Chase David Wayne Briscoe (born December 15, 1994) is an American professional stock car racing driver and team owner. He competes full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series, driving the No. 14 Ford Mustang Dark Horse for Stewart–Haas Racing. He also owns a World of Outlaws sprint car racing team, Chase Briscoe Racing. He won the 2016 ARCA Racing Series championship.

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.

On May 28, 2024, Stewart–Haas Racing announced it would shut down its NASCAR operations at the end of the season.

On June 25, 2024, it was officially announced that Briscoe would replace Martin Truex Jr. for Joe Gibbs Racing in the No. 19 Toyota in 2025.
