AM Racing has signed Nick Sanchez full-time in 2026
Just days ahead of the 2026 season, Nick Sanchez has landed a new ride. He’ll drive the No. 25 for AM Racing in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series.
Last season, Sanchez drove full-time for Big Machine Racing in the O’Reilly Series. He picked up 1 win, the first of his career via Atlanta Motor Speedway.
AM Racing ended 2025 with a near sale of the team. Sigma Performance Services Racing (SPS Racing) put out a release that they had acquired AM Racing back in November.
However, just days ago, AM Racing announced that the deal with SPS did not go through. Instead, AM Racing will continue to operate as an independent team in 2026.
