He competes full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series, driving the No. 14 Ford Mustang for Stewart-Haas Racing and part-time in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, driving the No. 22 Ford F-150 for AM Racing.

Racing career Early career Briscoe's father, Kevin, initially did not allow Briscoe to race. He later relented, letting Chase race as a way of spending family time. 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. Despite winning the majority of on-track races, he finished second behind Patrick Staropoli in the challenge. Then-Michael Waltrip Racing executive Ty Norris told Briscoe after the fact that even though he did not win the challenge, Briscoe should still pursue a racing career. Later in the year, he made his NASCAR K&N Pro Series West debut at NAPA Speedway where he finished eighth. He ran two more races in the series that season, finishing 13th and 27th at Kern County Raceway Park and Phoenix International Raceway, respectively. Briscoe moved from Indiana to Charlotte, North Carolina in 2014 in hopes of making connections in the racing world.
