NASCAR Results Today: Briscoe claims first playoff win to lock into Round of 12 with stunning domination

Chase Briscoe took an extraordinary victory at Darlington on Sunday night, locking himself into the playoff Round of 12 at the first possible opportunity.

Briscoe led more than 300 laps of the 367 at the Track Too Tough To Tame, having spent the final score of laps with Tyler Reddick and Erik Jones fighting him ferociously for the win.

The No. 43 of Legacy Motor Club nearly played spoiler in the final stage of the race, ending up third and fourth after showing fantastic speed in the closing stages.

Earlier on, a chaotic middle stage saw the playoff cars thrown into disarray, with pit issues and spins throughout the field, after the race started with a Josh Berry wreck on the first lap, setting the tone for an eventful evening at the Lady In Black as playoff drivers suffered various calamities.

Berry's damage in that first lap wreck was the start of it, putting him over 100 laps down, but Reddick was tagged in that incident too. Alex Bowman and Denny Hamlin were among the playoff drivers who had disastrous pitstops, before Christopher Bell's car was damaged in a pit road collision with Carson Hocevar.

William Byron (loose wheel), Bubba Wallace (slow stop), Ryan Blaney (jammed on pit road) and Austin Dillon (slow stop) all also suffered on pit road, while Chase Briscoe had radio chatter about an electrical issue, Shane van Gisbergen hit the wall hard and Blaney was later wrecked by Kyle Busch toward the end of the stage.

The race result puts defending champion Joey Logano below the cut line with two races to go in the Round of 16, with the playoffs moving on to Gateway next weekend.

With that said, let’s get into the full results below.
