Argentine 🇦🇷 driver baltaleguizamon hopes to make his NASCAR Xfinity Series debut in 2023:
There have been several international drivers who have successfully raced in recent years in NASCAR, the most prominent cases being those of Colombian Juan Pablo Montoya, Brazilian Nelson Piquet Jr. and Mexican Daniel Suárez, the latter being the 2016 champion of the Xfinity Series and became a first-time winner the Cup Series this past season.
“A manager I had in the United States called me a little over two months ago and contacted me with the team. We were talking and as soon as the idea of what to do started to close, the team contacted me with NASCAR, where I had a very important acceptance because everyone welcomed me and that was very good because it helped me to do everything quickly to get the license.
Leguizamón’s experience at COTA comes from the years he raced in the U.S. in Formula 4, Formula 3 and Formula Atlantic, the latter series where he won the championship in 2018. Leguizamón, who due to the pandemic had to stop racing at international level to focus on Argentina where he excelled in Top Race and recently made his debut in TC Mouras, confesses he has been a NASCAR fan for many years.
