BIOGRAPHY

AGE: 19

BIRTHDAY: December, 30, 2004

HOMETOWN:  Lapeer, MI

Chase started racing at 6 years old in .25 Midgets and quickly started winning races.  He won over 100 feature races, & 2 National Championships in .25 Midgets. In 2017 he moved to full size Monte Carlo in the street stock.  He won multiple heat races but did not get a feature win. In 2018, Chase continued his quest in the Street Stock, had multiple feature wins and finished 2nd in points at Merritt Speedway. He also started racing a UMP Modified. In 2019, he started racing a IMCA Modified and received Rookie of the Year. He also started racing his first pavement class, CRA Jegs Jr Late Models. At the end of 2019, Chase did what he set out to do. He won the Championship for the CRA Jegs Jr Late Model, plus he was IMCA Rookie of the Year, Eastern Region. In 2020, Chase has all new goals. He started another new series CRA Jegs All Star Series in his Vandoorn Late Model. His goal was Rookie of the Year. Due to COVID we were only able to race a handful of races and he completed the year with mutiple top 10 finishes and achieved his goal of Rookie of the Year along with finishing top 5 in points & receiving Sportsman of the Year! He also raced his IMCA Modified on the off weekends.

2022 Chase Raced his first ARCA Midwest Series Race & Finished 14. He also raced a Dirt IMCA Modified, Dirt Super Late Model, & Pro & Super Late Model on Asphalt. Chase claimed the 2022 CRA Triple Crown Championship Title.

2023 was Chase’s breakout year. He graduated from high school & won his first Pro Late Model feature at Birch Run Speedway. He collected additional wins; including the Masters of the Pro at Owosso Speedway and Winchester Speedway during their world stock car festival. The wins and consistency of this small family owned team showed this year as he also earned them the series championship in the JEGS/CRA All-star Tour, which was a huge accomplishment for this team and its talented driver.

2024 will be a very busy year for Chase Burda. He will be racing approx. 22 ashphalt races (between his Pro Late Model & Super Late Model), plus another 23 races on dirt. During this 2024 race year he will also be striving for the Kulwicki Driver Development Program Championship!
