NEWTON, Iowa — NASCAR Cup Series driver Chase Briscoe announced Saturday morning at Iowa Speedway that he has acquired Brent Marks Racing and will field 410 winged sprint cars, with Marks as the driver and general manager, in the High Limit Racing Series.
“We’re excited to announced that we’ve bought out Brent Marks Racing, and it will become Chase Briscoe Racing in the High Limit Series,” Briscoe said. “We’re excited to have a full-time car on a national tour. It’s something for me that’s been a childhood dream.”
With Marks, Briscoe gets a fully operational elite team and a championship-caliber driver. Marks’ résumé already includes victories in the high-paying Kings Royal, the Historical Big One and Williams Grove National Open.
Marks is a two-time winner this season.
Christopher Bell, another of Briscoe’s JGR teammates and himself an elite dirt racer, voiced his approval.
“I’m happy for him,” Bell said. “I think it’s really cool. I think it’s great for dirt-track racing. Brent’s a great driver. I think (Briscoe) did really good getting an organization that is already acclimated to each other. They should have success right out of the gate.”
