Polesitter Chase Briscoe added another runner-up finish to his résumé in Sunday afternoon’s Iowa Corn 350 at Iowa Speedway. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver was unable to catch race winner William Byron during the final run but still secured his third second-place finish in the last four races. Briscoe continues to build momentum with just three events remaining before the Cup Series Playoffs begin.
“It kind of died once I got there. I ran him down and I thought I was going to be really good. I was better in (turns) 1 and 2 and I kind of struggled in (turns) 3 and 4 compared to him,” said Briscoe. “Once I got there, he started taking my air and my car just kind of died as soon as that happened. I thought I was going to be able to still be good, especially as he caught lapped traffic there. I still just didn’t quite have enough there. It’s unfortunate, I was trying everything I had, I just didn’t have anything left in the tank. Good recovery for our Bass Pro Shops Toyota, I would have loved to win. William (Bryon) did a great job, it’s just the way it goes today.”

Bubba Wallace followed up last weekend’s victory at Indianapolis with a sixth-place finish Sunday. Wallace’s day was eventful – contact with another car resulted in a broken toe link – but his 23XI Racing team was more than up to the task. Despite having to take two free passes, Wallace rallied to earn his ninth top-10 finish of the season.
William Sawalich was the top-finishing Toyota in Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series race with a 11th-place result. Sam Mayer was the race winner. Justin Bonsignore brought home his best career finish of 12th.
“Our Starkey GR Supra was pretty good today, as fast as Xfinity Mobile,” said Sawalich. “We just couldn’t fire off on the restarts as well as we wanted to. Our long run speed was pretty good, but by that time we were too far out there to really do much. I’m proud of the guys for the car they brought. We were consistently in the top-10 all day but we couldn’t get the restarts where we wanted them to.”
