Sanchez looks to carry over career-best momentum from Toledo into Charlotte

May 28, 2021 

Concord, NC – ARCA Menards Series rookie Nick Sanchez, driver of the No. 2 Max Siegel Incorporated/Honda Generators Chevrolet, looks to make his first trip of the season to victory lane concluding the General Tire 150 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Sanchez, 19, is hot off tying a career-best finish of P3 at the Herr’s Potato Chips 200 at Toledo Speedway last week. Battling for position all day, Sanchez dropped back as far as 7th, but made some moves late in the race to finish third.

“We started off P4, but It was a really rough race for me,” said Nick Sanchez. “However, thanks to my crew, we had a really good showing at the end, and I ended up tying my career-best finish.” 

Sanchez is Rev Racing’s most seasoned driver, in his fourth year as a participant in the NASCAR Drive for Diversity Driver Development Program. This is his first year in the ARCA Menards Series, but he’s coming off a successful rookie season in the ARCA Menards Series East, where he finished 3rd in the point standings. Sanchez is currently 4th in the 2021 ARCA Menards Series point standings. In five races, Sanchez has 2 Top 5’s and 3 Top 10’s. 

This weekend, Sanchez and Rev Racing will travel less than one block down the road to Charlotte Motor Speedway to race in the General Tire 150. The race spans 100 laps, and will broadcast live on FS1 with a live stream available on Fox Sports Go beginning at 7 p.m. ET. A radio broadcast can also be heard on MRN or SiriusXM (XM channel 391, online channel 981).

Sirvent to race NASCAR PEAK Mexico Challenge Series full-time in 2021

May 20, 2021 at 7:00 PM

Concord, NC – NASCAR Drive for Diversity Development Driver Regina Sirvent officially announced today she will race full-time in the NASCAR PEAK Mexico Challenge Series during the 2021 season, driving the No. 01 Chevrolet Camaro for Team Race Planet.

Sirvent is also running a full-season with Rev Racing both in a Late Model and U.S. Legend Car. Sirvent will attempt the full 12-race NASCAR PEAK Mexico Challenge Series schedule, under the sponsorship support of the Water People, Flex Seguridad Privada, Manufacturas AGAPSA, MS Comercialización, Restaurant Cluny, and C Transportation.

Sirvent, 18, was born in Mexico City, Mexico. Sirvent started racing karts when she was 9 years old on a road course in Cuernavaca, Morelos. She also participated in the Florida Winter Tour in 2014 and 2016 as well as racing in a Junior Kart for the Rotax and Vortex championship. She was able to finish in the top 5 of the championship point standings in both that season and the 2017 season.  

In 2017, she moved to the FB y Bohn Mikel’s Trucks by NASCAR Peak Mexico Series where she garnered a top 10 finish in her first year. In 2018, she raced 1 race in F4 Mexico Series, finishing 5th, as well as earning 2 poles in the Mexico Truck series. In 2019, she finished 2nd in the 12 Houres of Puebla. 2020 served as a turning point for Sirvent, as she captured a 3rd overall finish in points, 2 wins, 5 podiums and 2 poles in the FB y Bohn Mikel’s Trucks by NASCAR Peak Mexico Series. 

In her first season with Rev Racing, she garnered a third-place finish at the Charlotte Summer Shootout with three top fives and five top 10s. Sirvent earned a second-year opportunity to run a INEX Legend Car as well as a full-time ride in Rev Racing’s Late Model program. 

“I’m very excited to be racing the Challenge Series because it is one step up from the Trucks series that I raced in last year,” says Sirvent. “Racing in the Challenge Series will absolutely help me in every area of my racing career.”

Sirvent will kick off her season at Súper Óvalo Chiapas in Tuxtla Gutiérrez on May 22-23. The race will span 130 laps. Her Rev Racing teammate Lavar Scott is also running at Súper Óvalo Chiapas, but in the FB y Bohn Mikel’s Trucks.

Scott to make NASCAR Mikel’s Truck Series debut at Súper Óvalo Chiapas in Mexico

May 18, 2021 at 3:00 PM

Concord, NC – NASCAR Drive for Diversity Youth Development Driver Lavar Scott, 17, will make his first start in the FB Bohn Mikel’s Trucks Series, driving the No. 34 Scott’s Auto and Towing Ford for Dynamic Motorsports at Súper Óvalo Chiapas on May 22-23 in Tuxtla Gutierrez, Mexico.

The deal to race in the series was spurred by his own Rev Racing teammate Regina Sirvent, who, alongside being in the NASCAR Drive for Diversity Program herself, regularly races in the NASCAR Peak Mexico Series and NASCAR Trucks Mexico. Sirvent is the only female driver in both series.

Participating in the 2019 NASCAR Drive for Diversity Youth Driver Development Combine, evaluators saw potential in Scott’s abilities and tested with him throughout the 2019 season. Scott also was invited to the 2019 NASCAR Drive for Diversity Driver Stock Car Combine in October, and was offered a seat in a U.S. Legend car with Rev Racing in their youth development program during the 2020 season. The team continued to test his abilities in the late model throughout 2020, which ultimately earned him an opportunity to run his rookie season in the weekly touring series. 

“It’s going to be an interesting experience,” says Scott. “I’ve never driven in this series before, nor have I driven a car like this before. I haven’t even been out of the country before, so this entire experience will be one I’ll remember for a long time.” But Scott says even though he’s excited for the experience—and the prospect of racing in more races in the series—his main focus is on Rev Racing.

Sunday’s race is the first race of the year for the series. Created in 2017, the FB BOHN Mikel’s Trucks Mexico Series is entering just its fifth season. Practice for the race starts on Saturday, with the race being the next day. Super Óvalo Chiapas is 1.2 kilometers of length, and the race will span 90 laps.
