Rev Racing Hits the Fast Lane: Andres Perez and Lavar Scott Gear Up for Iowa Speedway

July 12, 2023

Concord, NC– Next up in the ARCA Menards Series (AMS) and ARCA Menards Series East (AMS East) is a combo race at the iconic Iowa Speedway! The Calypso 150 is the first combo of the season, promising to bring fierce competitors from both series to the same track, including Rev Racing’s very own Andres Perez de Lara and Lavar Scott. 

Andres Perez de Lara will pilot the No.2 Max Siegel Inc. Chevrolet while Lavar Scott is set to field the No.6 Max Siegel Inc. Chevrolet. Scott and Perez de Lara have been working together at Rev Racing, preparing for the upcoming race. 

This will be Perez’s and Scott’s first visit to Iowa Speedway. Both development drivers are focused on finishing strong, using skills they have learned this season in AMS and AMS East. Perez most recently finished 5th at Elko Speedway in the last oval race in AMS. Meanwhile, Scott is using momentum from his career-best finish at Flat Rock Speedway where he brought home 2nd. 

“Every new race is an opportunity to push the limits of our potential,” said Perez. “Mechanical issues resulted in a finish that didn’t show our capability during mid-Ohio, but this has fueled our determination for a win.” Perez expressed enthusiasm “I always enjoy racing at new tracks, especially ones with history. I always learn something new.” 

Scott has received a boost of confidence after his finish at Flat Rock, and with that, the No.6 team is hungry for victory lane. 

“I am incredibly excited to get back behind the wheel of the No.6 and to visit Iowa Speedway. My team and I have been working diligently to prepare our Chevrolet and I know we have the speed to contend at Iowa. I hope to bring Rev their first win this season by using what I learned at Flat Rock.”

The Calypso 150 is scheduled for Saturday, July 15th where Perez and Scott will race for 150 laps and 132 miles. Final practice is set for 5:00 PM ET to 5:45 PM ET followed by qualifying at 6:00 PM ET. Both drivers will attend an autograph session at 6:45 PM ET where we hope to see fans come out in support of Scott and Perez. The command “start your engines” is scheduled to be given at 8:05 PM ET. You can tune in on FS1, Sirius X, the Fox Sports App, and Rev social media for live updates.
