Chase Briscoe Gets Stuck in a New Dilemma After His Newborn’s Hilarious Reaction to Sitting Down

Fatherhood. They say nothing really prepares you for it, and they’re not wrong. One minute, you’re conquering the high-octane chaos of a NASCAR race, and the next, you’re at home pacing the living room with a crying baby who’s decided that stillness is public enemy number one. Just ask Chase Briscoe.

The man who’s made a career out of precision and control on the track now finds himself in a far more unpredictable world: parenting three kids, including newborn twins, Cooper Ivy and Collins Ivy. And let’s just say, his youngest has already shown a knack for keeping things interesting.

Walking laps at home while raising an artist

Briscoe’s Instagram story over the weekend captured the moment perfectly. In the clip, he’s visibly exasperated, baby in tow, and pacing like a driver circling for a green flag. “Every time I sit down?! We’ve been walking for an hour now,” he captioned it, as the baby Cooper’s cries kicked up the moment he tried to take a seat. It was parenting gold — relatable, exhausting, and oddly hilarious all at once.

Life’s been moving at breakneck speed for Chase and his wife, Marissa, ever since their twin boy and girl arrived in October 2024. And if the twins weren’t enough to keep the Briscoe household buzzing, their four-year-old son Brooks is more than happy to add his own brand of chaos to the mix.

Take the “paint incident,” for example. One day, Brooks took it upon himself to turn their dog Callie into an accidental canvas. When confronted, the youngster didn’t miss a beat, concocting an elaborate tale about how Callie had somehow grabbed a paintbrush and done the deed herself. Briscoe, ever the curious dad, pressed him on the matter. “How did Callie get paint on her face?” he asked in disbelief. Brooks, stone-faced, replied, “Just because I didn’t do that.” When Briscoe dug further, asking if Callie had painted her own face, the boy doubled down. “Uh-huh,” came the matter-of-fact response.

The story was so ludicrous, it was brilliant. Fans couldn’t get enough of it, with one commenting, “What a talented dog! And a talented storyteller.” For Briscoe, who’s used to the high-pressure world of racing, these moments of domestic chaos are a stark but welcome contrast. Whether he’s walking endless laps with his newborn or unearthing Brooks’ latest shenanigans, it’s all part of the job. And by the looks of it, his hands are very, very full.

A new chapter at JGR

As if juggling three kids wasn’t challenging enough, Chase Briscoe’s professional life is about to hit a new level of intensity. After a tough few years with Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR), he’s making a high-stakes switch to Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) for the 2025 season. Replacing Martin Truex Jr. in the #19 car, Briscoe’s new role comes with enormous expectations. And he knows it.

“I love the pressure side, but I do think this is probably the most pressure I’ve ever been under in my life, as far as professionally,” Briscoe admitted late last year. “If you don’t perform, there’s no excuses. Like, you have to perform at JGR.”

The move to JGR follows SHR’s decision to exit NASCAR, leaving Briscoe and his teammates searching for new opportunities. For the 30-year-old Indiana native, the transition to JGR is a golden opportunity—and a significant test. He’ll join a powerhouse team alongside Denny Hamlin, Ty Gibbs, and his longtime friend Christopher Bell.

Veteran NASCAR journalist Bob Pockrass weighed in on the situation, noting that Briscoe’s position is as enviable as it is demanding. “You look at Chase Briscoe, he certainly has the best shot right at Joe Gibbs Racing,” Pockrass said. “But he may have the most pressure on him as well. You would think that he’s stepping into the best situation.”

It’s not just a fresh start; it’s a chance for Briscoe to cement his place among NASCAR’s elite. The team’s resources, history, and culture of winning provide the ideal environment for success. But with that comes a “no excuses” mentality—a far cry from the underdog role Briscoe’s often embraced.

The move is made even more interesting by his relationship with Bell. The two drivers have been friends since their iRacing days, but now they’ll be competing under the same roof. For Briscoe, Bell’s presence is both a motivator and a benchmark. The dynamic promises to be one of the most intriguing storylines of the 2025 season.
