Racing career
ARCA Menards Series
Nicolopoulos would first race in 2011, with Brad Smith Motorsports after meeting Chrysler coworker Brad Smith. He would first spot for Smith, then drive a second entry for Smith at certain races. Smith's second entry was a start-and-park entry, meaning that the team would pull in early every race. [1]
In 2014, Nicolopoulos would sign with Wayne Peterson Racing part-time, running a start-and-park entry for most of his races. Nicolopoulos would finish his first race in 2017 at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway, finishing 26th. Since then, he has earned one top ten at Winchester Speedway, and has finished 20 of his 92 attempts in the ARCA Menards Series.
Personal life
Nicolopoulos is an engineer for Chrysler in thermal dynamics. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he also worked on developing new healthcare products.[1]
