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.
