Former NASCAR driver Chase Pistone has died at age 42, his family confirmed on Monday, March 2. A cause of death has not yet been revealed.

In addition to NASCAR, Chase was also involved in legends car building and racing as well as late model stock car racing.
“Chase was not only a wheelman in Legends and Late Models, but his Chase Pistone Inc.
