Briscoe Aims for Darlington Three-Peat
2 Sep
Summary
- Chase Briscoe seeks third consecutive Southern 500 victory.
- Briscoe dominated last year's race, leading 309 of 367 laps.
- He'd be the first to win three straight since Jeff Gordon.
Chase Briscoe is targeting a historic achievement this Sunday night at Darlington Raceway, aiming for his third consecutive victory in the Cook Out Southern 500. Last year, Briscoe dominated "The Track Too Tough to Tame," leading for 309 of 367 laps en route to his second straight win.
This victory is the Chase opener, offering Briscoe a prime chance to elevate his standing. He enters seeded fifth, 45 points behind the leader. His previous wins at Darlington include a crucial victory in the 2024 Southern 500, which secured his playoff spot.
Winning three consecutive Southern 500s would be a monumental feat, with Briscoe aiming to be the first since Jeff Gordon's four-peat from 1995-1998. He may face strong competition, potentially from Tyler Reddick, who has also won at Darlington earlier in 2026.
