A few years ago, Brad Perez was valeting cars. Now, he drives in NASCAR.
Perez, 27, calls himself a “working-class racer” because he's built a different, wildly interesting version of a race career — one that takes a special kind of hustle. When he's not running a race in the Xfinity Series with Alpha Prime, he spends much of his time supporting other drivers in NASCAR’s top levels. When he’s not at one of those races, he’s a driving instructor for organizations like the BMW Performance Center and Ford Performance Driving School. And he's making up for lost time.
