Rev Racing to field full-time Truck Entry in 2023

Concord, NC — Rev Racing announced today they will be expanding into the National Series in 2023, fielding a full-time ride in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series with its technical alliance partner, Kyle Busch Motorsports (KBM). Nick Sanchez, recent 2022 ARCA Menards Series Champion, will pilot the No. 2 Gainbridge Chevrolet for Rev Racing and owners Max and Jennifer Siegel. 

Over the last 20 years, Siegel has 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. 

This expansion into the National Series offers yet another platform and pipeline for young drivers to advance to the highest levels of the sport.

Rev Racing has had a collective 26 wins, 119 top 5s, and 232 top 10 finishes in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series/ARCA Menards Series, with drivers finishing in the top 10 in points in every season. Rev Racing holds two Championship titles in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East/ARCA Menards Series, with Kyle Larson in 2012 and most recently with Nick Sanchez in 2022. 

“This is a pivotal moment for our organization,” said Rev Racing owner Max Siegel. “With our unwavering focus on a commitment to diversify the sport while putting a model in place to train and prepare drivers for the next level of competition, and because of our strategic partnership with Gainbridge announced earlier this year, we have never been more prepared for this next stage of advancement. Working with our technical partners at KBM and Chevrolet, we know Rev Racing and Nick are positioned for competitive excellence.”

With Rev Racing capturing the 2022 AMS Drivers Championship and KBM standing as one of the most-winningest teams in the Truck Series, the partnership was an optimal choice for continued success as collaborators. Both teams are exploring opportunities to expand competitive alliances with Rev Racing’s ARCA program as well.  

“Unofficially we’ve been a part of helping former Rev Racing drivers take the next step in their NASCAR careers in the Truck Series, with Bubba Wallace and Daniel Suárez both getting victories in a KBM truck, so we’re looking forward to aligning with Max, Jennifer and everyone at Rev Racing to now officially be a part of the pipeline for young drivers in their diversity program to continue to advance into the National Series of NASCAR,” said Kyle Busch. “Nick is an impressive young driver, winning the ARCA title this year and has had some solid runs in the Xfinity Series as well, so we’re looking forward to having him be the trendsetter of what we’re confident will be a successful program for many years to come.”

Sanchez has spent five years competing with Rev Racing as a participant of the NASCAR Drive for Diversity Driver Development Program. He has earned an impressive 31 top 10s, 18 top 5s and 4 wins in his collective AMS career. He ended his rookie 2021 AMS season with a win at Kansas Speedway and 3rd in point standings and finished the 2022 AMS season with victories at Kansas, Talladega and Michigan and the Championship title. Sanchez has seen success in every level of competition he has participated in, which made him the optimal choice for the dedicated seat. 

“I’m very excited to continue driving for Max and Rev Racing in the Truck Series in 2023,” said Nick Sanchez.” To be able to join forces with our technical partner, KBM, is a great opportunity for me to learn how to win on a regular basis. Continuing my relationship with Chevrolet and Gainbridge is something that I value greatly and this is seemingly another step in our long-term plan/goal.”

Gainbridge became a partner of Rev Racing this season, and is fully committed to the Rev Racing/Diversity Program and supporting the next-generation drivers, like Nick Sanchez, to drive more diversity into the field of motorsports. Both groups saw immediate alignment in their shared mission and focused-initiatives within the sport and beyond.

“We’re proud to support Nick Sanchez and watch him compete in the more advanced racing series. His tremendous progress is a prime example of how Rev Racing’s Drive for Diversity Program has elevated talented race car drivers,’’ said Dan Towriss, CEO and President of Group 1001, the parent company of Gainbridge. “We are committed to providing ongoing support for the next generation of drivers and driving more diversity into the field of motorsports.’’

The Rev Racing No. 2 Gainbridge Chevrolet will make its National Series debut in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series with Nick Sanchez at Daytona International Speedway on February 17, 2023.

Sanchez wins the ARCA Menards Series Drivers Championship in Toledo

Concord, NC —After a season-long battle, Chevrolet driver Nick Sanchez makes his mark in motorsports by winning the 2022 ARCA Menards Series (AMS) Championship. Sanchez came into Toledo only 2 points up on rival Daniel Dye. He started the race 8th and came home in 6th to clinch his first career championship. 

The Championship did not come easy for the No. 2 Gainbridge Chevrolet team, as they were unable to practice due to having to change out the motor before qualifying. The team rallied and with moments to spare were able to qualify and start in 8th position. “I remained calm,” said Nick Sanchez. “We just focused on getting the car in working order so we could go out and run whatever race we needed to win. I am proud of the guys and thankful for all their hard work. I am just happy I could bring this one home for the team and Max and Jennifer and our partners at Gainbridge and Chevrolet.”

Looking back on the 2022 season, Sanchez muscled his way over the course of the season to stay consistent and ultimately capture the title. He earned 3 wins, 10 top 5s 16 top 10s. 

After an unfortunate start to the season in Daytona, Sanchez quickly turned things around by having two streaks this season of finishing well in the top 10. In the second half of season Sanchez had a 8 long race streak of top-10 finishes that stretched from Pocono to the second Kansas race. During that time he took his third win at Michigan, and followed that act with a second place finish at Watkins Glen International. 

The consistency continued even when the series went dirt racing. Sanchez captured two top 5 finishes in the dirt at Springfield and DuQuoin this year as a dirt rookie. Showing that he can race no matter the circumstances. 

The moral of 2022 is, consistency wins championships. Sanchez now adds another trophy to the Rev Racing shelf. His championship win couldn’t have come at a better time for the NASCAR Drive for Diversity Driver Development Program, as they just announced the 13 drivers selected to participate in the Advance Auto Parts Drive For Diversity Combine. The team also launched new partnerships with Gainbridge and Chevrolet throughout the season. Sanchez now becomes the second driver in program history to win a series championship, next to alumni driver Kyle Larson.

Rev Racing looks to capture the ARCA Menards Series Championship 

Concord, NC — Rev Racing prepares for the last race of the 2022 ARCA Menards Series (AMS), the Shore Lunch 200 at Toledo Speedway. Last weekend in Salem, Chevrolet Drivers Nick Sanchez finished in 6th position and unfortunately Rajah Caruth retired early due a mechanical failure. This weekend Rev Racing looks to capture the 2022 AMS Championship, and aims to have both cars finish in the top 5 of the Owner standings. 

After 19 races in the AMS schedule, Sanchez holds a 2-point lead over Daniel Dye. In the Owner standings, the No. 2 team sits at third place with 882 points, and the No.6 team has 843 points and is just 13 points behind fifth place No. 15 of Venturini. 

“I am reflecting on the highs of the season going into the last race of the year,” said Caruth. The rookie has had a busy 2022 spending his first full-time year at ARCA while also stepping in at other various National series races during the season. Caruth was able to show consistency and strong confidence behind the wheel no matter the circumstances. 

Caruth demonstrated all sorts of his talent this year and will have one more race to end the 2022 season on a good note. “There were some memorable moments this year, it was great to be running up front at some of the big NASCAR tracks that we were competitive at.” Caruth had some mega-drives and top finishes at Talladega, Kansas, Charlotte, and Bristol. “I’m looking forward to a fresh start next year,” said Caruth. 

Caruth will pilot the No. 6 Gainbridge/Max Siegel Inc. Chevrolet and will make his debut at the Toledo Speedway. Caruth summarized his season by stating, “I’ve learned a lot and am interested to reflect on the season in the winter and see how it changed me as a young man.” 

Nick Sanchez, current leader of the AMS point standings, is looking to finish his season on a high as the 2022 Champion of the Series. Sanchez would be the first Championship victor at Rev Racing, since Kyle Lason in 2012. “We have worked hard this season and find ourselves in a position to garner this championship,” said Nick Sanchez. “We have also weathered our fair shares of challenges during this season, so we are really just trying to run a smart race and use what we have learned throughout the year to finish strong. Max and Rev Racing deserve another championship and I hope we can make that happen.” 

“We are really proud of our progress this season,” said Max Siegel, Owner of Rev Racing. “Both Nick and Rajah have really showcased their talents and we continue to see a tremendous amount of growth and passion as it relates to their craft. We look forward to the outcome in Toledo and hope to be celebrating our accomplishments in victory lane.”

Sanchez has been a true standout this season, compiling an impressive 15 top 10s, 9 tops 10s and wins at Kansas, Talladega and Michigan. Sanchez has also balanced a schedule in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, running a handful of races with B.J. McLeod and Big Machine Racing. 

Sanchez will pilot the No. 2 Gainbridge Chevrolet, this Saturday, in hopes of celebrating with Rev Racing sponsors and team. “We have been really fortunate to have the added support of Chevrolet and Gainbridge this year. Their support has been instrumental in the accomplishments we have experienced this season. I have been very fortunate to have had this opportunity with Rev Racing over the past 

five years. I would love to be able to give, whoever has supported me throughout my career, this victory,” said Sanchez! Sanchez has also been a participant of the NASCAR Drive for Diversity Driver Development Program since he entered into Rev Racing’s youth program in 2017. 

Sanchez will kick off the championship weekend at the ARCA Menards Series Championship Press Conference on Oct. 7th, from 1 – 3 pm ET, at the Hilton Garden Inn Toledo.

The Shore Lunch 200 will conclude the 2022 ARCA Menards Series and will take place this Saturday, October 8th, at 4:00 ET on the half mile paved oval in Toledo, Ohio. MAVTV will provide live TV coverage of the race. A livestream will be available on FloRacing and ARCARacing.com.

Rev Racing gears up for the Short Track in Salem

Concord, NC — Rev Racing is back in action after two weeks off of the ARCA Menards Series (AMS) schedule. Chevrolet Drivers Rajah Caruth and Nick Sanchez turn the page to Salem Speedway this weekend, after Caruth came home in 4th and Sanchez finished 12th at Bristol. The Herr’s Snack 200 will give Rev Racing another chance to focus on their short-track racing this weekend and claim points that can help them in both the driver and owner standings as the season gets ready to conclude on October 8th, in Toledo. This week will be another 200-lap test on the 0.555 mile paved oval in Salem, Indiana. 

Caruth was able to find his stride again at Bristol. He managed to qualify 7th and finish in the top 5, showing that he could find pace in the car all weekend long. “I spent the break attempting to make the Valleystar 300 and balancing my studies,” said Caruth, a Winston-Salem State University student studying Motorsports management while also being a full-time young driver. 

Caruth will pilot the No. 6 Max Siegel Inc-Gainbridge Chevrolet this weekend. “I like the Salem track due to its fast speeds and abrasive surface.” The track at Salem should allow the drivers to reach similar speeds to the previous race at Bristol.  

“One of the challenges to short-track racing is managing your race,” Caruth affirmed that his execution will be the key to winning at Salem this weekend. “It’s all about keeping your car clean and your emotions in check,” said Caruth. Caruth looks to follow-up on his performance last year at Salem where he finished third. 

With two races left to go and a 5-point lead over Daniel Dye in the ARCA standings, Nick Sanchez is looking to claim the ARCA Menards Series Championship before the season is over. He would be the first driver to win a series championship for Rev Racing since Kyle Larson won the K&N Pro Series East  in 2012 for Rev Racing. 

“I feel confident for Salem this weekend,” said Sanchez. He spent his off week from ARACA filling in some part time drives for Big Machine Racing in the Xfinity Series. “I grew and learned alot from running in Texas. I will look to apply what I learned in these last two races,” said Sanchez.

Sanchez will hope to make amends from last year’s race at Salem. He qualified third overall until there was a crash on lap 45 that unfortunately ended his race early. This year he enters Salem as the man to beat, as he prepares for a dog-fight between Toyota’s Daniel Dye and teammate Rajah Caruth for the Series Championship. 

The Herr’s Snack 200 marks the nine-teenth race this season and will take place this Saturday, October 1st, at 4:00 ET in Salem, Indiana. MAVTV will provide live TV coverage of the race. A livestream will be available on FloRacing and ARCARacing.com.

Concord, N.C. (September 15, 2022) — NASCAR and Rev Racing announced today the next generation of pit crew members who will begin training as participants in the 2022-23 NASCAR Drive for Diversity Pit Crew Development Program class.

“We look forward to welcoming this year’s class to NASCAR’s most comprehensive pit crew training and development program,” Rev Racing CEO Max Siegel said. “We couldn’t be prouder of the journey both our pit crew development program and graduates have taken from its inception.”

This year, five former college athletes were selected to participate and train in the 2022-2023 program. Rev Racing and the NASCAR Drive for Diversity Pit Crew Development Program seek athletes from all sports. The program recruitment effort and training are led by Coach Phil Horton, Director of Athletic Performance for Rev Racing. The selection process is based on recommendations from coaches and athletic directors.

“With the expansion of our recruiting efforts across the country, the talent level continues to rise,” Horton said. “Our program continues to evolve and create more opportunities for advancement at a higher level.”

This has also been a banner year for program alumni Jeremy Kimbrough and Jerrick Newsome, both crewmembers for Trackhouse Racing, as well as Marcus Horton and Jorden Paige of 23XI Racing.

Rev Racing heads to the world’s fastest half-mile 

Concord, NC — Last weekend in Kansas, Chevrolet drivers Nick Sanchez came home with a second place finish and Rajah Caruth in 12th. Rev Racing continued its dominance at large tracks this year and the runner up finish for Sanchez was enough to earn the General Tire Superspeedway Challenge Championship for the team. This weekend is an opportunity for Rev Racing to improve their short track performance. They will head to the world’s fastest half mile at Bristol Motor Speedway. The Bush Beans 200 will serve as the 18th race in the 2022 ARCA Menards Series season and will conclude this year’s Sioux Chief Showdown. 

“I’m looking forward to Bristol, historically Rev Racing has been good there. We have a very competitive banking package and I want to win badly, especially in Bristol,” said Sanchez. A win in Bristol would be another addition to Sanchez’s collection of big wins at notable NASCAR tracks (Michigan, Kansas, Talladega). 

Both drivers will play double duty this weekend on the 0.533-mile paved oval, Nick Sanchez will make his debut with Big Machine Racing (BMR).  “Big shoes to fill at BMR, with all the cup drivers they had come through this year. My team expects to win and I want to put my best foot forward in my first race with BMR.” 

Sanchez will pilot the No. 2 Max Siegel Inc/GainBridge Chevrolet with Rev, and then No. 48 Big Machine Racing Spiked Chevrolet. This will be Sanchez’s first double duty weekend since Charlotte of this year, Sanchez will compete in three more Xfinity races with BMR at Texas, Las Vegas, and Homestead.

The last two races have not gone in Rajah Caruth’s favor. He suffered an engine problem in DuQuoin. He was able to charge back up the field in Kansas after having a flat tire, but made contact with the wall on lap 98 of the race. However, the rookie is far from giving up on his title hopes. “I Just have to keep going,” said Caruth. 

“I’m ready to get back out there and give it my all.” Caruth will pilot the No. 6 Max Siegel Inc./Gainbridge Chevrolet around the oval at Bristol. He will also take part in another double duty weekend, Caruth will pilot the No. 7 Spire Motorsports truck in the Camping World Trucks Series where he will have another opportunity to show what he can do in a competitive car. 

Caruth turns the page on to Bristol from last season. “I’m excited to go back to Bristol and improve from my performance last year.” Caruth was able to finish in the top 10 at P6, respectively. Caruth has made the most of his 2022 season so far. He has proved that he is a future star in Motorsports and that he is just getting started, having led the series in point standings up until the last few races.

The Bush Beans 200 will take place Thursday, September 15, at 6:30 p.m. FS1 will provide live television coverage of the race. There will be a live stream of the race on the Fox Sports app, and a live radio broadcast on MRN / SiriusXM (XM channel 391, online channel 981) / ARCARacing.com.

Rev Racing with high expectations for Kansas 

Concord, NC — Rev Racing left DuQuoin with Chevrolet drivers Nick Sanchez earning a P5 finish and Rajah Caruth retiring early due to an overheating issue, his first DNF of the season. This weekend is an opportunity for Rev Racing to get back on track at Kansas Speedway. The Kansas Lottery 100 marks the 17th round of the 2022 ARCA Menards Series season. 

Sanchez, who has won the last two ARCA races at Kansas Speedway, is focused on improving the team’s performance overall to ensure a win.” Our team excels on 1.5-mile tracks. Even though we won the last two races in Kansas, we still could have made improvements to our car, and I’m looking forward to competing for the win this Saturday.” 

Sanchez will pilot the No.2 Gainbridge Chevrolet, “I’m keeping my focus forward on Kansas and the next races after.” Sanchez’s mentality remains focused on the current goal and working to win the ARCA championship.

In the first Kansas race back on May 14th, Sanchez and Caruth were able to take advantage of the leaders Corey Heim and Drew Dollar crashing. Both drivers could dominate the rest of the field by having a pure speed that allowed them to secure Rev Racing team owner Max Siegel’s first 1-2 race finish.

Caruth continues to fight this season after suffering an unfortunate retirement in DuQuoin due to his engine overheating. He sits 16 points behind his teammate. However, his retirement last week, combined with the fact Rev has excelled at 1.5 mile tracks this year, is enough to fuel Caruth’s competitive fire for Saturday’s race. 

“I feel like we are the one to beat this weekend,” said Caruth. He has trust in himself and the team that they will turn up to compete once again. “I feel extremely confident, the highest it’s been all year,” said Caruth.

Caruth will pilot the No. 6 Max Siegel/Chevrolet at Kansas Speedway. He will also take part in a double-duty weekend, driving the No. 45 iRacing Chevrolet with Alpha Prime Racing in the Xfinity Series. “It’s truly amazing that iRacing is sponsoring my Xfinity ride. It’s a full circle moment because that’s how I got my start.” 

The Kansas Lottery 100 will take place Saturday, September 10, at 6:00 p.m CT/7:00 p.m ET.. MAVTV will provide live television coverage of the race. There will be a live stream of the race on FloRacing, and a live radio broadcast on ARCARacing.com.

Rev Racing set to get down and dirty in DuQuoin

Concord, NC — The Milwaukee Mile concluded with Chevrolet drivers Rajah Caruth and Nick Sanchez finishing in the top 5 together at P4 and P5. It was the third time this season the duo finished in the top 5 together. This weekend, Caruth and Sanchez will try their hand in dirt racing again, on the one-mile dirt track in DuQuoin, Illinois. The Rust-Oleum Automotive Finishes 100 will serve as the 16th event of the 2022 ARCA Menards Series season and marks Round 9 of the 2022 Sioux Chief Showdown.

Sanchez’s lead in the AMS standings remains within 16 points from his teammate Caruth, who currently sits at third. After a P5 finish last time in the dirt, Sanchez and the No. 2 team are committed to build on their performance from Springfield. “The goal is to improve on our performance at Springfield, we know what we need to do to the car in order to improve for this weekend, and hope for the win.” 

Sanchez will pilot the No.2 Gainbridge Chevrolet this Sunday. “Dirt, asphalt, or whatever, my goal is still to win.” He has kept the same mentality through every race weekend and has dedicated his time off the track to learn more about dirt racing. 

“On dirt, it is more relaxed, there are many aspects that you can’t control like you can on asphalt. My goal is to just be patient and execute.” Sanchez has proven that if he is in a competitive car, he can watch the race unfold in front of him and pick his time to move in and compete upfront. 

“I love dirt racing.” said Rajah Caruth. The rookie enjoyed his first time running in the dirt at Springfield a few weeks ago and is eager to get back on track this Sunday. “I had a blast at Springfield and learned how to approach and drive the ARCA car on dirt.” 

Caruth will pilot the No. 6 Max Siegel Inc./Gainbridge Chevrolet this weekend. “We’ve made some good changes in our package and I believe it’ll help us seal the deal!” Caruth and his team have put in a tremendous amount of work off track to earn his first win before the season closes.

The Rust-Oleum Automotive Finishes 100 will take place Sunday, September 4, at 8:00 p.m CT/ 9:00 p.m ET.. MAVTV will provide live television coverage of the race. There will be a live stream of the race on FloRacing, and a live radio broadcast on ARCARacing.com.

Rev Racing determined to find success at the historic Milwaukee Mile

Concord, NC — After taking on Watkins Glen and the Springfield Fairgrounds in the same weekend, the Rev Racing duo of Sanchez and Caruth are preparing for the Milwaukee Mile this Sunday. Despite being dirt rookies, the team respectfully finished next to one another at P5 and P6 in Illinois. Now they are loading up and heading to the 1-mile track in West Allis, Wisconsin where they will run the Sprecher 150. The race serves as the 15th event of the 2022 ARCA Menards Series season and the sixth race of the 2022 ARCA Menards Series East season. It also marks Round 8 of the 2022 Sioux Chief Showdown.

As the oldest racetrack in the world, Milwaukee will pose some challenges to the team by being a flat and wide track. “We have struggled there in the past,” said Sanchez. “Hopefully, our work will pay off, and I hope we have a good day there.” The team has proven to take on any challenge this season to keep their momentum up between each race weekend. Sanchez also finds himself with the biggest points lead of the AMS season. 

Caruth will pilot the No. 6 Gainbridge Chevrolet, “Historically in ARCA, we’ve been better at tracks with banking and struggled at flat tracks. So hopefully, the changes we made end up helping us.” Said Caruth. “I’m looking forward to returning with a new setup approach than last year. I hope it yields the performance we desire and the results that we have been working for all season.”

The two young stars at Rev have each made significant advancements to push their career forward. Caruth and Sanchez have a handful of Xfinity races left and six more ARCA races to showcase their talents and prove that they are up next. Both feel that winning the AMS Championships will open the door for more career opportunities and add legitimacy to who they are as competitive drivers.  

Sanchez has advanced his career by picking up four more races with Big Machine Racing in the Xfinity series. He has committed himself to achieving the best results no matter what. “As far as the end-of-season goal, I want to win the championship.” Said Sanchez. “There are six more chances for me to visit victory lane, and I will work endlessly to reach those goals.”

Caruth has shown consistency in his performances this year and has made his name known in motorsports. He is determined to become the first African-American to win the ARCA Menards Series championship.

 “Before the ARCA season ends, I want to get my first win and secure the drivers’ championship. It would be huge [to win the championship]. Not too long ago, I was a kid watching Lewis Hamilton win his first championship and Bubba Wallace winning truck races. Now I have the opportunity to not only participation but be a real competitor.” 

The Sprecher 150 will take place Sunday, August 28, at 2:00 p.m CT/ 3:00 p.m ET. MAVTV will provide live television coverage of the race. There will be a live stream of the race on FloRacing, and a live radio broadcast on ARCARacing.com.

I have also been doing a lot of sim racing to prepare and become better there as a driver. Hopefully we bring home a good finish and keep the ball rolling for the rest of the season.”

Rev Racing competes at the historic Springfield Mile for the first time

Concord, NC —The Springfield Mile has been a staple within the ARCA Menard Series since 1983. The Illinois State Fairgrounds has hosted many professional auto races since 1910. This year ARCA will head to the one-mile clay oval for the Atlas 100, the 14th race in the AMS schedule. Although Springfield has been a staple for the series, this will mark Rev Racing’s first trip to the dirt oval.

The Atlas 100 will conclude an action-packed weekend in ARCA. Rev Racing brought competitive cars to the field Friday night that helped Nick Sanchez earn a second place finish at Watkins Glen. Rajah Caruth was able to hold his own after experiencing a flat and finished a respective eleventh. Sanchez, the current series leader, has now extended to 11 points over Daniel Dye and 16 over Rajah Caruth.

“Days like today, we were probably a fourth- or fifth-place car and we finished second,” Sanchez said. “You want to win them, but you also have to look at points.”

The Atlas 100 will be the first of the inaugural Performance Dirt Seed Double. If a driver wins both ARCA dirt events at the Springfield Mile and DuQuoin State Fairgrounds, they will win a $50,000 bonus. However, if no one sweeps the two races, then $5,000 will be awarded to the top performing driver in both races.

As previously stated, this will mark the first time Chevrolet drivers Sanchez and Caruth will run at Illinois State Fairgrounds. They are just 2 of the 12 ARCA drivers that will run at Springfield after competing at Watkins Glen a few days prior. “It’ll definitely be cool to race at another historic track on the ARCA schedule,” said Rajah Caruth.

Caruth has been thrown in different situations throughout his rookie year and has overcome it all. Whether it’s a new road course or a double-duty weekend, the rookie has been able to finish in the top-10 in almost every race this season. Now he will try his hand at dirt racing, “I’ve done a bit of dirt racing this year, not sure if it will give me an advantage per se, but I’m excited,” said Caruth. “Getting a win there would be a dream!” 

The Atlas 100 will take place Sunday, August  21, at 1:00 p.m ET. Live television coverage of the race will be provided by MAVTV. There will be a  live stream of the race on FloRacing, and a live radio broadcast will be on ARCARacing.com.

Rev Racing carries momentum as they prepare for the road course at Watkins Glen

Concord, NC — Rev Racing certainly made the most of their most recent trip to Michigan International Speedway on August 6th. Chevrolet driver Nick Sanchez earned his third win of the ARCA Menards Series (AMS) season and his teammate Rajah Caruth finished in sixth, respectively. This Friday, the team will take on the 11 turns at the historic 2.45 mile Watkins Glen road course in Watkins Glen, New York, for the thirteenth round of the AMS season. 

Sanchez’s third win came off of his brilliant defensive driving against Corey Heim and Daniel Dye. He capitalized on his restarts throughout the race, and charged his way up the field to take his third win of the season. “We held them off at the end of the race and it feels good to win in that way,” said Nick Sanchez. “Strategy came into play, as we did not have the same speed as some of the other front-runners.”

With victories in Talladega, Kansas City, and Michigan, Sanchez has shown that the driver creates the difference in late race battles to capitalize on the win. He also took the lead in the AMS standings as just 9 points separate the top 3 contenders. “It’s nice to have a points cushion, but I’m still focusing on my driving and getting better each race. We can’t check-up. These final races are extremely critical to meet the ultimate goal, winning the championship.” 

Sanchez will pilot the No. 2 Gainbridge Chevrolet at Watkins Glen. He finished 8th in last seasons visit to The Glen.  “I do believe we will have a much better shot at Watkins Glen from a speed perspective,” said Sanchez. “I’m looking forward to Friday’s race and seeing what we can do.”

Teammate, Caruth, is ready to take on his second road course this year and is preparing to improve from his previous experience at Mid-Ohio. “I’m excited to see how I’ll do at another road course,” said Caruth. “It will show how good my preparation is or how much I need to improve.”

Caruth maintains a similar routine for preparing for races, which has been a critical factor in his consistent performance all year, keeping him in contention for the championship. “I think getting time in at another road course will help me overall.” With the end of the season coming soon, Caruth remains in the hunt for his first win in ARCA. “I’ve got to figure out what I was doing at the start of the year, to get back in my groove.” Caruth will pilot the No. 6 Gainbridge/Max Siegel Inc. Chevrolet this weekend.

Caruth is also coming off his second Camping World Truck Series race. He finished 27th after qualifying 28th at Richmond Raceway. This rookie driver has continued to make his name known and aims to leave his mark throughout the different series that also include Trucks and Xfinity. “This year has been a dream. I am extremely grateful for each and every opportunity I have been given,” said Caruth.

The General Tire Delivers 100 will take place Friday, August 19, at 6:00 p.m ET. Live television coverage of the race will be provided by FS1. There will be a  live stream of the race on the Fox Sports App, and a live radio broadcast will be on MRN/Sirius XM (XM channel 391, online channel 981) and at ARCARacing.com.

Rev Racing heads to Michigan to complete their second triple-header of the season

Concord, NC — Rev Racing added another top 10 finish to their record last week at Indianapolis Raceway Park. Chevrolet drivers Nick Sanchez and Rajah Caruth finished next to each other at seventh and eighth, respectively. This weekend Rev will head over to Brooklyn, Michigan, for the twelfth round of the ARCA Menard Series (AMS). The Henry Ford Health 200 will take place Saturday, 8.6, on the 2-mile paved oval at Michigan International Speedway. 

With just 5 points separating the top 3 drivers, Caruth, Sanchez, and Daniel Dye, in the AMS standings, the championship fight is far from over. Caruth is looking forward to Michigan and getting back on track. “We’ve had speed at big tracks due to aerodynamics and updated equipment,” said Caruth. 

Rev has excelled throughout the second triple header since the last triple header that covered Iowa, Berlin, and Elko. “I think this triple header will yield better results due to things we’ve learned so far and how much better we will be at these tracks.” 

Caruth will pilot the No. 6 Gainbridge Chevrolet this Saturday. “I just have to do my proper prep to ensure I’m in the right mentality for Saturday’s race.”

After Indy, Sanchez closed the gap to his teammate to just 1 point in the AMS standings. He will pilot the No. 2 Max Siegel Inc. Chevrolet at Michigan International Speedway. “Michigan is unique because it’s a mix between a 1.5 mile and a super speedway,” said Sanchez. “The straights are very long, and the high downforce lower hp setup of the ARCA cars makes the draft very effective.” 

A longer track like Michigan allows Rev to set up the car with more speed this weekend. “I think our team brings way more speed to a fast momentum track. We know that tracks like Michigan are tracks that we can capitalize on,” said Sanchez. 

Sanchez hopes the combination of confidence and speed will play into a race where he can battle up front for the win. “Dirty air is another trait of Michigan; restarts will be extremely important to get out front and clean air.” 

The Henry Ford Health 200 will take place Saturday, August 6, at 6:30 p.m ET. Live television coverage of the race will be provided by MAVTV. FloRacing will live stream the race, and a live radio broadcast will be on MRN/Sirius XM (XM channel 391, online channel 981) and at ARCARacing.com.

Rev Racing Announces Brad Means as the Crew Chief of the No. 6

Concord, NC — Rev Racing, officially, announced the driver of the No. 6 Chevrolet will have a new crew chief for the remainder of the 2022 season. Brad Means joined Rev Racing mid-season and will work with Rajah Caruth in the ARCA Menards Series. 

Means has spent over 28 years in the racing industry. He is the son of Jimmy Means, who competed at NASCAR’s top level from 1976 through 1993. Mean’s background offers an expanded perspective, bringing driver and crew experience to the team. Means drove in the Hooters Pro Cup Series and NASCAR K&N Series between 1997 and 2014. 

Throughout his career, Means has always enjoyed the challenge of making cars perform better and finding innovative ways to go faster on track. He got his start building cars at Richard Childress Racing. From there, Means helped various teams in both Cup Series and Truck Series by working independently as a body hanger and in fabrication. Most notably, he helped start the fabrication shop at Robby Gordon Motorsport during their run in the Cup Series. 

Means has a long-standing relationship with Rev Racing, as well as strong ties to their manufacturing partner, Chevrolet. His journey with Rev Racing comes full circle as he now has the chance to work with one of Rev’s brightest young stars, Rajah Caruth. Caruth was one of the biggest reasons why Means took the crew chief role. “His talent level is very high,” said Means. “To be able to work with someone who has that ability so early on in their career is really exciting. What he has accomplished in such a short time period is impressive.  I look forward to continuing on this trajectory, as we work toward the Championship.”

Means has built cars and helped teams win in each of the NASCAR Series. He now focuses on assisting Rev to win the 2022 ARCA Menard Series Championship. “In ARCA, you have limited practice. So you have to have the best car when you unload. I think executing details on the car and putting in work sets us up to compete for wins.” “Whether it’s designing cars for the Daytona 500 or setting up the No. 2 and No. 6 at Rev, his attention to detail, hard work, and pure love for the sport separate him from the competition,” said  Matt Bucher, Director of Competition at Rev Racing.

Rev Racing carries momentum into the weekend after two top 5’s in Pocono

Concord, NC — Rev Racing turned it up at the tricky triangle last weekend. Chevrolet drivers, Nick Sanchez finished second and Rajah Caruth was close behind in fourth, after the race was called early due to darkness. Kicking off the race weekend, Rev will head over to Brownsburg, Indiana for the eleventh round of the ARCA Menard Series (AMS). The Reese’s 200 will take place Friday, 7.29, on the 0.686 oval at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park (IRP). 

Caruth maintains his lead in the AMS standings with half of the season done. He will once again take on a new race track this weekend and is keen on achieving the best result possible. “I’ve been running laps on my sim rig, being more diligent in my preparation and learning from the stuff I didn’t do well.”

Sanchez has been able to show raw speed the last few races. After a rainy race at Mid-Ohio and the early conclusion at Pocono, Sanchez is waiting for the right opportunity and conditions to take his next win and continue his battle for the championship with his teammate Caruth. 

Sanchez was seconds away from General Tire Deliver’s winner, Taylor Gray, before the race ended early. “The strength for our team has been speed, we performed very well and brought the two fastest cars the last few weekends,” said Sanchez. Unfortunately, Jesse Love’s spin in the closing stages prevented Sanchez from making a move on Gray for the win, “Something out of our control happened,” said Sanchez. “I don’t think we could have played any differently, at the end of the day we had a fast car and that is all I can ask for.” 

Sanchez will pilot the No.2 Gainbridge Chevrolet at IRP Friday. “As long as we can keep the car fast and handle well, we should be in a good position to win races.” As the team is hopeful to continue to bring a fight to the front rows moving forward with the season. 

Rev Racing will also debut their new car schemes at Indianapolis, after announcing Gainbridge as its new primary sponsor. Both the No. 2 and No. 6 Chevrolet will run the new look this weekend.

The Reese’s 200 will take place Friday, July 29, at 6:00 p.m ET. Live television coverage of the race will be provided by FS1. Fox Sports app will live stream the race, and a live radio broadcast will be on MRN/Sirius XM (XM channel 391, online channel 981) and at ARCARacing.com.

Nick has had some great results in ARCA this year and when Shane (Martin) brought us the opportunity to work with Nick, Chevrolet and NASCAR, it made perfect sense for us as we continue to develop our racing program at a very rapid pace.” 

Shane Martin, Xfinity Series Program Manager for Chevrolet, said, “I have enjoyed working with Nick Sanchez the last few months on his Xfinity plans. At 21 years old it is hard to believe how mature and easy to work with he is. From our simulator to on track, Nick has what it takes to go far in our sport, and I am honored to be a part of it. Working on this partnership between NASCAR, Chevrolet, and Big Machine Racing has been rewarding and fulfilling and I cannot wait for Bristol to get here to get it started!”
