Chase Briscoe joins touring Sprint Car ownership ranks

Brent Marks Racing has transformed into Chase Briscoe Racing within the High Limit Sprint Car Series. The two-time NASCAR Cup Series race winner, who is actively competing for Joe Gibbs Racing, has ventured into team ownership for the non-wing Sprint Car discipline. Meanwhile, Marks endured challenges balancing family team management and his racing career, which includes a 2022 Kings Royal and Historical Big One victory at Eldora, as well as triumphs in the Port Royal Tuscarora 50 and Williams Grove National Open.

However, when Marks parted ways with business owner Allen Murray last year, it became a struggle for him to grow the business and secure victories simultaneously. Enter Briscoe, a six-time Cup Series race winner who reached out to Marks via phone during the spring. Briscoe expressed his interest in the discipline he grew up with and saw the potential for growth within the High Limit Series due to its TV deal on FS1, Amazon Prime, and the Flo package, along with the franchise aspect.

Marks, who was initially skeptical, ultimately sold his team to Briscoe, recognizing it as an opportune moment to step back and let Briscoe take the helm. Briscoe sees this move as a way to capitalize on the High Limit Series' growth, particularly with the FS1 broadcasting numbers, which now attract nearly 300,000 viewers. He is enthusiastic about the franchise's potential value growth in the future.
