How do you prove you’re better than your namesake? Well, certainly the only way to achieve this is with the help of a humorous take. The Joe Gibbs No.19 Toyota Camry driver was seen engaging in a lighthearted banter with a fan on Reddit. Briscoe sided with a fan as he took a dig at Chase Elliot, the ultimate torchbearer for Hendrick Motorsports.

As drivers embrace the offseason, their increased engagement on social media has not only brought them closer to fans but also sparked playful exchanges that keep the competitive spirit alive off the track. Here’s what Briscoe had to say to a fan to alleviate him from confusion!

Chase Briscoe says he “loved” the fan’s little one’s idea

Interactions with NASCAR drivers on social media always make a fan’s day, and one recent exchange on Reddit proves why. A fan, gearing up to adopt a dog found at Richmond Raceway, took to the platform to crowdsource name ideas. Seeking help, the fan shared, “Alright so I’m getting a foster dog on Sunday who was found on Richmond Raceway but she doesn’t have a name. I’m thinking Dale, but do y’all have any suggestions?”

This innocent question opened the floodgates for some lighthearted banter, including a comment from Joe Gibbs Racing’s No. 19 Toyota Camry driver himself. Briscoe jumped into the thread, suggesting the fan name the dog after him, replying with a straightforward but clever suggestion: “Briscoe.”

But the fun didn’t stop there. Another fan shared a photo of their dog’s naming certificate, which humorously declared the dog’s full name as “Chase Briscoe.” The fan explained the story behind the name, saying, “This is what my son wanted to name our Border Collie 👀 And he wanted to make sure our dog was not mistaken for naming him after Chase Elliott.” The playful dig at Hendrick Motorsports’ golden boy Chase Elliott didn’t go unnoticed, as the naming certificate clarified the intentional distinction between the two Chases.

Briscoe, known for his approachable demeanor, couldn’t resist reacting to the post. He chimed back with a simple yet charming, “Loved it.” His response highlighted not just his sense of humor but his ability to connect with fans in a way that many drivers shy away from.

While Chase Elliott, the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series champion, remains a fan favorite on track, his reserved media presence often makes him the subject of such playful jabs. In contrast, Briscoe has cultivated an image as the affable underdog, always ready for some good-natured fun. This Reddit exchange showcased why Briscoe continues to win over fans—one quirky dog name at a time.

On the other hand, a different Chase, Chase Elliott, explored the musical side of things.

The year is coming to an end and it seems as though just like us, even our favorite drivers are jumping on the bandwagon and posting about the same. Given how popular it has become to post about Spotify-wrapped screenshots, Denny Hamlin also took to the trend. However, there was something that stood out for every fan. 

Instead of proper song names, his playlist included “Boo” by Everyone, “Zero Championships” by Hendrick Motorsports fans, and “I love your podcast,” which was heard 2,311 times. That’s not all! The Zero Championship edit has also got a Spongebob Squarepants meme which sports a Chase Elliott hat. Isn’t that hilarious? Elliott was seen jumping to the same and he shared the post with the caption, “Hats for sale btw”, linking the same to his official website. 

Hamlin’s cheeky playlist and Elliott’s witty response turned a simple Spotify-wrapped post into a viral moment of banter that fans couldn’t get enough of. With Elliott seizing the opportunity to promote his merch, it’s clear the NASCAR humor game is as sharp as their on-track rivalry.
