Nick Noback
Born in Las Vegas, Nevada
Lives in Atlanta, Georgia
Nick has had a passion for cars and racing ever since he can remember. Not only does he love cars, but he grew up an avid skateboarder, BMX biker, and competitive ice hockey player. When Nick was a kid he saw The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, and fell in love with drifting. In 2012, Nick was able to attend his first Formula Drift event as a spectator. He then built a racing simulator to work on a foundation for driving skills. In 2016, he started drifting at local events and started drifting competitively in 2017. In his first year he won the local grassroots championship, securing a win and a second place finish out of three events. Additionally, in 2017 and 2018 Nick crewed for a Formula Drift team.
In 2018, Nick competed in Pro/Am in both East 10 Drift and Lone Star Drift. In 2019 he was awarded two Formula Drift Pro 2 licenses. He also traveled to Japan with the Lone Star Drift group in 2018 and 2019 to train for 2 weeks with several international drivers. In 2020, Nick went on to earn a Pro 1 license for 2021. For 2021, Nick elected to stay in ProSpec (formerly Pro2) to develop his skills more and to work on other aspects of the program. He finished 2nd overall in the 2021 ProSpec championship, securing podium spots in 3 out of the 4 ProSpec rounds. The 2022 season was Nick’s first step into Formula Drift Pro, the highest level of competitive drifting in the world.
In the 2023 Formula Drift season, Noback won his first Formula Drift Pro event at Irwindale Speedway, which was only his second year in FD Pro. It was a perfect event for him-qualifying 1st and winning. He finished 12th overall for the 2023 season. Nick will be going into his 3rd year as a Pro driver in 2024.
