Pressure levels are peaking in the NASCAR Cup Series right now. The upcoming race, the Coke Zero Sugar 400, presents the last chance for 20 drivers to win their way into the 2025 playoffs. Chase Briscoe is not among them, as the No. 19 Toyota driver won in Pocono besides clinching 12 top tens and 10 top fives. After leaving Stewart-Haas Racing, Briscoe has adapted to the high demands of Joe Gibbs Racing. But even while relaxing, Briscoe cannot deny his responsibility towards his teammate.

In his third full-time Cup Series season, Ty Gibbs is in the doldrums.
