Chase Briscoe has a series-leading six pole positions in 2025, but the Joe Gibbs Racing driver has yet to convert any of those poles into a race win. At Iowa Speedway, he came fairly close, finishing second to William Byron and Hendrick Motorsports.

It’s the second consecutive pole position for Briscoe, after a special hometown pole last weekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and a series-leading sixth of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series campaign. Before joining JGR this season, the 30-year-old driver had only recorded two poles.

After Stewart-Haas Racing's sudden shutdown, Chase Briscoe landed a race with Joe Gibbs' outfit and replaced now-retired Martin Truex Jr. in the No. 19 machine. This became a major turning point for Briscoe, and he is now under the wing of one of the top NASCAR organizations.
