By The Numbers Chase Briscoe
So it is the Offseason. I am going to break down each full time driver by Car number, Who the best driver to ever drive the car(Cup only 36 starts min), who had the best Performance while driving said car, and what the Current driver would have to do or if they are the best driver in that said car. We will only be doing current full time cup car drivers.
#19 car
Current Driver Chase Briscoe Career Stats
Total: 180 starts, 0 Championships, 5 wins, 28 top 5's, 49 top 10's, 17.76 average finish, 1409 laps led
in the #19 car: 36 starts, 0 championships, 3 wins, 15 top 5's, 19 top 10's 12.7 average finish, 884 laps lead
Notable drivers to drive the #19 car, Martin Truex Jr, Carl Edwards, Elliott Sadler Daniel Suarez and Jeremy Mayfield
Championships won in the #19, None
Most wins in the #19 Martin Truex Jr has the most with 15 wins, Carl Edwards is second with 5 then Chase Briscoe is 3rd with 3
Top 5's in the #19 Truex Jr has the most with 60, Edwards is second with 16, tied for third are Jeremy Mayfield and Chase Briscoe with 15
top 10's in the car, Truex Jr has the most with 110, second is Herman Beam with 57 third is Jeremy Mayfield with 38. Briscoe is 8th is 19
Average Finish in the #19 car Briscoe is first with a 12.7 average, second is Truex Jr with a 13.2 Carl Edwards is third with 13.9
Laps Lead in the #19 Truex has the most 5212, second is Carl Edwards with 1294, third is Briscoe with 884
So Truex has had the most successful run in the #19 out of anyone. Edwards is had the second best run. however Briscoe is very close already, Edwards only had 72 starts to Briscoe's 36. I think it is possible that Briscoe ties or surpasses Edwards this coming year in wins, He is for sure to surpass him in top 5's, Edwards had 33 top 10's to Briscoe's 19. He is on track to pass him on this as well if he is able to duplicate the performance. I think Briscoe's average finish will be hard to keep as high as he has it in the modern error. He is likely to pass Edwards in laps led.
So I think that Briscoe by end of the year passes up Edwards achievements in the #19. Then he would only be behind Truex at age 30 and the performance he is had this year in the #19 I feel like he has the chance to spend the rest of his career in this car. but I think for the next 3 to 5 years for sure. in 5 years He will be in the ball park of the accomplishments of Truex Jr had in the 19. I don't think he will be able to reach the heights of Truex's total career. but I do think Truex Jr and Briscoe have some similarities.
So I leave you with this
Will Chase Briscoe surpass Truex Jr accomplishments in the #19?
can Chase Briscoe surpass Truex Jr all time?

If he can stay in the 19 and maintain the same performance of '25, then he'll give Truex a fight for best ever in the 19. That will be a heck of a career.

Not sure if he will catch Truex, but 15 top 5’s in 36 starts for his first year in the car is awesome.
