AM Racing won’t be at Rockingham Speedway this weekend. On Tuesday, AM Racing withdrew Nick Sanchez’s No. 25 car from the NASCAR O’Reilly Series race at Rockingham. It was a shocking development after Sanchez join the NASCAR organization for the full 2026 O’Reilly Series season.
Entering Rockingham, Sanchez sat 25th in the point standings behind Austin Green. Meanwhile, the No. 25 car sat 29th in the owner’s standings. It has been a really difficult start to the 2026 NASCAR season for Sanchez and AM Racing. Now, they won’t even show up to Rockingham this weekend.

Due to NASCAR’s waiver system, it is unlikely that Sanchez would be eligible to make the Chase in the O’Reilly Series unless he finds a ride at Rockingham. If not, Sanchez’s hopes for a NASCAR championship in 2026 are over, and hopefully, AM Racing can return to the race track soon.
