Andres Perez de Lara will run in the ARCA Menards Series for Rev Racing in 2023, Rev announced Jan. 13.
Perez de Lara takes over the No. 2 from the departing Nick Sanchez, who moves to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series after winning the 2022 ARCA title in the car.
In 2022, Perez de Lara ran a limited ARCA schedule for TRICON Garage. He scored a seventh-place finish in his debut at Bristol Motor Speedway.
He also ran a pair of ARCA Menards Series West events for the team, scoring two top fives — a second and a third.
Perez de Lara turns 18 on April 2, meaning he will be unable to contest the season opener at Daytona International Speedway. His full schedule has not yet been announced.
