🇺🇸 Con Nicolopoulos

Con Nicolopoulos is a competitive amateur racing in the ARCA Menards Series, a national single-class stock car championship that fields drivers from amateur through established professional level in the same races. He drives the No. 06 for Peterson Motorsports and has been a part-time regular in the series since 2014, with three additional starts in ARCA Menards East, the circuit's eastern regional division.[1]

Across twelve seasons, Nicolopoulos has accumulated 93 starts across both series, competing predominantly on oval tracks; 82 of his 90 ARCA Menards Series starts have come on ovals, with the remainder split between road and street courses. His record places him typically mid-field against the regulars he races most often. Brad Smith, a fellow competitive amateur with 236 ARCA Menards starts, has usually finished ahead of him, as has Thomas Praytor, an entry-level professional with 109 starts in the series. Nicolopoulos has finished ahead of more accomplished drivers on isolated occasions; he has beaten Riley Herbst, an established professional with 79 NASCAR Cup Series starts and 52 in ARCA, once in their meetings, and Kyle Sieg, a professional with 142 NASCAR Xfinity starts, twice.[2]

His team, Peterson Motorsports, is a small operation with no wins in the index across nine drivers, the strongest of whom rates as entry-level professional. In 2026, Nicolopoulos sits 34th in the ARCA Menards Series championship standings through four rounds run so far.
