by

Nick Sanchez will compete in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series full time for AM Racing for 2026, the team announced Feb. 9.

Sanchez will be the pilot of AM’s No. 25 in 2026.

Harrison Burton spent one season with the team in 2025 in the No. 25 before signing with Sam Hunt Racing for this year.

Nick Sanchez Won’t Be Back at Big Machine

The news comes after Sanchez was released from his previous team, Big Machine Racing, unexpectedly during the offseason.

Last year, he scored his first career win at EchoPark Speedway and finished 11th in points with seven top fives and 12 top 10s.

Like Sanchez, AM’s plans changed during the offseason. The organization was originally set to become part of Sigma Performance Services before the deal fell through this year, leading to AM becoming a presence on the grid yet again.
