Chase Briscoe took a backup car from the back of the field after winning the Xfinity Series race on Sunday at Dover International Speedway.
The win is Briscoe’s sixth of the year, and breaks his bond with Austin Cindric for most wins this year.
“Awesome car,” Briscoe said on the radio to his team after the race. “Way to work.”

“We haven’t won a month and a half, but it feels like five years,” Briscoe told NBCSN. ‘We’re kind of back where I felt we were at the beginning of the year. Truly I find that today was the most dominant car we have had all year. “
Ross Chastain, who earned his first stage win and first playoff point of the season, placed second. Cindric finished third and was followed by Brandon Jones and Daniel Hemric.
Justin Allgaier, who won the race at Dover on Saturday, finished seventh
