UPDATE: Chase Briscoe underwent successful surgery on his broken left middle finger early Monday morning, his wife announced via Twitter.
Briscoe suffered the injury while racing a dirt late model on April 6, contacting the wall in qualifying, which ripped the wheel out of his hand and broke the finger.
The driver of the No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford went in for surgery at 5 a.m. ET on Monday and was out by 7:45 a.m.
Chase is out of surgery and all is well, thank you everyone for the prayers. Keep them coming!

ORIGINAL POST 4-9-2023: Chase Briscoe isn’t sure when he’ll have surgery this week for his broken finger, but he’s clear on one thing.
“They said I don’t have to be put under (for the procedure), but I definitely don’t want to be awake for that,” he said.
Briscoe, who will start 14th in tonight’s Cup race on the dirt at Bristol Motor Speedway, broke the middle finger on his left hand while driving a dirt late model car Thursday at an event that included Kyle Larson and Kyle Busch.
