Brian Finney (born September 27, 1977) is an American professional stock car racing driver and crew chief who has previously competed in the ARCA Menards Series. He currently serves as a crew chief for Scofield Motorsports in the No. 07 Chevrolet.[1]

Racing career

Prior to his career in ARCA, Finney previously competed in series like the FASCAR Sunbelt Super Late Model Series, the Florida Pro Series, and the Bright House Challenge Series.[2]

In 2012, Finney made his ARCA Racing Series debut at Lucas Oil Raceway, driving his self owned No. 3 Chevrolet, where he started 22nd and finished one lap down in twelfth.[3] He then made one more start at Salem Speedway, where he finished in 29th due to handling issues. In the following year, Finney ran four races, this time in the No. 80, getting a best finish of tenth at Mobile International Speedway. In 2014, he ran in five races, getting a best finish of thirteenth at Salem, and in 2015, he ran four races, getting two top-tens with a best finish of seventh at Toledo Speedway.[4]

In 2016, Finney ran three races in collaboration with Kimmel Racing in the No. 69. In his first start of the year at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway, Finney finished a career best third despite starting 22nd.[5] He then finished in the top-twenty in his next two starts at Toledo and Indianapolis. In 2017, Finney ran at Nashville, this time in the No. 80, where he finished in eleventh. He was originally entered at Toledo, this time in a Ford, but suffered a fire during practice, and was forced to extinguish the flames on his own car due to safety workers not putting out the fire, which caused controversy, as well as his team not being allowed to go on the track to extinguish the flames.[6] Because of this, the series made several adjustments to the safety protocols ahead of the race. Finney and his team, along with their second entry for the weekend in No. 04 of Scott Reeves, would withdraw from the event and would not attempt another race for the remainder of the year.[7]

After a year long hiatus from the series, Finney returned at Salem in the No. 80 Chevrolet, where he finished in seventeenth due to suffering a vibration a quarter of the way through the event.[8] In 2020, he made his ARCA Menards Series East debut at New Smyrna Speedway, where he started nineteenth and finished fourteenth. He also ran at Indianapolis in the main ARCA series, driving the No. 69 Chevrolet where he finished ten laps down in eleventh.
