Reyna will take to the track for the second time with his Rev Racing team this season. Although not his first time at Florence Motor Speedway, Reyna is preparing like it will be.
“I’ve been to Florence a few times but I’m trying to approach the race like it’s my first time there,” said Reyna. “It’s a new car, new team, and new Crew Chief in 2023. We still have plenty to learn about one another and building a good rapport takes time.” He concluded with his excitement “I’m really looking forward to getting started.”
Justin Campbell
Team: No. 6 Max Siegel Inc. Chevrolet with Director Late Model Programming, Crew Chief John Carroll
Just coming off of a promising couple of runs at Hickory Motor Speedway (3.4), Campbell is motivated to apply what he learned and aim for good finishing results. Campbell finished 7th and 12th in the two 40-lap features. This will mark Justin’s third time competing at Florence Motor Speedway, but first time driving in the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series in a Late Model. Campbell raced at Florence twice in 2022 in the US Legends Car Series, where he was able to secure a top 5 and a 2nd place finish.
“After a clean run at Hickory, I’m looking forward to Florence this weekend,” said Justin Campbell. “It’s one of my favorite tracks, mainly because of how technical the track is. There are going to be new challenges to face with tire management. I have confidence going into this race due to my prior experience and I’m excited for this weekend. Rev Racing has done a great job with the car and helping with my development. I am certain this weekend is going to have a great turnout and good results.”

Both Nathan Lyons and Eloy Sebastian López Falcón are set to take to the ½ mile track in the US Legend Car Series at Florence Speedway this Saturday (3.18) for a 25-lap feature. This will mark both Lyon’s and López Falcón’s debut with Rev Racing at Florence Motor Speedway.
Lyons, just turning 14 on March 14th, is Rev Racing’s youngest program participant. Lyons began racing a Bandolero Car at age 12. He competed at the Winter Heat in 2022 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, where in his first race he finished 9th and 8th in his second race.
In 2022, he raced at the Winter Nationals in Florida where he garnered his first career win. Also, in 2022, he participated in the Nashville Spring Series, which is a 6-race event, Lyons placed 4th in one race and finished in the top 10 in the remaining races.
When asked, Nathan only had one thing to say and that was, “I’m Confident.”
Eloy is no newcomer to racing, although this will be the first he will compete in the US Legend Car. The 17-year-old, from Oaxaca, MX, was also the 2022 NASCAR Truck Series México champion.
Eloy started his career in karting in 2010, where he became the Super Karts Cup (SKC) Grill Champion 50 multiple years in a row. In 2012, he began his journey into F1. By 2013, Eloy became the first Mexican driver to have a pass to the Rotax Grand World Championship. He became the Micromax Category Champion in 2014. In 2021, he debuted in the NASCAR Mexico Truck Series, where he became the Champion in his rookie year. He will continue to run both a schedule in the United States with Rev Racing as well as continuing his efforts in the NASCAR Mexico Series.
