Ethan Nascimento is an entry-level professional competing part-time in the ARCA Menards West, a national single-class oval and road racing championship that draws amateur, semi-professional and professional drivers to the same grid. He drives the No. 4/21 Chevrolet for Nascimento Motorsports and has run 13 starts in the series across three seasons from 2023 to 2026, alongside one start in the ARCA Menards Series proper.[1]
His record stands at one win and two podiums from 14 total starts. Nascimento secured his first ARCA West victory in 2026 at All American Speedway. His regular competition includes Trevor Huddleston, the 2025 ARCA Menards West champion and a professional with more than 70 starts in the series, whom Nascimento has finished ahead of twice; and David Smith, a competitive amateur regular, with whom he is closely matched.[2]
Racing primarily on ovals in the ARCA West field, Nascimento typically finishes behind Huddleston but has occasionally beaten him and other professional drivers, including Landen Lewis, who has raced at the national truck series level.
