A driver’s courage, determination, and commitment to their sport are truly evident when they choose to race despite a painful injury. History has shown us many examples of racers who have pushed through physical discomfort to compete at the highest level.
One such instance involved Tony Stewart‘s driver, who showcased immense bravery after sustaining a serious injury during a dirt late model race the night before a Cup Series race in Bristol.
Undeterred by the injury, the Stewart-Haas Racing driver persevered through the weekend. Albeit, wearing a brace on his hand. The latest news reveals that he will undergo surgery for his broken finger, but not until after the upcoming Martinsville race.
The fearless driver was none other than Chase Briscoe. He recently took to social media to inform the NASCAR community about his injury and share updates on his condition.

Briscoe mentioned that he would be getting a few rods and screws placed into his finger to help with the damage. However, this surgery only comes into play after this weekend’s race. Till then, we can understand the agonizing pain he would be going through.
Josh Williams did not miss an opportunity to tease Tony Stewart’s driver

Josh Williams, NASCAR’s recent bad boy, caught sight of Briscoe’s tweet and couldn’t resist the opportunity to inject some humor into the situation. He quickly posted a GIF in response to Briscoe’s X-ray image shared on Twitter.

The GIF was undeniably amusing, featuring a man hurriedly applying duct tape to a leaking jar filled with water. Of course, it was all in jest. Williams wasn’t the only one attempting to lift Briscoe’s spirits with a touch of humor; several others from the NASCAR community chimed in with amusing memes and lighthearted comments. After all, laughter can often be the best medicine.
We extend our best wishes to Briscoe for a swift recovery from his injury. Injuries are an inherent aspect of motorsports, and for someone as tenacious as Briscoe, this setback will probably be short-lived. His unwavering determination and commitment to the sport serve as a testament to the resilience and dedication found among NASCAR drivers.
