Mike Wise (born December 21st, 1986) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He currently competes full time in the NASCAR Euro Series, driving the No. 20 FJ Car for Lux Motorsports, and part-time in the NASCAR Trucks Mexico Series, driving for ANVI Motorsports. He has previously competed in the V8 Oval Series, Formula BRL, and the Italia Legends Cars Series.

Racing career After tearing all the ligaments in both of his knees skateboarding, Wise decided to pursue a career in motorsports. With no previous experience (other than a Kyle Petty driving experience at Texas Motor Speedway when he was 16) Mike took part in a recruitment test for the NASCAR Euro Series in early 2025. Around the same time, he also participated in a recruitment test for the V8 Oval Series in Venray, Netherlands. After both tests proved successful, he was invited to drive full time in both series. In July of 2025, he drove the Monza Formula 1 track for the Italia Legends Series. He also drove at Assen, and at Zandvoort the Dutch Formula 1 track in September of 2025 for the Formula BRL series.

Other Sports Achievements Mike is a member of the Polish National Team and has been traveling with them since 2020 to international wakeboard and wakeskate competitions around the world. In January 2022, Mike reached the ranking of number 1 in the world for Cable Wakeskating via the International Wakeboard and Waterski Federation rankings.[1] He still maintained that number 1 status going into the 2026 season. He is also a sponsored skateboarder and had pro model boards with both Sugar Skateboards and Gringo Skateboards. Today he is a professional rider for HECA Wakeskates [2] and they just released his third pro model board for this third consecutive season with the team. [3]
