Chase Briscoe has had a year to remember—and not just on the racetrack. After a rollercoaster 2024 season filled with victories, farewells, and fresh starts, the NASCAR star is taking a well-earned break to soak up some family time this holiday season. For drivers like Briscoe, who live life in the fast lane both literally and figuratively, Thanksgiving is a rare moment to slow down and appreciate what matters most.

This year, Briscoe gave fans a front-row seat to his holiday chaos with a candid Instagram post that celebrated family, food, and the beautiful messiness of parenthood.

A Turkey day filled with love and laughter

On Thanksgiving morning, Briscoe shared a snapshot of his family’s festivities. The photo showed him surrounded by his wife Marissa and their three kids: their energetic eldest son, Brook, and the new additions to the Briscoe crew, a pair of adorable boy-girl twins. Brook was born in 2021 while their twins Cooper Banks and Collins Ivy, were welcomed in October 2024.

His caption perfectly captured the humor and heart of the day: “Deep fried turkey and blown-out diapers is what our Thanksgiving looked like here… Thankful for my family, friends, all of you, and the incredible opportunities I’ve gotten and are in the future.”

For fans who’ve followed Briscoe’s journey, the post was a sweet update on the growing family they’ve come to know and love. The Briscoes have been open about their journey into parenthood, and their honesty has made them all the more relatable to fans. Now, with three little ones under their roof, it’s clear their home is as lively as ever.

But even with diapers to change and turkey to fry, Chase Briscoe made sure to pause and reflect on his blessings—something fans appreciated seeing from a driver whose life is usually all about speed and competition. In addition to a new chapter in his parenthood with twins, Briscoe will look forward to a fresh chapter in his racing career in 2025 as he joins one of NASCAR’s premier teams.

New beginnings in 2025 for Chase Briscoe

While Thanksgiving was all about family, Chase Briscoe is also gearing up for a major career milestone. After four years with Tony Stewart’s Stewart-Haas Racing, the 2024 season marked the end of an era as SHR closed its doors. Briscoe went out with a bang, breaking a long winless streak with a clutch victory at the Southern 500 and making the playoffs.

Now, he’s stepping into one of the most coveted seats in NASCAR: the No. 19 Toyota Camry at Joe Gibbs Racing. The move, which came together quickly after SHR’s closure was announced, puts Briscoe in a top-tier ride for 2025 and beyond. “This is the opportunity of a lifetime,” he said.

Briscoe’s arrival at JGR has fans buzzing about what’s next. He’ll be replacing Martin Truex Jr., one of the sport’s most respected drivers, and joining an elite roster that includes Christopher Bell and Denny Hamlin. With JGR’s winning reputation and Toyota’s backing, expectations are sky-high for Briscoe to deliver.

For Briscoe, the move is about more than just career advancement. Despite the challenges of navigating SHR’s closure, Briscoe’s proactive approach landed him a dream opportunity. And through it all, he’s kept his priorities in check, making sure his family remains his anchor.
