Former NASCAR driver Chase Pistone has died at the age of 42.
His older brother, Nick Pistone, posted a message on social media, announcing his death, which did not include a cause or where he died.
But Chase’s brothers, Tom and Nick, requested that Legends Nation “post the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, which is 988 on a phone or text.”

“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 posted on social media.
During his career, Pistone, who is the grandson of two-time NASCAR Cup Series race winner Tom Pistone, competed in the ARCA Menards Series, NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, and NASCAR Xfinity (now NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts) Series.
“Well, my young brother and best friend is gone,” Nick Pastone said on social media. “I’m broken-hearted and don’t know if I’ll ever get over this. I miss you Chase already and I hope you are you are in a better place. I love you and I miss you so much already!!!!!!!”
