Nick Igdalsky (born September 7, 1977) is an American professional stock car racing driver who last competed part-time in the ARCA Menards Series driving the No. 12 Toyota for Fast Track Racing. He currently serves as the senior vice president and CEO of both Pocono Raceway and South Boston Speedway.

Racing career

Igdalsky started racing at the age of sixteen, participating in the Bertil Roos Racing School programs up to twice a year by the time he graduated from Elon University. From that point, he would compete in two SCCA races, winning in his first regional race and finishing second in his other start after starting last due to a suspension part braking during qualifying.{{Cite web|url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/251503-nick-igdalsky-from-pocono-raceway-president-to-arca-remax-driver|title=Nick Igdalsky: From Pocono Raceway President To ARCA RE/MAX Driver|website=Bleacher Report|publisher=Mary Jo Buchanan|access-date=June 8, 2023}}

In 2009, Igdalsky would join the Grand-Am Road Racing series, racing alongside cousin Chase Mattioli. It was also during this year that he would make his debut in the ARCA Re/Max Series driving the No. 83 Ford for Andy Belmont Racing at New Jersey Motorsports Park, where he would finish 14th.{{Cite web|url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/251503-nick-igdalsky-from-pocono-raceway-president-to-arca-remax-driver|title=Nick Igdalsky: From Pocono Raceway President To ARCA RE/MAX Driver|website=Bleacher Report|publisher=Mary Jo Buchanan|access-date=June 8, 2023}} In the following year, he would run the full schedule, splitting time between Belmont's team and Mark Gibson Racing on his way to finish 13th in the points standings. He would run five races in the No. 23 Chevrolet for Hixson Motorsports the following year, getting a best finish of 17th at Milville.

In 2013, Igdalsky would run both Pocono Raceway events for Universe Racing, finishing 26th in the first race due to a crash, and eleventh in the second race.{{Cite web|url=https://www.poconoraceway.com/raceway-executive-nick-igdalsky-run-pa-sponsorship.html|title=RACEWAY EXECUTIVE NICK IGDALSKY TO RUN WITH PA SPONSORSHIP

After not running in the series through 2016 and 2019, it was announced that Igdalsky would run for Fast Track Racing in the No. 12 Toyota at the Daytona International Speedway road course, where he would finish one lap down in 14th.{{Cite web|url=https://www.poconorecord.com/story/sports/nascar/2020/08/10/igdalsky-to-make-racing-return-at-daytona/113407064/|title=Igdalsky to make racing return at Daytona|website=Pocono Record|access-date=June 8, 2023}} He would run with the team again at Pocono the following year, where he would finish 21st due to being involved in a crash with Bryan Dauzat.

Personal life

Igdalsky is the grandson of Drs. Rose and Joseph Mattioli, the original owners of Pocono Raceway, and the cousin of former driver Chase Mattioli.{{Cite web|url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/251503-nick-igdalsky-from-pocono-raceway-president-to-arca-remax-driver|title=Nick Igdalsky: From Pocono Raceway President To ARCA RE/MAX Driver|website=Bleacher Report|publisher=Mary Jo Buchanan|access-date=June 8, 2023}}
