  "account": "Chase Briscoe is aiming for a third consecutive Southern 500 victory at Darlington Raceway, which would set a new record for the track. The NASCAR driver has a history of success at Darlington, having won the race twice in his two-year tenure at the venue. Briscoe, who first drove the circuit seven years ago, describes it as \"awesome\" after just five laps during his first practice session. His affinity for the track has only grown since then, as he has now won the Southern 500 twice in a row. If Briscoe can replicate this feat, it would be a strong start to his latest attempt at a NASCAR Cup championship. Currently, he is tied with co-favorite Tyler Reddick for the plus-600 odds to win the Southern 500.",
