In a fuel mileage nail-biter for the final 30 laps of the NASCAR Cup Series race at Pocono Raceway, Chase Briscoe held off Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Denny Hamlin to score his first win of the 2025 season — locking into the postseason.
It’s the third career victory for the No. 19 Toyota driver and Indiana native and first for JGR in his first season with the team.

Hamlin finished second after leading 32 laps and taking the Stage 1 checkered flag — the sixth time in nine Pocono races the No. 11 driver has finished first or second at the 2.5-mile “Tricky Triangle.”
Ryan Blaney, Chris Buescher and Chase Elliott rounded out the top five. John Hunter Nemechek, Kyle Larson, Ryan Preece, Brad Keselowski and Austin Cindric completed the top 10.
The Cup Series heads to EchoPark Speedway (formerly Atlanta Motor Speedway) for a Saturday night affair and the start of the In-Season Challenge (7 p.m. ET, TNT Sports/truTV, HBO Max, PRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
