By David Morgan, NASCAR Editor Despite starting all the way back in 13th for the final restart, Chase Briscoe got all he could out of his No. 29 Ford over the closing laps at Gateway, bringing home a runner-up finish in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series for the second week in a row. “Just unfortunate circumstances,” Briscoe said. “We were really fast.
