Sebastian Press Release Self Image At Phoenix

February 21, 2023 (Winston-Salem, NC) Back behind the wheel for his third season in the ARCA Menards Series West (AMSW), is Sebastian Arias who has committed to two races this season, BradyIFS as his sponsor.  BradyIFS, one of the nation’s premier distributors of food service and janitorial products, has committed to supporting Sebastian in Sonoma this June and the final race in Phoenix this November.

Sebastian is excited to partner with Rev Racing and BradyIFS for these two races and hopes there are many more to come. Work is currently being done to secure two more race opportunities with the team in the ARCA Menards Series, as another sponsor is looking to support Sebastian as he rises in the sport. The 2022 ARCA Menards Championship winning team has proven they have what it takes to run up front consistently and that is where Sebastian wants to be.  Sebastian said, “This is the start of a great relationship with Rev Racing, and I want to thank Max Siegel for giving me this opportunity.  We are looking for more races in the main ARCA Menards Series this year and possibly in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.  I am blessed to be in this position, and I appreciate the work being done by Max, Rev Racing and my manager Ryan Johnston.”

Over the last 20 years, Siegel and Rev Racing have made tremendous strides to increase diversity in racing by offering opportunities to women and minorities, including over 125 drivers, over 100 pit crew members, and more than 20 interns and young professionals. 

“We are excited to offer Sebastian the opportunity and infrastructure to support his racing efforts in these ARCA Menards Series events,“ said Rev Racing owner Max Siegel. “We have proven success in the Series and welcome opportunities that align with our mission and goals as a championship-winning race team. As we have kicked off the start of the 2023 AMS season, we continue to be positioned for competitive excellence and look forward to successful outcomes with Sebastian. ”

This will be Sebastian’s second time at Sonoma Raceway where last year he started 13th and quickly made his way through the field up to 5th when he had nowhere to go as two cars intentionally got into each other, with one spinning in front of Sebastian, which ended his day.  Sebastian will be heading to Phoenix Raceway for the fourth time in his career and is excited to have a solid car and crew to compete up front.  Sebastian is thankful for BradyIFS in providing this opportunity for him and would also like to thank Rubbermaid Commercial Products, Betco, Wiley X, BeyondEnergy, SPARCO, Next Level Racing and Thrustmaster for their continued support.

Sebastian is a first-generation race car driver from Bogota, Colombia.  At twenty-four years old, he is the next Colombian driver coming up the ranks of NASCAR since Juan Pablo Montoya.

Owned by NASCAR, the ARCA Menards Series is a proving ground and rung in the ladder to reach the pinnacle of their sport, the NASCAR Cup Series.  Sebastian is working his way to the NASCAR Xfinity and Cup Series and knows his sponsors are more than a blessing in his journey.

I am grateful for the support from both Chevrolet and Gainbridge and look forward to bringing some great results in Daytona and throughout the remainder of the season.”

Sanchez, who won the ARCA Menards Series Driver Championship in 2022, is looking to capitalize on the momentum he has built as he advances into the National Series in his rookie season with Rev Racing and owner Max Siegel.

“We have never been more prepared for this next stage of advancement,” said Max Siegel, Rev Racing owner. “We know Rev Racing and Nick are positioned for competitive excellence. With the support of our partners, we anticipate a year of both growth and monumental success.”

February 9, 2023

Concord, NC — Rev Racing prepares for the ARCA Menards Series (AMS) season opener at Daytona International Speedway (DIS), fielding two entries who will compete on the 2.5-mile tri-oval in the Daytona 200. Rev Racing will field Lavar Scott, ARCA Menards Series East full-time driver and Jack Wood, part-time NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series (NCTS) driver at Kyle Busch Motorsports (KBM). The team capped off their 2022 season as the AMS Driver Champions with Nick Sanchez, driver of the No. 2 Gainbridge Chevrolet.  

Rev Racing collectively garnered 3 wins, 17 top 5’s and 30 top 10’s throughout the 2022 AMS season. Rev Racing looks to carry the momentum into 2023 as contenders of the 2023 AMS title. 

Jack WoodWood, who is a newcomer to Rev Racing, is looking forward to the added seat time to support his part-time NCTS commitments with KBM for 2023. Due to the technical alliance between Rev Racing and KBM, announced last year during championship weekend in Phoenix, the pairing seemed like a natural fit. Wood will run the No. 6 WB/Velocity Racing Chevrolet in Daytona. He is scheduled to run 7 races with the team throughout the AMS season, and potentially more. Wood will also be competing in the NextEra Energy 250 in conjunction with his AMS commitments.  

The California native made his NCTS debut at Circuit of the Americas in May of 2021. Wood has tallied 35 starts, including a full season (23 races) in 2022. He will continue to compete in multiple series in 2023 and anchor the No. 51 Chevrolet. He competed in one AMS racing event in 2022 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.  

“I’m super excited to return to the ARCA Menards Series this year running a part-time schedule with Rev Racing.” said Jack Wood. “Getting more seat time will be a great platform for me to continue to learn and grow my skill set. Some weekends I’ll be running both ARCA and Trucks and I’ll be able to apply what I learn in the ARCA race to the truck race. Rev is coming off of a really strong season and I’m looking forward to getting onto the track with them and showing what we got!” 

LavarLavar Scottt, who is slated to run a full-time AMS East car for Rev Racing is eager for this  experience as he enters his rookie season in 2023. Scott will be returning for his fourth season with Rev Racing as a part of the NASCAR Drive for Diversity Driver Development Program. In 2022, Scott earned multiple top 5s and 10s in the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series. 

“I am very excited for Daytona and blessed to have the opportunity with Rev Racing and NASCAR Drive for Diversity,” said Lavar Scott. “This series is very different from anything I have competed in, but I trust myself, as well as the team who is always ready for a good showing.” 

Andres Perez de Lara, who will compete full-time in the AMS with Rev Racing in 2023, will not meet the age requirements of the Series until the Phoenix race in March. 

Wood and Scott will return to AMS action beginning with a practice session on February 16th. General Tire Pole Qualifying will take place on the 17th with the Daytona 200 80-lapper on the 18th. The AMS season-opener will broadcast live on ​​FS1 and the Fox Sports App.

Rev Racing drivers honored at the annual NASCAR Drive for Diversity Awards Ceremony

WebFebruary 2, 2023

Concord, NC — In recognition of the individuals and organizations that have advanced diversity, equity and inclusion across the sport, NASCAR announced today the 2023 NASCAR Drive for Diversity Awards recipients during an awards ceremony at the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, California. 

Executives, partners, drivers, crew members and other industry leaders were on hand for the 15th annual event. NASCAR recognized 10 recipients whose commitment to DE&I have contributed to a more diverse and inclusive sport. Two of the honorees were Rev Racing’s defending ARCA Menards Series champion, Nick Sanchez; and Nathan Lyons, who recently earned a year-long opportunity to participate in the team’s youth development program in 2023. 

Sanchez received the Developmental Series Driver Award. This award goes to a developmental driver who is a member of an underrepresented population and exemplifies outstanding performance both on and off the race track in encouraging awareness of NASCAR’s diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.

Sanchez, who is going into his sixth season with Rev, will be competing full-time in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series for the 2023 season with the support of Gainbridge and Chevrolet. Nick captured the 2022 ARCA Menards Series Championship with wins at Kansas Speedway, Talladega Superspeedway and Michigan International Raceway running the No. 2 Gainbridge Chevrolet. 

“It’s an honor to receive the NASCAR Diversity Developmental Series Driver Award,” said Sanchez. “The NASCAR Drive for Diversity Program alongside Rev Racing has played a crucial role in my development as a driver so this award represents not only all the hard work I’ve put in but the work of all the individuals at Rev Racing as well as The NASCAR Diversity Program.” 

Lyons was the Youth Driver Award recipient. This award is presented to a young driver between the ages of 8 and 17 years who is a member of a minority population and has encouraged the awareness of DE&I efforts in motorsports all while competing. 

“I am so thankful to receive this award,’’ said Lyons. “I am excited for what there is to learn and achieve with Rev Racing and NASCAR Drive for Diversity. Rev has given me a great opportunity to improve as a driver and I’m looking forward to the upcoming season.”  

Lyons, age 13, will join the Rev Racing roster for the first time in 2023, piloting a U.S. Legends Car. After moving from Dallas, Texas, to Charlotte, North Carolina, Lyons began racing at the age of 12 in a Bandolero before joining the Rev Racing team.
