Chase Briscoe’s Return to Roots_ Stewart-Haas Racing’s Chase Briscoe is embarking on a journey to revive his family’s racing heritage, as he unveils a new motorsports endeavor. At 29 years old, Briscoe has ventured into the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season, piloting the No. 14 Ford Mustang for SHR. Despite encountering challenges, including two top-10 finishes and a single DNF from five races, the Indiana native currently occupies the 19th position in the drivers’ standings. Up next is the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas, slated to commence on Sunday, March 24, at 3:30 PM ET, where Briscoe aims to contend fiercely.
In anticipation of his sixth Cup Series weekend, Briscoe has revived his family’s Sprint Car Racing team, now rebranded as Chase Briscoe Racing. Sprint Car Racing holds deep roots within Briscoe’s family, tracing back to his grandfather, Richard Briscoe, who established the venture in 1976. Now, Briscoe is determined to carry forward this cherished legacy.
Reflecting on his decision, Briscoe shared his sentiment, stating via his official website, “Sprint car racing was really my first love. My grandpa, Richard Briscoe, started owning them in 1976 and had many legends in the sport drive his No. 5 car… I jumped in at the age of 13, so it’s really been there for me since the beginning.” Additionally, Briscoe expressed his excitement for Karter Sarff’s foray into wing sprint car racing, highlighting Sarff’s promising performance in their midget at the Chili Bowl.
