Chase Briscoe will be sponsored by spring water brand Free Bird in multiple 2026 NASCAR Cup Series races, Joe Gibbs Racing announced Jan. 14.
Briscoe’s No. 19 will carry its colors beginning at Darlington Raceway in March.
It’ll then return at EchoPark Speedway in July and at the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL.
“The partnership between JGR and Free Bird is an exciting one,” Briscoe said in a team release. “From the beginning, Free Bird was a natural fit for me. They are an all-American brand that has a lot of the same values that I do, so I am looking forward to having them on the car for three races this year.
“Darlington, Atlanta, and Charlotte are all tracks where the brand fits perfectly and I think race fans attending will enjoy seeing their cool branding around the track.”
Briscoe earned career highs in wins (three), top fives (15) and top 10s (19) in 2025, finishing third in points.
