In 1962, at the age of 14, Sánchez made the decision to move into the Opa-Locka camp that was run by local Catholic charities where he lived until the age of 18. Sánchez was reunited with his brother, parents, and grandmother after they came to Miami via the Freedom Flights in the mid-1960s.
After earning an accounting degree from Florida Atlantic University, he worked in real estate, becoming a land developer and motorsports promoter. He founded and managed the Grand Prix of Miami, beginning in 1983. He founded Homestead-Miami Speedway in the early 1990s.
