A Must Win Weekend for Nick Sanchez
October 30, 2024
Concord, NC- Rev Racing and Nick Sanchez are set to return to Martinsville Speedway for the second time this season in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series (NCTS). The Zip Buy Now, Pay Later 200 is scheduled for this Friday, November 1st.
As the weekend approaches, Sanchez is currently 8th in the NCTS standings, trailing the leader by 70 points and just 43 points shy of the cutoff line. Last week at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Sanchez was running in 2nd place when unfortunately, the No.2 Gainbridge Chevrolet ran out of gas on the last-lap, resulting in a 13th place finish. With the stakes high at Martinsville, Sanchez knows he must secure a win to guarantee his spot in the Championship 4 at Phoenix Raceway.
Last season at Martinsville, Sanchez finished 11th. However, earlier this year during the first visit to the track in the NCTS, he qualified 5th and achieved a 4th place finish. “The pressure is definitely on as we head into this weekend,” Sanchez stated. “It’s a must-win situation, and that’s the plan.”
The race, consisting of 200 laps over 105 miles, will kick off this Friday at 6:00 PM ET. Practice is set for 1:30 PM ET, followed by qualifying at 2:05 PM ET. This event will coincide with the NASCAR Xfinity Series and will be broadcast live on FS1, MRN, and Rev Racing’s social media channels.
