The Road to the Championship 4
Briscoe, driver of the No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota, secured his spot in the Championship 4 by winning at Talladega Superspeedway earlier in the semifinal round of the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs.
He is joined in the title-deciding race by three other elite drivers: Denny Hamlin (No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota), William Byron (No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet), and Kyle Larson (No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet). Briscoe enters as the top seed listed first by reset points.
Hamlin and Briscoe clinched their spots with wins in the semifinal round, while Byron secured his ticket with a clutch victory at Martinsville Speedway. Larson clinched the final spot based on points, narrowly beating out Christopher Bell.
The Championship Race at Phoenix Raceway will be broadcast live starting at 3:00 p.m. ET.
