Rev Racing Fielding Two Entries in The Zinsser SmartCoat 150
July 5, 2023
Concord, NC- Rev Racing, with Andres Perez de Lara and Jack Wood, is headed to the renowned Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course to participate in the Zinsser SmartCoat 150. The next race in the ARCA Menards Series (AMS) is the first road course this year, promising to showcase the skills and determination that Perez and Wood plan to bring to the track.
Andres Perez de Lara is set to field the No.2 Max Siegel Inc. Chevrolet while Jack Wood will pilot the No. 6 WB/Velocity Racing Chevrolet. Both drivers have been diligently preparing on the simulator, tuning their racing machines, and seeking direction from mentors.
While Perez has yet to race a road course in 2023, this weekend promises to be busy for the young driver. Perez, coming off a 5th-place finish at Elko Speedway, will race Mid-Ohio for the first time in his career, before flying back to Mexico to race another road course in the NASCAR Mexico Series.
“I am excited about this weekend at Mid-Ohio. I am ready to showcase my skills on road courses and continue to aim for victory lane,” said Perez. “This weekend is busy for me, but I have been preparing with the simulator, staying healthy, and learning from the guys at Rev Racing. I am grateful for this opportunity, and I am determined to bring home the win that Rev deserves.”
Wood plans on using momentum from his 4th place finish at Sonoma Raceway in the AMS West and applying what he learned to the 13 turns at the Mid-Ohio course. Wood has raced at Mid-Ohio twice, once in the 2022 AMS series and once
in the 2022 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
“Road course racing is something I enjoy doing quite a bit and we had a solid run in Sonoma, so I think we’ll show good results in Mid-Ohio as well,” said Wood. “It’s going to be a double header weekend for me, so I’ll have plenty of track time. I think we have a good shot at it.”
The Zinsser SmartCoat 150 is scheduled for Friday, July 7th where Wood and Perez will race for 42 laps and 112.9 miles. Final practice is from 1:45 PM ET to 2:45 PM ET before timed qualifying shortly after from 3:00 PM ET to 3:20 PM ET. After driver intros, the green flag is set to wave around 6:00 PM ET. You can tune in on FS1, Sirius XM, the Fox Sports App, and Rev social media for live updates.
