Chase Briscoe will replace Martin Truex Jr. at Joe Gibbs Racing for the 2025 NASCAR season. The news was accidentally leaked by fellow driver Christopher Bell during a media event. Briscoe has spent his entire career with Stewart-Haas Racing. Briscoe's move comes as Stewart-Haas Racing will cease operations at the end of 2024. He will drive the No. 19 Toyota Camry XSE, with Bass Pro Shops as the primary sponsor. His crew chief, James Small, will remain with him. Briscoe found out about the leak in a humorous way, as he initially did not understand Bell's apology due to poor cell reception. Joe Gibbs Racing quickly confirmed the news and held a press conference to welcome Briscoe.
