NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series (NCTS) driver Nick Sanchez is returning to his hometown of Miami, Florida, this coming weekend to compete in the NASCAR Playoffs at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Sanchez will pilot the No. 2 Gainbridge Chevrolet, with Rev Racing, at the Baptist Health 200 on Saturday, October 26.
Racing back where it all began, Sanchez strives to secure a spot in the NCTS Championship Four in Phoenix. With only two races left—Homestead-Miami and Martinsville Speedway—every point counts in his playoff quest.
Sanchez, a Cuban-American, has driven for Rev Racing for six seasons. Rev Racing is the competition arm of NASCAR’s Drive for Diversity Program. It serves as the NASCAR-supported racing team charged with developing drivers and pit crew members from diverse backgrounds and experiences in the NASCAR development series for future competition at NASCAR’s highest levels.
Sanchez’s passion for racing started when he was five years old and attended his first NASCAR truck race at Homestead-Miami Speedway. By the age of 12, he was karting in his Miami community. Since then, he has raced in the ARCA East Series, and the ARCA National Series, where he secured the 2022 championship, and is now in his second season in the NCTS. Sanchez recently announced he will drive the No. 48 Chevrolet for Big Machine Racing in the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series. Sanchez is currently sitting 7th in the NCTS point standings and is determined to find his way to the Championship Finals in Phoenix, AZ in early November. “Racing at the track where I saw my first race is a full-circle moment for me,” said Sanchez. “Coming home always boosts my confidence, and I believe we’re going to perform well.”
In his second NCTS season, Sanchez has already celebrated two victories, two pole positions, nine top 5s, and 12 top 10s. He started on the pole at Homestead-Miami in 2023 and is aiming to continue that tradition on Friday, October 25th with qualifying set for 3:05 pm ET. The green flag will drop at noon ET on Saturday.
Sanchez will also connect with his family, friends, and local Miami fans at a special meet-and-greet opportunity before Saturday’s race. Fans may purchase this special ticket package that includes a reserved grandstand ticket for Saturday’s Doubleheader race, the meet & greet, and a custom Nick Sanchez Hero Card on Homestead-Miami Speedway’s website at https://www.homesteadmiamispeedway.com/special-offers/.
