AVONDALE, Ariz. — Chase Briscoe jumped out of his car and was obviously emotional, kneeling by his No. 14 for a few seconds before a couple voice cracks during his postrace television interview.

The 27-year-old Briscoe took his lumps last season as a NASCAR Cup Series rookie. Now, he’s a winner.

“It’s unbelievable — I was crying the whole last lap,” Briscoe said.

Briscoe raced to his first Cup Series victory, executing two great restarts over the final 20 laps to pull away from Ross Chastain and Tyler Reddick on Sunday at Phoenix Raceway.
