Chase Briscoe was grateful to bring a moment or two of happiness to wife Marissa in the worst week of their lives.
It was Tuesday, during a 12-week exam, that they learned that their expected child — they only learned Monday that it was a girl — had no fetal heartbeat.
“This has been the hardest week I've ever had to deal with and God is so good,” Briscoe said. “Even when I took the lead with 50 to go, I was crying inside the race car.”
Briscoe joined his wife's appointment on a video call from the infield at Darlington, awaiting the rain-delayed race's orginal start time.
