When Chase Briscoe signed with Joe Gibbs Racing, he openly acknowledged that the organization operated with far greater precision and structure compared to Stewart-Haas Racing. The team\u2019s exhaustive approach to gathering data, analyzing past performance, and refining every detail initially left him overwhelmed. Now, judging by his results, Briscoe has adapted seamlessly, elevating both his preparation and execution.<\/p>\n
Appearing recently on Rubbin\u2019 Is Racing, Briscoe outlined his race preparation strategies, explaining that his routine combines simulator sessions, studying archival race footage, and extensive data analysis. As he put it, \u201cIt\u2019s all of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Briscoe elaborated, \u201cI\u2019ll normally get like a big page of stuff. Like for this week example, I had a whole thing lined out of this is where the best car was in each corner, this is what they did, this is compared to you last year. So, I\u2019ll go back, I\u2019ll watch that video. I\u2019ll look through the data, and then there would be like a summary of everything to do the perfect lap, the perfect line.\u201d<\/p>\n
Briscoe explained that this process shows exactly where he stood a year ago, showing what worked, what didn\u2019t, and what adjustments need to be made. He then takes those lessons to the simulator, applying every insight while his team provides real-time feedback on areas where he can still fine-tune his performance.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a ton of stuff, but it\u2019s all together. You\u2019re watching the video, and you\u2019re looking at the data, and then you go to the simulator, and try to apply it. Like this week alone, I\u2019ve done 10 hours in the simulator. So, I mean, it\u2019s just there\u2019s a lot that goes on behind the scenes, that even I didn\u2019t realize happened until I got to NASCAR,\u201d Briscoe said<\/a>.<\/p>\n He also recalled how, in his earlier days, he would watch old races on YouTube with the help of small thumbnails, joking that he once believed drivers spent the week lounging by the lake before showing up to race on Sundays. The reality, as he quickly discovered, is far from that.<\/p>\n
