Chase Briscoe Racing deal
Chase Briscoe Racing has reached an agreement to acquire Brent Marks Racing, a move that will create a full-time High Limit Racing team under the Chase Briscoe Racing name. The announcement came at Iowa Speedway, and the new organization will field 410 winged sprint cars with Brent Marks staying on as the primary driver. Marks also will serve as the team’s general manager. Magical Vacation Planners has signed on as the first new sponsor for the operation, giving the new team an immediate commercial anchor as it begins under the Briscoe banner.
The deal sends Briscoe back into sprint car ownership with a plan that reaches beyond a single car count or sponsor roll. He said the move brings him back to sprint car racing and ties into his family’s 50-year, three-generation history in the discipline. Briscoe also framed the acquisition as a chance to build a national team and open doors for developing racers. He said he wanted an ownership stake in sprint car racing because he sees room for the series to grow commercially, and he pointed to High Limit’s television exposure and charter model as key parts of his interest in team ownership.
Briscoe’s timing lined up with a broader shift in the series, one that helped bring the conversation with Marks to the table. He said he first reached out to Marks in the spring after Spire Motorsports bought a High Limit charter, and that sequence helped set the deal in motion. Briscoe also said he believes the series could become even more valuable by the 2031 contract cycle. Those comments show why this move goes beyond a simple purchase. Briscoe is buying into a structure he believes can grow in reach, value and stability, while also connecting the business to his own background in sprint car racing.
Brent Marks Racing move
For Marks, the sale closes one chapter and keeps him at the center of another. He said he initially thought Briscoe’s request to talk was a joke, a reaction that fits how quickly the idea moved from an informal conversation to a completed acquisition. Marks said he decided to sell in part to ease the burden of running the team after parting ways with business partner Allen Murray last year. That practical side of the decision matters. The new structure keeps Marks in the seat as the team’s driver while also placing him in a leadership role as general manager, a setup that preserves his racing identity and shifts some of the organizational weight into a new ownership arrangement.
Marks brings a strong record to the new team structure. He finished third in the 2025 High Limit Racing standings with five wins, a season that confirmed his place among the top names in the series. His resume also includes victories in the Kings Royal, the Historical Big One and the Williams Grove National Open, three marquee events that carry real weight in sprint car racing. That background gives the new Chase Briscoe Racing team both a driver with proven speed and a manager with a deep understanding of what it takes to compete at the top level. The move keeps Marks visible in both roles, and it gives the new organization immediate credibility with a driver who has already delivered on the biggest stages.
High Limit Racing future
The acquisition also pushes Chase Briscoe Racing into a broader role within High Limit Racing, where the organization will operate as a full-time team. That matters because Briscoe is not only entering the series as an owner, he is doing so with a stated plan to help it grow. His comments about commercial expansion, television exposure and the charter system point to a business model that depends on more than race-day results. They also show why the team’s launch is built around both competition and development. Briscoe said the new team gives him a chance to build a national operation and create opportunities for developing racers, which puts future growth at the center of the project.
The sponsor support gives that plan an early boost. Magical Vacation Planners stepping in as the first new backer gives the new team a public sign of momentum, and it helps establish the organization around a name, a driver and a commercial partner. For High Limit Racing, the move adds another full-time entry with a recognizable owner, a proven driver and a leadership structure designed to keep the operation steady. For Briscoe, it marks a return to a racing world tied closely to his family history. For Marks, it keeps him at the wheel and in the management chair. The deal blends those goals into one team, and it sets up Chase Briscoe Racing as a new player with a clear place in sprint car racing.
