From Hardships to Hilarity: How Chase Briscoe Keeps NASCAR Fans Laughing Through Thick and Thin

As Stewart-Haas Racing bid farewell to its 16-year legacy in the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series, a cloud of uncertainty loomed over the team. Yet, amidst the struggle, one driver stood out—not just for his performance on the track but for his ability to keep spirits high off it. Chase Briscoe, the soon-to-be Joe Gibbs Racing star, showcased his trademark humor with a New Year’s Eve dad joke that left fans in stitches.


A Career Forged in Adversity

Briscoe’s road to the NASCAR spotlight wasn’t paved with privilege. Growing up in Mitchell, Indiana, Briscoe began his racing journey in sprint cars, famously becoming the youngest person to win a 410 sprint car race at age 14, even defeating legends like Jeff Gordon. Yet, without the financial backing many of his peers enjoyed, Briscoe had to fight for every opportunity.

In 2014, he moved to North Carolina, sleeping on couches and hustling to make a name for himself. By 2020, Briscoe’s career hit another roadblock when he found himself sponsorless, with SHR giving him a week to secure funding. A chance encounter involving his father and HighPoint.com’s CEO turned the tide, proving that Briscoe’s journey has been as much about resilience as talent.


Ending 2024 with a Laugh

Fast forward to the close of 2024, Briscoe wrapped up his final season with SHR, earning one win, three top-fives, and nine top-tens. But his off-track antics may have been his greatest contribution to fans. On New Year’s Eve, he tweeted, “Taking a break from social media… I’ll see you guys next year.”

A classic dad joke? Absolutely. But it was just the lighthearted touch NASCAR fans needed.

Fans responded with their own jokes and reactions:

  • “NOOOOOOOOOOOO I’M GONNA MISS MY DOSE OF CHASE BRISCOE POSTS!!!! 😭😭😭🤣🤣”
  • “Nah, you actually need to take a break after that one 💀”
  • “Be sure to raise your left leg at midnight, so you can go into the new year on the right foot…”

Why Briscoe’s Humor Matters

In a sport filled with intense rivalries and relentless pressure, Briscoe’s humor is a breath of fresh air. It’s a testament to his character, shaped by years of hardship, that he can remain so grounded and relatable. His goofy personality, evident both online and in person, is one reason fans continue to rally behind him—even during challenging seasons.

As he moves to Joe Gibbs Racing in 2025, Briscoe carries more than just his racing talent to a top-tier team. He brings a personality that resonates with fans, a resilience that inspires, and a humor that keeps the NASCAR community smiling.
