Nick Azure

Nicholas Prince Azure (born on July 16, 1987 in San Francisco, California) is an American race car driver currently running full time in the TM Lights. He also runs in the ARLA Elite Series. He races for FAC Motorsports, which is owned by his uncle Frank Azure.

Beginnings
Nick has always wanted to have a career in racing as his grandfather Frank Azure, Sr., as well as his uncle, Frank Azure, Jr. had careers in racing. Being the son of two successful realtors, funding his racing endeavors wasn't hard. He started running go-karts at Antioch Speedway at age 8. He moved to quarter midgets at age 12 and won the track championship at age 14. Throughout the time he finished high school, he was winning on short tracks throughout the west coast. After high school, Nick left racing in order to go to school for animation in Providence, Rhode Island, where his unlce Frank resides.

The Return
After two years away from the track, Nick was itching to return to racing. In 2007, Frank was starting a race team and recruited Nick to drive in the NSCRA Junior Division. Nick did not hesitate to accept Frank's offer. He dropped out of college and the team was ready to race by May of that year. He made his NSCRA debut at the Richmond International Raceway, where he finished 13th. He would show his talent right from the get go, as he would make six more starts that year and would get three top 5's with a best finish of 3rd at the Memphis Motorsports Park. The team then announced they would run full time in 2008.
