      • Vicente Austin Salas (born August 20, 2002) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He competes part-time in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, driving the No. 20 Chevrolet Silverado for Young's Motorsports and the No. 91 Silverado for McAnally-Hilgemann Racing. He also competes in the eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series, and won the 2023 championship in the Contender Series.


      Racing career


      In 2018, Salas started his racing career by racing karts at local tracks in California. By the time he was 15, he had moved up to shifter karts and started competing at a national level. His career was temporarily halted by the COVID-19 lockdown, where he switched over to the eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series, and saw some success with a dominating win in the 2021 race at Richmond Raceway, where he led every single lap of the race.
      Salas began competing in late model racing in 2022 in the CARS Tour, which was his first time racing a real-life car. A fourth-place finish in his first race convinced team owner Justin Carroll to give him a full-time ride in the series for the 2023 season. On March 18, 2024, it was announced that he would make his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut in the race at Circuit of the Americas driving the No. 20 truck for Young's Motorsports. He started 31st, but his day ended early with his truck having transmission issues and he finished 34th. Salas made his second Truck Series start at World Wide Technology Raceway driving the No. 91 for McAnally-Hilgemann Racing.
