These relationships often shape how teams communicate, divide tasks, and handle pressure, with strong emotional bonds or complementary strengths giving some pairs an advantage. In season 38, father-daughter duo Jack and Chelsie Baham stood out for their steady teamwork and methodical strategy. Despite facing tough challenges, they got through the race with a balanced approach that made them memorable contenders.

Jack and Chelsie’s journey on the season was defined by grit and a father–daughter bond that strengthened with every mile crossed. They began strong in the Netherlands, settling into the rhythm of the race with a confident mid-pack finish.

In Hungary and Croatia, they found the stride that pushed them ahead of several teams. Chelsie shone in creative challenges, while Jack handled the more physical roadblocks. By the time they reached Romania and Greece, their teamwork had sharpened into an easy, almost instinctive flow. Their impressive second-place finish in Greece highlighted just how far they had come, proving that even an ordinary duo could become a formidable racing team.
