“Chase was not only a wheelman in Legends and Late Models, but his Chase Pistone Inc. Legends team was a force to be reckoned with every time they showed up at a track, and they usually walked away with the winner’s trophy,” Legends Nation said about Chase’s racing career.

Chase also owned CP Inc. The company built Legends and Late Model stock cars and provided various repair and tuning services. Chase scored several championships through his role as the owner of CP Inc.

As a driver, Chase raced throughout the 2000s. After not having a ride for seven years, he returned for one final season in 2014 before stepping away from racing for good.

TMZ details how, more recently, Chase turned his attention to helping young racers through his Chase Pistone Inc. Legends program. He became a well-known teacher and coach in the industry.
