Chase Briscoe’s NASCAR Cup Series career continues to grow, but he isn’t leaving behind the discipline that first made his name.
On Sunday, Briscoe announced that he has reached an agreement to acquire Brent Marks Racing, creating Chase Briscoe Racing as a full-time High Limit Racing team beginning next season. Brent Marks will remain behind the wheel while also serving as the organization’s general manager.
For Briscoe, the move represents more than a business decision. It’s a return to the sprint car world that shaped both his family’s legacy and his own path to NASCAR.
Although Briscoe now drives the No. 19 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing in the NASCAR Cup Series, he has never hidden his love for dirt racing.
“Sprint car racing has been in my blood since birth and was really my first love in motorsports,” Briscoe said. “It is part of my family’s history, and it is where I learned everything about racing and built the foundation for the driver I am today.”
The Briscoe family has been involved in sprint car racing for generations. Chase’s grandfather, Richard Briscoe, became a sprint car owner in 1976, while his father, Kevin Briscoe, enjoyed a successful driving career that included more than 150 feature victories.
Briscoe began racing sprint cars at age 13 before eventually climbing NASCAR’s developmental ladder.
“Having a full-time team competing in a national series is truly a dream come true for me,” Briscoe said. “Ever since I was a kid, my dream has been to become a NASCAR Cup Series driver and own a sprint car team, similar to my hero, Tony Stewart.”
The acquisition keeps one of High Limit Racing’s most successful organizations intact.
Marks will remain the team’s primary driver while overseeing day-to-day operations as general manager.
“This is a surreal moment in my career,” Marks said. “Building a race team took a ton of hard work and sacrifice, and I’m proud of the success we had. This is a new chapter in my life, and I am really excited for it.”
Briscoe said preserving what Marks has already built was a priority.
“Brent has built a program that wins and has earned respect throughout sprint car racing,” Briscoe said. “I want to support what already works and help the team continue improving. Our goal is to contend for wins and championships and operate a team that people are proud to support.”
The organization also plans to create opportunities for developing sprint car talent in the future.
“I remember having the determination to keep racing without knowing where the next opportunity would come from,” Briscoe said. “I want this organization to help create a path forward for the next generation of racers.”
Rather than stepping away from sprint cars after reaching NASCAR’s highest level, Briscoe is investing in the sport that launched his career while continuing to compete full-time in the Cup Series.
