Sanchez Returning to Talladega Superspeedway

September 26, 2023

Concord, NC- Nick Sanchez and Rev Racing have secured their position within the round of 8 and have now shifted ambition to the cutoff line to secure a spot into the Championship 4. This pursuit is set to start at the iconic Talladega Superspeedway, a venue where Sanchez has previously demonstrated his talent.

Sanchez’s recent race at Bristol Motor Speedway was marked by resilience and determination, where he found himself starting from the 35th position due to being unable to qualify after needing to fix mechanical challenges. Undeterred by this setback, he clinched a 3rd place finish in Stage 2 and concluded the overall race in 9th place. This performance has reaffirmed his position in the standings, currently occupying the 7th spot, a mere 22 points adrift from 4th place. The young hopeful is now eager to earn enough points from Talladega and Homestead to keep the Rev Racing team in the running.

Nick Sanchez’s history at the Talladega track speaks volumes. In the 2021 ARCA Menards Series (AMS) season, he secured an impressive 3rd-place finish, followed by a victory in the 2022 AMS season. Sanchez stated, “Talladega is well known in the world of racing, and I am eager to return following the weekend break. I intend to leverage my past experiences along with the guidance of mentors to secure a victory this season at Talladega. With speed in the No. 2 Gainbridge Chevrolet, I think we have a pretty good shot at parking in victory lane.”

The Love’s RV Stop 250 will kick off with qualifying sessions at 9:30 AM ET on Saturday, September 30th. The race itself is set for 1:00 PM ET on the same day, ushering in 250 miles of intense competition. Racing fans can watch live on FS1, Sirius XM, and Rev Racing’s social media platforms.

Rev Racing and Andres Perez de Lara Ready for Atlas 200

September 28, 2023

Concord, NC- After securing a third-place finish at Bristol Motor Speedway, Andres Perez de Lara and the Rev Racing team are gearing up for their next race on a half-mile track. Salem Speedway will host the upcoming ARCA Menards Series event, scheduled for Saturday, September 30th. This race, the 19th out of 20 in the season, promises to test the limits of the drivers.

Despite the unfamiliarity of Salem Speedway, Perez remains confident, especially after his impressive P.3 finish at Bristol. Throughout his debut full season in the AMS, Perez has consistently finished within the top 10, with only five exceptions, including a race at Daytona where he couldn’t compete due to age restrictions. In addition to his success with the No. 2 Max Siegel Inc. Chevrolet, Perez has achieved multiple podium finishes in races back home in Mexico.

“While we currently hold the second position in the standings, it’s no secret that we haven’t secured a victory this season,” Perez commented. “We’ve come close and even secured a pole position, but victory lane has remained just out of reach. After my experience at Bristol and everything I’ve learned this year, I’m hopeful that I can bring home a win for the Rev Racing team before the season concludes.”

The No. 2 team is preparing for the 200-lap feature and is determined to achieve success. The ATLAS Roofing 200 is scheduled for this Saturday, September 30th. Practice is set to begin at 3:45 PM ET, followed by a 2-lap qualifying session at 5:15 PM ET. The race will kick off at 7:41 PM ET, covering a total of 111 miles. Fans can catch the action on FS2, Florracing.com, and Rev’s social media channels.

I’m hopeful that we can tap into some extra speed and bring Rev Racing to victory lane. While I’ll be taking on both the ARCA and Truck races, I won’t complain about 400 laps around Bristol.”

We’re ready for Bristol!”

As a rookie in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, Sanchez arrived at this moment following a meaningful performance in Kansas. There, he not only secured a spot for the Rev Racing team in the next round of playoffs but also demonstrated his determination by qualifying second and leading 43 laps, the race high. While finishing in the 8th position was an achievement, Sanchez and team are looking for more.

Sanchez’s familiarity with the Bristol track spans across multiple occasions and racing series. He has previously competed at Bristol in the ARCA Menards Series in both 2021 and 2022, achieving his best finish of P.4. Additionally, he showcased his talent in the 2022 NASCAR Xfinity Series and most recently in the NCTS on dirt earlier this year.

Along with the AMS event, this night is a doubleheader, sharing the spotlight with the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series (NCTS).

Scott, on the other hand, is making his return for his second stand-alone event of the season. He led an impressive 14 laps at Daytona International Speedway at the beginning of the season and has been a consistent force, securing five top-five finishes this season in AMS East, and is hungry for more success at Kansas.

Perez has been inching closer to that elusive victory all season, and the No.2 Chevrolet is evolving alongside him. “Before Milwaukee, I said the energy within the team was changing,” Perez declared. “I think we have proven that it has. The only thing left to do is win.” Sitting at P.2 in the point standings a win could solidify the team even more.

Scott, too, has had some impressive performances during the season. Armed with the confidence of leading laps in the first AMS competition of the season, he’s determined to secure the long-awaited win for the No.6 team. “The talent in the AMS is immeasurable, but with a teammate on the track and the strategy Rev is bringing I think we have what it takes to qualify and stay up front,” Scott stated.
