“I’m extremely excited to finally get the ARCA East season going with Rev Racing,” said Scott. “We had a great first run in Daytona finishing 4th, and I know that momentum with the team is going to carry over to the short tracks. The team has been working around the clock on preparing the cars for the East schedule. So, honestly, it all starts here.”

Nascar Craftsman Truck Series

March 23, 2023


Concord, NC
After securing a 2nd place finish at Atlanta Motor Speedway in the Fr8 208, Nick Sanchez and team are headed to their first road course of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series (NCTS) season. The green flag will wave on Saturday, March 25th at the Circuit of the America’s (COTA) in Austin, Texas. The Xpel 225 is scheduled for 42 laps, each mile measuring a distance of 3.41 miles long. This race will require an immeasurable amount of talent, stamina, and skill.   

Sanchez, Danny Stockman, and the entire Rev Racing team are more hungry than ever for a win, after finishing less than an 8th of a second behind the winner at Atlanta Motor Speedway. The race was full of challenges for the No. 2 team, but they fought their way back with the leaders multiple times through the end of the scheduled race length and an intense overtime restart. 

At one point in Fr8 208, Sanchez experienced contact by the No. 9 being hit hard in the rear. After an unsuccessful restart on lap 87, the No. 11 sent Sanchez into the grass. Sanchez said, “I lost power.” The team learned later that the battery was knocked loose from the contact earlier in the race. Repairs were made quickly and the team persevered.

Sanchez was able to quickly climb back to the top where on the final lap, before the green-white-checkered, he took the lead. Ultimately, Sanchez finished in second place. Sanchez has been up front in all three races this season, starting on the pole in the season opener at Daytona and next to Kyle Bush on the front row in Las Vegas before, finally, securing an acceptable finish.

“We’re doing what we came here to do,” said Stockman, Crew Chief for Nick Sanchez and the No.2 Gainbridge Chevrolet. Stockman went on to say “Our first two races were tough, but I think we’ve shown we have what it takes to stay in the top and finishing in Atlanta proves it.” Stockman mentioned the team was preparing for the first road course of the season planning to “garner our strengths and head to the winner’s circle.”  

“I’m just proud of my team for fighting hard and overcoming a lot of obstacles in the race,” said Sanchez. “Yes, it was a good result but my team and I don’t celebrate seconds and we have an expectation and desire to win. That expectation bleeds over to COTA and we’re going to keep the momentum going.” Sanchez mentioned that this will be his first time at COTA racing and he knows that the team is going to put their best foot forward and contend. He concluded with thanks to the team and partners, “I just want to say I am thankful for Rev Racing and our partners at Gainbridge, Chevrolet, and our technical alliance partners (KBM) for their continued support.” 

Practice is set for 4:30 PM EST on Friday March 24th and just 30 minutes later, qualifying will take place in preparation of the Xpel 225. Neither practice nor qualifying will be televised for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, however the 143.2-mile race will air on FS1, MRN, and SXM90. The green flag is scheduled to wave at 1:30PM March 25th when Sanchez is set to make his debut at COTA.

We still have plenty to learn about one another and building a good rapport takes time.” He concluded with his excitement “I’m really looking forward to getting started.” 

Justin Campbell
Team: No. 6 Max Siegel Inc. Chevrolet with Director Late Model Programming, Crew Chief John Carroll 

Just coming off of a promising couple of runs at Hickory Motor Speedway (3.4), Campbell is motivated to apply what he learned and aim for good finishing results.

This will mark Justin’s third time competing at Florence Motor Speedway, but first time driving in the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series in a Late Model. Campbell raced at Florence twice in 2022 in the US Legends Car Series, where he was able to secure a top 5 and a 2nd place finish. 

“After a clean run at Hickory, I’m looking forward to Florence this weekend,” said Justin Campbell. “It’s one of my favorite tracks, mainly because of how technical the track is. There are going to be new challenges to face with tire management. I have confidence going into this race due to my prior experience and I’m excited for this weekend. Rev Racing has done a great job with the car and helping with my development. I am certain this weekend is going to have a great turnout and good results.”

Lyons, just turning 14 on March 14th, is Rev Racing’s youngest program participant. Lyons began racing a Bandolero Car at age 12. He competed at the Winter Heat in 2022 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, where in his first race he finished 9th and 8th in his second race.

In 2022, he raced at the Winter Nationals in Florida where he garnered his first career win. Also, in 2022, he participated in the Nashville Spring Series, which is a 6-race event, Lyons placed 4th in one race and finished in the top 10 in the remaining races.

When asked, Nathan only had one thing to say and that was, “I’m Confident.” 

Eloy is no newcomer to racing, although this will be the first he will compete in the US Legend Car. The 17-year-old, from Oaxaca, MX, was also the 2022 NASCAR Truck Series México champion. 

Eloy started his career in karting in 2010, where he became the Super Karts Cup (SKC) Grill Champion 50 multiple years in a row. In 2012, he began his journey into F1. By 2013, Eloy became the first Mexican driver to have a pass to the Rotax Grand World Championship. He became the Micromax Category Champion in 2014.

Rev Racing and Sanchez looking for finishing results in Atlanta

Nascar Craftsman Truck Series

March 13, 2023

Concord, NC — After the unfortunate ending to the Victoria’s Voice 200, at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Sanchez and team are focused on a result that matches their capabilities. The second race of the season ended early due to the damage on the No. 2 Gainbridge Chevrolet that proved to be irreparable. After moving from 2 laps down back into the top 15, a late race tangle ended all hopes of a top 10 finish. Despite the results, the team is extremely hopeful in regards to future outcomes. In just two starts, Sanchez has started on the pole in the season-opener at Daytona and next to Kyle Busch on the front row in Las Vegas. He has also led multiple laps in Daytona and early on in the Vegas race before the night came to an early close.

Crew Chief Danny Stockman and Sanchez garnered everything they could from the last two races and remain focused on results to come at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Sanchez is set to take to the track on March 18th, where the race is scheduled to begin at 2:00 PM EST. He will be behind the wheel of the No.2 Gainbridge Chevrolet for the third time in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series (NCTS). 

“Atlanta is going to be different,” said Sanchez. “It’s a mix of a 1.5 mile track and a Super Speedway, therefore, I will be learning to balance both of those styles of racing. I have never raced at Atlanta, but I am excited to see the grip level change and the track wear from last year’s spring race.” Sanchez went on to mention the team, “Danny Stockman and the entire No. 2 team have been putting in the work and continue to keep pushing to find more speed, which I think will show in this 5 week stretch of racing beginning in Atlanta.” 

Sanchez reflected on Las Vegas: “As for Vegas, it was a race of trial and error and I built up a pretty good notebook from the experience. I’m excited to take what I learned and apply it to the rest of the races.” 

Since this marks Sanchez’s first visit to Atlanta Motor Speedway, the team is hopeful to get a good qualifying result in place despite no practice session on the NCTS schedule. Qualifying will begin at 3:05 PM EST. The green flag will wave at 2:00PM EST on Saturday (18th) for the start of the Fr8 208. Drivers will race 135 laps around Atlanta Motor Speedway. A distance of 208 miles around the 1.54 mile track. The race will be broadcasted on FS1, MRN, and SiriusXM.

Menards 200 For The Arca Menards Series

Concord, NC-  Rev Racing is ready for the second race of the ARCA Menards Series (AMS) and season opener for ARCA Menards Series West at Phoenix Raceway for the General Tire 150  where they will field two drivers, Andres Perez de Lara behind the No. 2 and Jack Wood behind the No. 6. Perez and Wood will take to the 1 mile long track on March 10th, 2023, for 150 laps. This will be the fourth time AMS takes to Phoenix Raceway since 2020, and the 50th time AMS West returns to this host track. The team is looking to capitalize on their momentum from the 2022 season after securing the AMS championship with driver Nick Sanchez, driving 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. Last week in the Daytona 200, Rev driver Lavar Scott finished 4th while Jack Wood was able to secure an 8th place finish, up 28 spots from his start at the beginning of the race. 

This is the start of the season for Perez who, unfortunately, did not meet age requirements in Daytona. While this is Perez’s debut race with Rev Racing, he is no newcomer to the AMS. Perez has formerly raced at Bristol Motor Speedway in 2022, securing a top 10, and competed twice in the AMS West garnering two top 10s. Perez was also a Series Champion of the 2020 NASCAR Mikel’s Truck Series and the 2022 season champion of the NASCAR Mexico Challenge Series making him the youngest winner in the Series. 

“I’m extremely excited to finally start this year’s season at Phoenix.” Said Perez de Lara. “The whole team has been working hard together and I believe we are ready for Phoenix where we should see good results from start to finish.” Perez seems calm and confident about the upcoming weekend. 

The No. 6 WB/Velocity Racing Chevrolet will be piloted by Jack Wood as he comes off of a top 10 finish in Daytona. This will be Wood’s second race, out of seven, with Rev Racing for the season and his second time at Phoenix Raceway in the AMS. “I’m looking forward to heading to Phoenix,” said Wood. “It’s probably the track where I have the most experience and I think it’s a good way to break up the gaps in the Truck Series for me.” Wood went on to mention ‘home’ stating “I look forward to being back at a track that’s somewhat close to home and I’m ready to put together a good weekend.” 

The General Tire 150 will serve as the season opener for the ARCA Menards Series West, offering points for both AMS West and AMS. Raising the stakes even higher, the winner of the 150 mile race will be credited for a win in both series. Perez and Wood are set to take the track for a final practice at 5:00 pm EST before qualifying starts an hour later. Perez and Wood will start their engines just before 8:00 pm EST.

“We have been in the process of updating the entire Late Model program over this past winter from top to bottom,” said John Carroll. “It’s been a long process but we feel very prepared. Of course, there will be new challenges because we have several new drivers due to our more senior drivers moving on, however this is how the program is designed.” 

Both drivers practiced on Wednesday, at Hickory, in preparation of the upcoming weekend events.  “We were very pleased at the end of our practice day. We believe with this field full of champions, a pair of top 10s would be a successful day, but ultimately, always going for the win,”  said Carroll.

Rev Racing and Nick Sanchez ready for Las Vegas Motor Speedway

Rev Racing and Nick Sanchez ready for Las Vegas Motor Speedway

Nascar Craftsman Truck Series Nextera Energy 250 Qualifying

March 1, 2023

Concord, NCAfter weather put a damper on Rev Racing’s debut in Daytona, Nick Sanchez and the team are ready to get back to action at Las Vegas Motor Speedway for the Victoria’s Voice Foundation 200. Sanchez is set to take the track Friday, March 3rd at 9:00pm EST where he will pilot the No. 2 Gainbridge Chevrolet for the second time in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series (NCTS).  

Sanchez’s rookie start in the NCTS quickly became one for the history books when he was able to secure the Pole with a 49.478 lap, becoming only the 6th driver ever to secure the pole in their debut. 

Sanchez not only secured the pole but finished in the 5th and 4th position in the first two stages, respectively, until a late race pit for minor adjustments and the final caution due to weather ultimately ended the team’s night. Sanchez finished 26th. 

“Daytona went pretty smooth,” said Nick Sanchez. “Results didn’t show it for reasons out of our control but most importantly my team and I had a plan and stuck to it. Obviously, I’m still learning how they operate, so I’m constantly conforming to that but for our first race together it went extremely well. In my head, my season starts in Vegas. There’s been a lot of preparation from my team and I and we have high expectations for Friday’s race.” 

This will be Sanchez’s second time at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where he competed last year in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in October. During that race, Sanchez started 20th and finished 12th. Sanchez is ready to continue his momentum from Daytona and his experience at the track last year. 

“Our results in Daytona certainly didn’t demonstrate where we were capable of finishing,” said Danny Stockman, Crew Chief of the No. 2. “Despite Nick’s rookie status in the series, we are increasingly impressed with Nick’s commitment and passion for honing his craft. We are looking forward to Vegas and feel very confident that we will yield good results.” 

Sanchez will take to the track Friday on the 1.5 mile track where the race will last 124 laps and over 200 miles. Qualifying will take place at 2:05 PM, local. The race will broadcast live on FS1, the Fox Sports App, and receive coverage on MRN and SiriusXM.
