Nick Sanchez will return to Peterson Racing for the next five O’Reilly Auto Parts Series races to drive the No. 87 Chevrolet through Bristol Motor Speedway, the team announced on Friday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
In three races with Peterson Racing, Sanchez has banked a pair of top-20 finishes, including a best of 12th at Chicagoland Speedway. He was challenging for the win on the final lap in the most recent event at EchoPark Speedway, but tangled with Brennan Poole and dropped to 19th with a wrecked race car.
Sanchez ranked 11th in practice on Friday in preparation for Saturday’s Pennzoil 250 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He will return to the seat following an off week at Iowa Speedway, with upcoming races at Daytona International Speedway, Darlington Raceway, World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway and Bristol.
