Briscoe finished 15th in his series debut at Atlanta.
“Watching him in the Truck Series (last year), it’s easy to see his talent,” said Greg Zipadelli, vice president of competition, SHR. “He’s done a great job for his amount of experience. He has a good head on his shoulders and is a racer at heart. That’s the kind of people we surround ourselves with at Stewart-Haas Racing.”
Can’t put into words what it means to me to have @FordPerformance do this. Growing up racing sprint cars and being from Indiana there is no one I idolized more than Tony Stewart. To be able to say I have the opportunity to race for @StewartHaasRcng is a dream come true. pic.twitter.com/t22OV1sg1I
