Who is Nick Pistone?

Nick Pistone is Chase Pistone’s elder brother and a former NASCAR driver. He is one of the prominent figures in the Legends Racing community. While he is not a racer in the Legends series, Nick is a car builder and a tire specialist. The former NASCAR driver owns a motorsport brand, NSANE Grip focussing on Legend cars. With more than three decades of experience, Nick has been able to provide parts that help racers across the United States in building cars.

During his racing career, Chase competed in several competitions like the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, the NASCAR Xfinity Series, and the ARCA Menards Series. 

In 2005, he would enter the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and compete for Green Light Racing at Martinsville Speedway.
