Salvatore Iovino is an American professional stock car racing driver and team owner for Holleran-Iovino Racing (HIR) in the K&N Pro Series East, competing under the Patriot Motorsports Group.[3] Prior to competing in stock car racing, he competed as a NHRA drag racing driver.[4] Iovino is a first-generation driver.[5]
Early life and career
Iovino was born in Phoenix, Arizona and raised in Southern California.[6] In 2008, he moved to Georgia,[7] where he owns the Atlanta-based telecommunications company, Integrated Tower Services LLC. The company performs cell tower maintenance, repair and installation.[8]
Racing career
In 2012, Iovino began his racing career competing in the NHRA,[5] driving Pro Stock, Pro Dial, and Super Pro Street Class drag cars.[4] In early 2016, Iovino began stock car racing, starting with the NASCAR All-Whelen Modified’s, NAPA Latemodel Series.[9] In July 2016, he moved into the NASCAR K&N Pro Series starting his first race at the Stateline Speedway in Idaho.[4] After moving to the K&N series, Iovino completed the 7 races that were left on the schedule. Despite only completing half the season, Iovino won the honors of Most Popular Driver for the NASCAR K&N Pro West Series in November 2016.[10] On February 19, 2017, Iovino finished 17th in his first NASCAR K&N Pro Series East race at New Smyrna.[11]
On March 15, 2017, it was announced that Iovino would drive full-time for Copp Motorsports in the Camping World Truck Series during the 2018 season.[12] The partnership did not work out as family issues derailed him from gaining the permits necessary to compete. He is planning on running the full 2018 NASCAR K&N Pro Series East season, with some K&N West and ARCA races being a part of the schedule in 2018.[13][14]
