Nick Joanides is a driver competing in various NASCAR divisions around the country since 1992. Divisions include the Camping World Grand National West & East Series and the now defunct Autozone Elite Division Southwest & Midwest Series.

In 2009, Joanides became the first driver in the history of Toyota Speedway at Irwindale to win championships in the top two premier divisions, and he did so in the same season. 2009 saw Joanides win the NASCAR AcDelco Super Late Model Championship, NASCAR Auto Club Late Model Championship, NASCAR Whelen All-American Series California State Championship and the Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 Championship. He ended up third in the NASCAR All-American Series National standings. In total, Joanides competed in 42 races and scored 17 wins, 33 podium, 37 top 5 and 41 top 10 finishes.

Joanides retired from full-time racing following the 2010. He came out of retirement late in 2015. He's competed in 30 events since, posting 15 wins and 26 top 5 finishes. In 2016, an engine failure cost him 32 points in third event of the season. Joanides would go on to finish 2nd in the final point standings, just 24 points shy of the championship.

Joanides returned to Performance P-1 Motorsports in 2018 for a part-time schedule in NASCAR K&N Pro Series West.

He returned in 2019 for one-race deal with DeLong Racing.
