Sad News: Chase Pistone, a fixture in motorsports and especially Legend Car racing, has passed away, Legends Nation confirmed with his brothers, Nick and Tom. 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.
“I’m broken hearted and don’t know if I’ll ever get over this,” Nick posted online. “I miss you Chase already and I hope you are you are in a better place.”
Nick also told LN, “I was his biggest fan and I loved him so much.”
