Brad Perez, Homestead-Miami, Space Beans Racing T-Shirt

Brad Perez is a 27-year-old working-class, first-generation racer of Puerto Rican and Dominican descent making his way into professional motorsports. Brad started racing go-karts at a 17-years-old before building a Spec Miata to participate in the hyper-competitive SCCA Spec Miata class — while taking on multiple internships in organizations series including NASCAR, IMSA, SCCA, and NASA to further elevate his racing and technical prowess.

Brad then moved to North Carolina in 2019, working for multiple NASCAR Cup, Xfinity, ARCA, and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series teams over the years. These experiences provided invaluable exposure to the inner working of professional racing teams. Currently, Brad shares his driving knowledge as a high-performance driving instructor at the BMW Performance Center in Greer, SC, and the Ford Performance Driving School in Concord, NC.

In 2021, he made his professional racing debut in the ARCA Menards Series with Josh Williams Motorsports at Watkins Glen. The following year, he made his NASCAR Truck Series and NASCAR Xfinity Series debuts. In all his races that year (4), he finished in the top 25, completing every race.
