Vicente Austin Salas (born August 20, 2002) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He competes part-time in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, driving the No. 20 Chevrolet Silverado for Young's Motorsports and the No. 91 Silverado for McAnally-Hilgemann Racing.

Racing career
In 2011, Salas started his racing career by racing karts at local tracks in California. By the time he was 15, he had moved up to shifter karts and started competing at a national level. His career was temporarily halted by the COVID-19 lockdown, where he switched over to the eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series, and saw some success with a dominating win in the 2021 race at Richmond Raceway, where he led every single lap of the race.[3]
