Nolan Wilson, Cook Racing Technologies team up at Daytona International Speedway

Nolan Wilson is back in the ARCA Menards Series at Daytona International Speedway in 2027, this time with Cook Racing Technologies in the No. 42 Chevrolet SS.

This will be the first time CRT and the veteran driver have teamed up.

“I can’t wait to get behind the wheel of the 42.” Wilson said. “I’m excited to be working with Cook Racing Technologies at Daytona in 2027 and look forward to getting started at the ARCA test in January.”

The No. 42 CRT Chevrolet will hit the asphalt for ARCA Menards Series pre-race practice on Jan. 15-16, followed by the 2027 Daytona ARCA 200 on Saturday, February 20.

This will be Wilson’s third ARCA Menards Series attempt at the high banks of Daytona for the ARCA 200, driving for Kimmel Racing in 2025 and 2026. The 52-year-old is looking to build off the last two years.

“I am more focused than ever; I do this because I love to compete,” Wilson said. “I’ve learned a lot since I returned to Daytona three years ago. With Bruce and the rest of the CRT team behind me, the 42 Chevy is going to be a rocket ship. The test can’t get here quickly enough.”

Bruce Cook, owner of Cook Racing Technologies, is no stranger to success in the ARCA Menards Series. Just last season, the CRT team won two ARCA Menards Series races with 2026 NASCAR Truck Series champion Kaden Honeycutt and earned one more win in the ARCA Menards West Series.

CRT will enter both the 17 and the 42 cars at the World Center of Racing in February.

“We are excited to have Nolan join CRT for Daytona,” Cook said. “It’s always an asset to have two cars for the test and race. We expect big things in 2027 for our team.”

Wilson has plenty of experience at Daytona having raced there in the NASCAR Goody’s Dash Series, and he has turned more laps than one can count as a driving instructor there.

“I’ve said it a million times, and I’ll say it again — that track is like my second home,” the Sanford, Florida resident said. “From family to friends, it has been a gathering spot my entire life. There would be no better feeling in the world than to drive the No. 42 CRT Chevrolet to victory lane at Daytona International Speedway.”

There are opportunities available to partner with Wilson for the ARCA race at Daytona. Please contact Cook Racing Technologies on social media for information.
