Overview
- Peterson Racing announced that Nick Sanchez will pilot its No. 87 Chevrolet on a limited schedule starting at Pocono, with additional races at Chicagoland, EchoPark and Indianapolis.
- The team framed Sanchez’s addition as part of program growth and said he will provide technical input while Peterson fields a second driver.
- Peterson quoted Austin Green as accepting reduced driving time and remaining with the team in a support role at events he will attend.
- Other reports say Green could return for the San Diego and Sonoma road-course races, creating conflicting accounts of which races he will drive and leaving details still developing.
- Sanchez became available after AM Racing stopped entering his No. 25 car earlier this season, and it is not yet clear whether his starts will carry him into the series playoffs or how the change will affect Green’s standing.
