"He hasn’t stopped talking about the big buck" - Chase Briscoe shares first hunting adventure with son Brooks, Noah Gragson reacts

Chase Briscoe taught his son Brooks how to hunt at a young age. The father-son duo went on a hunting trip this NASCAR off-season and Brooks couldn’t stop talking about the “big buck” he got, a moment Noah Gragson reacted to on social media.

Briscoe is a 29-year-old NASCAR Cup Series driver bound for Joe Gibbs Racing next year. The driver will take over the No. 19 Toyota Camry of Martin Truex Jr. who retired from full-time competition. For now, he is enjoying the off-season with his family including his newborn twins Cooper and Collins.

His recent trip was in the woods with his 3-year-old son Brooks. The Indiana native shared photos of the hunting trip on Instagram. He wrote:

“Brooks has been begging to go hunting with me so tonight was his first ever time and he was able to get him one. He hasn’t stopped talking about the ‘big buck’ he got.”

Former Stewart-Haas Racing teammate Noah Gragson commented on the post with two fire emojis.

With the discontinuation of the Stewart-Haas Racing team, Chase Briscoe and Noah Gragson had to find a seat for 2025. Briscoe landed a seat at Joe Gibbs Racing, while Gragson signed with Front Row Motorsports, though the car number wasn’t announced yet.

Briscoe ended the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season with one race win at Darlington Raceway, which put him in playoff contention. The driver made it to the Round of 12 before getting eliminated along with Alex Bowman, Austin Cindric, and Daniel Suarez.

Chase Briscoe reflected on his relationship with Stewart-Haas Racing

As the 2024 season concluded, Stewart-Haas Racing officially ended its operations in NASCAR. Chase Briscoe, who drove for SHR for seven years, conveyed his emotions by sharing a heartfelt message for the team during a post-race interview in the season finale at Phoenix Raceway.

Speaking with NASCAR reporter Alex Weaver, the 29-year-old driver said:

“Just getting to the Cup Series is fulfilling a dream, but literally as a little kid, I would dress up in Tony Stewart's uniform and helmet and play my racing video game […] The fact that of all the cars that I could ever drive in the Cup Series, the fact that I got to drive the No. 14 car and get in victory lane just meant the world to me. I didn't think it would mean that much to me.” [0:43]

Stewart-Haas Racing is rebranded as Haas Factory Team, with ex-co-owner Tony Stewart leaving NASCAR after almost three decades of competition. The new team reduced its Cup entries from four to one, which will be led by Cole Custer in the No. 41 Ford Mustang.

Meanwhile, Chase Briscoe will debut in the No. 19 Toyota Camry for Joe Gibbs Racing at the Daytona 500 in February 2025.
