Tony Stewart’s team driver honored his legacy in the No. 14 for the final time at Indianapolis Motor Speedway

Chase Briscoe expressed his emotions on honoring Tony Stewart's legacy in #14 for Stewart-Haas Racing for the final time during the recently concluded Brickyard 400 at the famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Briscoe drove the #14 Ford, a car number associated with his current boss Stewart, and ended up finishing 24th last weekend.

Expressing his emotions ahead of the race, Briscoe said (via Cup Scene’s YouTube channel):

“It's going to be emotional for me, I mean full transparency. I cry every year just on the ride around deal so with it being on the oval and doing it in the 14 all that it's going to be definitely, probably emotional."

It will be the last season for Stewart-Haas Racing in NASCAR, as they are shutting down their operation at the end of the season.
