Holding off a furious late-race charge from current points leader Kyle Larson and dicing through dense lapped traffic, Briscoe cashed in a jackpot performance at Las Vegas Motor Speedway to win the South Point 400. The victory wasn’t just a validation of Joe Gibbs Racing’s 1.5-mile program — it kept Briscoe’s championship hopes alive heading into the final stretch of the season.
