Chase Briscoe has showcased one of his car collections on social media. The car in question is a classic and "dirty" Ford pickup truck, which he fired up for an Instagram post before heading out for a grocery run.
Briscoe is a 29-year-old NASCAR Cup Series driver from Mitchell, Indiana. He was a professional Ford driver himself, but Stewart-Haas Racing shut its operations this year. This prompted the driver to move to Joe Gibbs Racing next year, where he will drive a Toyota.
Per Chase Briscoe's Instagram, the driver shared a short story of his Ford truck on his way to the grocery.
"She's dirty but perfect day for a grocery store run," Briscoe wrote.

While Chase Briscoe didn't disclose anything about the truck, the model should be a second-generation F-100, a spiritual forefather of the current F-150 used in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
The Ford truck comes with front and rear chrome bumpers complemented by five-spoke chrome wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich tires. Briscoe also installed pickup bed height extenders made of wood.
Based on the short IG story, the vehicle should be powered by a V8, the same engine layout as NASCAR cars.
For the 2025 season, Briscoe will drive the No. 19 Toyota Camry for Joe Gibbs Racing. He will replace Martin Truex Jr., who retired from full-time competition, and team up with Denny Hamlin, Christopher Bell, and Ty Gibbs.
The Indiana native will debut with the Toyota-based team in the Daytona 500 in February next year.
"We're kind of doing that on our own now": When Chase Briscoe opened up about Ford's support amid SHR's NASCAR exit
Chase Briscoe once shared the situation between Ford and Stewart-Haas Racing ahead of this year's playoffs. Briscoe said the support from the Blue Oval brand was changing amid the departure of SHR from the stock car racing league.
Speaking with veteran NASCAR reporter Bob Pockrass, the then-No. 14 Ford pilot shared:
“There's been some things that have happened for sure. We're still able to win races. It might be a little tougher to do. We're trying to piece together some things that before would probably have been a little bit easier to piece together. We're kind of doing that on our own now.”
While Ford's support was dying down, Briscoe still trusted his team as they prepared for the first race of the playoffs at Atlanta Motor Speedway. He added:
“We still obviously feel like we can go out and win races and have the tools we need to do that. It's just a little bit harder sometimes to do that compared to some of the other teams. I think we've proved that we still have enough resources and things to get it done.”
During the 2024 NASCAR postseason, Chase Briscoe managed to advance to the Round of 12. However, he was eliminated after the Charlotte Roval playoff race for failing enough points to make the next round.
Briscoe ended the season with one win, three top-5s, and nine top-10s.
