STATESVILLE, N.C. — NASCAR Cup Series driver Chase Briscoe will pilot AM Racing’s No. 22 Ford F-150 in Saturday night’s Weather Guard Truck Race on Dirt at the famed Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway, the team revealed Monday.
Briscoe will return to the Truck Series for the first time since the 2021 season while also returning to competition on the dirt in an F-150 at the historic half-mile since finishing fifth in the inaugural Pinty’s Truck Race On Dirt in March of 2021.
“I’m really excited for this opportunity with AM Racing and Production Alliance Group,” said Briscoe, driver of the No. 14 Ford Mustang for Stewart-Haas Racing in the Cup Series.
“I always look forward to the Bristol dirt weekend and to be able to get on track twice as much and feel things out will be a lot of fun and, I hope, really beneficial. I know everyone at AM Racing has worked hard to get the truck ready and I think it’s anyone’s race when it comes to the dirt events.
“I got the chance to run Bristol a few years ago, and I’ve run the truck race at Knoxville (Iowa), so I’ve got a good idea of how the truck itself will act on dirt,” Briscoe continued. “It’ll really just come down to how the track surface changes and whether things can stay green for long enough to make a move.
“I love going back to the truck series so hopefully I’ll be able to pick up my second dirt win in a truck this weekend.”
Longtime Briscoe partner and Tustin, Calif.-based Production Alliance Group will serve as the primary sponosr for the seventh Truck Series race of the season.
In addition to PAG, Elliott’s Custom Trailers & Carts will serve as an associate sponsor on Briscoe’s No. 22 Production Alliance Group Ford F-150.
“AM Racing is thrilled to have Chase Briscoe behind the wheel of our No. 22 Production Alliance Group | Elliott’s Custom Trailers & Carts Ford F-150 at Bristol,” said AM Racing president Wade Moore. “We started putting the wheels in motion about having Chase drive for us at Bristol right around Daytona and once we knew he was interested, we have been steadily preparing for this race.
“Chase is a talented race car driver but his experience and feedback on dirt will be a huge asset to our organization as we chase our first career win in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. Without a doubt, we believe Chase will not only put our team in contention, but he will have an opportunity to also win his third career Truck Series race.”
