The relationship between a boss and an employee is always a tricky one. Having said that, not everyone is blessed to have a cool leader. Luckily, Chase Briscoe is one of those lucky ones, having the legendary Tony Stewart as his boss. The two have quite a rapport as they enjoy playing pranks on each other. However, Briscoe’s latest attempt to do so seems to have backfired.
Without a doubt, Stewart is one of the highly respected players in the NASCAR Cup Series. While his achievements speak for themselves, the funny side of the Stewart-Haas Racing co-owner is equally entertaining. Recently, Briscoe tried to pay homage the 51-year-old at Talladega but it has failed miserably.

Stewart-Haas Racing enjoyed a good run at Martinsville as Chase Briscoe helped them with their second consecutive top-five finish this season. It only got better for the 28-year-old at Talladega on Sunday as he finished fourth in the race. However, rather than this performance, the talk was about his car’s paint scheme.
More often than not, Briscoe and Stewart appear together in all the Mahindra commercials. However, it is the three-time Cup Series champion who frequently enjoys pulling the #14 driver’s legs. In a bid to return Stewart the favor, Briscoe recently planned an unimaginable gimmick.
Since the NASCAR Hall of Famer was expected to be in the FOX broadcast booth, the Indiana-born driver had a devilish idea. Briscoe opted to have a paint scheme of Stewart in his “Smoke” avatar. He liked to call it the “You Old Goat” theme, which was in a way a tribute to the NASCAR legend’s contributions. The scheme sees his boss drinking a cup of coffee in front of several “fan mail” letters.
