Stephen Kopcik (born March 24, 1998) is an American professional stock car racing driver who competes part-time in the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour, driving the No. 21 for Wanick Motorsports. Kopcik was the 2015 SK Light Modified champion at Stafford Motor Speedway, where he also has numerous SK Modified wins.
On February 29, 2024, Kopcik was indefinitely suspended by NASCAR due to Kopcik being arrested six days prior at a minor league hockey game in Danbury, Connecticut, in which he was charged with two counts of assault in the third degree with physical injury and one count of reach of peace in the second degree. He was later reinstated two months later on April 30, 2024.
In 2026, Kopcik got his first career win in the Whelen Modified Tour at Martinsville Speedway.
