Quick Facts
Biography
Chase Briscoe (born December 15, 1994) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He currently competes full-time in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, driving the No. 29 Ford F-150 for Brad Keselowski Racing. He won the 2016 ARCA Racing Series championship.
Racing career
Briscoe started racing in 2001 when he competed in quarter midgets, winning his heat race and feature. Five years later, he returned to racing, driving 410 sprint cars at the age of 13. That year, he recorded 17 top-ten finishes and a win at the final race of the season; he became the youngest driver to win a 410 sprint car race, beating NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon's record by one year despite racing with an engine from 1993.
In 2013, Briscoe applied for the Peak Stock Car Dream Challenge, a contest rewarding the winner with a ride at Michael Waltrip Racing. He finished second behind Patrick Staropoli in the challenge.
Later that year, Briscoe joined Bill McAnally Racing to compete in the K&N Pro Series West, making his debut at NAPA Speedway and finishing eighth. He ran two more races in the series that year, finishing 13th and 27th at Kern County Raceway Park and Phoenix International Raceway, respectively.
In 2015, Briscoe was contacted by friend and driver Christopher Bell regarding a contract with Roush Fenway Racing, which resulted in a test session with ARCA Racing Series team Cunningham Motorsports. After two tests at Mobile International Speedway and Fairgrounds Speedway, he made his ARCA debut at Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis, finishing tenth. He later ran at Salem Speedway, where he finished fifth. A year later, he began competing full-time in the series. That season, Briscoe recorded six wins, including four consecutive, as he won the 2016 championship by 535 points over runner-up Tom Hessert.
In 2017, Briscoe joined the newly formed Ford Performance NASCAR development program and the Camping World Truck Series team Brad Keselowski Racing, driving full-time.
Briscoe finished third at Daytona in his Truck debut after avoiding a tremendous wreck on the final lap after running top ten almost all day.

Briscoe's father Kevin and grandfather Richard are both involved in sprint car racing, Kevin being a five-time track champion at Tri-State Speedway and Bloomington Speedway, while Richard has worked as a car owner for drivers like Rich Vogler and Dave Blaney.
