For the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series FireKeepers Casino 400 we can tell you Bobbitt and Greco are backing Chase Briscoe over Ty Gibbs (-110 DraftKings) in a head-to-head matchup. "Briscoe's pit crew has operated at a slightly higher level than Gibbs' group this season, ranking first in our efficiency metrics compared to third for Gibbs. That advantage is modest, but the comparable-track data isn't. Briscoe averages nearly twice as many fast laps (12.5 to 6.3), leads significantly more laps (31.1 to 1.7), spends 11% more laps inside the top-15, and completes six more quality passes per race."
