscoe has won the last two Southern 500s and could join seven other drivers with three straight victories, officials said.
- On Sunday, Joe Gibbs Racing driver Chase Briscoe seeks his third consecutive Southern 500 victory at Darlington Raceway, which would match a feat achieved by seven Hall of Famers.
- Briscoe won the Triple-A tier series race in 2021 and has pushed 'all the right buttons' on the track dubbed 'Too Tough to Tame' over the past two years.
- Playoff favorites Denny Hamlin and Tyler Reddick enter The Chase as co-favorites at plus-500 odds; Hamlin holds the record with 19 playoff appearances and 14 playoff race wins.
- Seeded 16th, RFK Racing's Ryan Preece plans an aggressive strategy after winning at Daytona last week. "We have nothing to lose," Preece said.
- While Briscoe chases three consecutive wins, only NASCAR Hall of Famer Jeff Gordon holds the record with four straight victories from 1995-98, and the 10-race playoff format ensures no immediate eliminations.
