Nelson Canache Jr. (born March 16, 1978) is a Venezuelan professional auto racing driver who has previously competed in the ARCA Racing Series, the American Le Mans Series, and the Rolex Grand Am Sports Car Series.
In 2012, Canache raced full time in the ARCA Racing Series for Venturini Motorsports, primarily driving the No. 35 Chevrolet/Toyota, although he drove the Nos. 15 and 66 so select events.[1] He had two top-ten finishes, a seventh place at Chicagoland Speedway after starting third, and a tenth-place finish at the second Pocono Raceway on his way to finish eighth in the final points standings.

It was also during this year that he, alongside David Donohue, Shane Lewis, and Jim Norman won the 24 Hours of Daytona in the GX class for Napleton Racing.[2]
