Chase Briscoe Files Entry For BC39

SPEEDWAY, Ind. – Chase Briscoe, who currently ranks sixth in NASCAR Xfinity Series standings, has filed an entry for the Driven2SaveLives BC39 powered by NOS Energy Drink on Sept. 4-5 at The Dirt Track at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

With the addition of Briscoe and other new entries, the entry list for the second running of event has grown to 69.

Briscoe, who’ll pilot his own No. 5B in the event, has extensive experience in midget and sprint car racing, including an appearance at the BC39 in the inaugural event a year ago.

Of late, the Mitchell, Ind. native has made a name for himself in NASCAR. The 2016 ARCA Menards Series champion was a recent NASCAR Xfinity Series winner at Iowa Speedway in July, and was also victorious with the series last year at Charlotte Motor Speedway’s ROVAL.

He made his debut on 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway during the series’ stop in 2018, charging from his 22nd starting position to finish ninth in the Lilly Diabetes 250.  Briscoe also owns a pair of victories in the NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series, winning the finale at Homestead in 2017, then winning the Eldora Dirt Derby in 2018.

Among the newest entries joining Briscoe is 1989 USAC National Midget champion Russ Gamester, a winner in all three of USAC’s National divisions throughout his career, with 12 National Midget wins, six Silver Crown victories and one National Sprint Car triumph.

Making his BC39 debut is Cannon McIntosh, who burst onto the USAC scene in a big way in March when he scored his first USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget victory indoors at the Southern Illinois Center in DuQuoin, Ill.  In six starts this season, the Bixby, Okla., driver has finished in the top-five on three occasions, including a runner-up finish at Gas City I-69 Speedway during Indiana Midget Week.

Travis Berryhill, a 2017 Chili Bowl prelim night feature winner, is teamed with Ray Seach and David Budres for a three-car Manic Racing effort.  Budres finished 20th in last year’s BC39 feature event.  Meanwhile, series regular Ethan Mitchell has signed on for his second BC39 appearance.
