JGR star Chase Briscoe signs an autograph on a fan’s forehead and drops a witty response

Chase Briscoe shared a photo that captured a bizarre and funny fan moment; he autographed a fan’s forehead. The image was posted on Briscoe’s Instagram story, where he also added a line that tied it to a well-known NASCAR movie reference.

The selfie was uploaded by Chase Briscoe himself on Instagram. In the photo, he’s smiling with a fan whose forehead now has Briscoe’s signature across it. What made the post even more noticeable was the caption he added.

“Never felt more like Ricky Bobby in my life.”

The caption referenced a famous scene from the movie Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. In the film, Ricky Bobby, played by Will Ferrell, signs a baby’s forehead during a meet and greet and tells the mother not to wash it off. He then signs his assistant Susan’s forehead too, mistaking her for a fan.

A few hours before posting the selfie, Chase Briscoe had shared another story announcing he’d be at Cowles Commons at 4 PM for a fan meet and greet.

This autograph moment is also tied to Briscoe’s growing popularity and confidence, especially this season with Joe Gibbs Racing.

Briscoe has also bagged 5 poles this year and led 226 laps overall.

Chase Briscoe on JGR’s qualifying speed post claiming pole at the Brickyard 400

Joe Gibbs Racing driver Chase Briscoe grabbed the pole for the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway this week. This pole position, earned with a lap time of 49.136 seconds at 183.165 mph, was his fifth of the 2025 season.

He narrowly beat 23XI Racing’s Bubba Wallace by just 0.013 seconds. Wallace clocked in at 183.117 mph. As a result, the two drivers started the Brickyard 400, from the first row.

Speaking during a media session in Indianapolis, Briscoe explained why he’s now able to consistently qualify at the front. According to NASCAR, he said:

“I feel like my entire career, qualifying has been a strong suit of mine. At SHR, I feel like a lot of the time we just overachieved, truthfully. Now being able to be at JGR and being in these extremely fast race cars allows me to contend for poles, instead of just contending for a top-10 starting spot or whatever it may be. It's definitely fun to be able to lead the field to the green.” [2:33 onwards]

Briscoe’s stint with Stewart-Haas Racing ended after the team shut down operations ahead of the 2025 season. Team co-owner Gene Haas kept one charter and launched a new team, Haas Factory Racing. Briscoe, however, moved to JGR and has been consistently delivering strong results since. This pole further confirms Briscoe’s form and the competitiveness of the JGR Camry.
