Nolan Wilson (born February 17, 1974) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He currently competes part-time in the ARCA Menards Series, driving the No. 69 Ford for Kimmel Racing. He previously competed part-time in the NASCAR Goody's Dash Series.[1]
Racing career
In 2000, Wilson made his debut in the NASCAR Goody's Dash Series. Over the next three seasons, Wilson made three starts at Daytona International Speedway, resulting in a best finish of tenth in 2001.[2] He also made a start at Charlotte Motor Speedway that same year, netting him a nineteenth-place finish. During this time, he was in talks with Dale Earnhardt about starting a driving school, which would have included Wilson making select starts in the NASCAR Busch Series while driving the No. 3 to promote the school, although those plans fell through after Earnhardt's death in the 2001 Daytona 500.[3] Afterwards, Wilson ran in the ASA Late Model Series on a part-time basis between 2006 and 2007.
On November 19, 2024, it was announced that Wilson would attempt to make his ARCA Menards Series debut at the season-opening race at Daytona International Speedway in 2025, driving the No. 69 Ford for Kimmel Racing, with former NASCAR Cup Series driver Jerry Nadeau serving as a consultant for Wilson.[4][5][6] After starting 28th due to qualifying being cancelled due to weather, Wilson finished in the same position in the race, retiring due to damage that he suffered in a multi-car crash only a handful of laps in. On March 4, it was announced that Wilson will run at Talladega Superspeedway with the team in the No. 69 again.[7][8] He finished in fourteenth despite being collected in a multi-car crash on the final lap of the race.
Personal life
Wilson is the owner of Nucleus Events, a business which hires professional drivers for automotive showcases. He is also the owner of Knight Operations Inc., a logistics company.[3]
