Other credits include –WCW’s MONDAY NITRO and THURSDAY THUNDER as well as appearing on numerous television shows and tours promoting HOGAN KNOWS BEST.
Being a former motocross driver, Nick joined the drift racing circuit in 2004 and immediately displayed exceptional skill and potential. With the aid of professional motion picture stunt man and driver BOBBY ORE, plus attending BOBBY ORE’s stunt driving school, Nick sharpened his skills and acquired his professional “drift” license. Afterwards he tried out for and secured a spot on the famed MOPAR DRIFT TEAM by driving The Viper in the “2006 Amateur Series.” Nick drove The Charger and competed along side FORMULA D champion SAMUEL HUBINETTE in the “2007 Pro Series.”
Recently, Nick left TEAM MOPAR and formed his own professional team, HOGAN DRIFT, where he has built two Nissan 240 sx’s and twin Nissan 350 z’s. He placed third on the podium as well as having several “top 16” finishes in 2007 during the NOPI PRO DRIFT SERIES. Nick has appeared several times on the NOPI DRIFT TELEVISION SHOW, TUNERVISION, which airs numerous times on Speed Channel.
Due to a tragic accident in August, 2007, that injured his best friend John Graziano, Nick has become spokesperson for The National Wave’s Keep It On the Track initiative that will help raise money for The J & J Recovery Fund. He is now committed to educating drivers about the importance of making safer driving decisions.
In 2008, Nick has refocused and set his sights high. He looks to do more film work as a means of raising money for The J & J Recovery Fund. |
