Briscoe clinches ARCA championship at Kansas

KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- A year ago, Chase Briscoe was showing up at racetracks looking for a ride.

Now he's the ARCA champion.

The 22-year-old newcomer from Mitchell, Indiana, wrapped up the series title Friday night when he took to the track for the series finale, a race he went on to win. Briscoe only needed to start to give owners Briggs Cunningham and Kerry Sherer the championship that has long eluded them.

"Last year I was just going to the stops, going to the races. Really didn't know what I was doing -- probably still don't," Briscoe said.
