Experienced EuroNASCAR OPEN driver Arianna Casoli returns to SpeedHouse in 2025 for her tenth season in the sport.
Popular veteran driver Arianna Casoli is set for her tenth season in the NASCAR Euro Series. Casoli’s 2025 participation was announced on 14 March 2025, which saw the Italian confirming her return to SpeedHouse.
Casoli aims to follow upon a season full of groundbreaking achievements in 2024. The 51-year old became the first EuroNASCAR OPEN driver to start 100 races. It was a feat that she achieved during EuroNASCAR’s visit to Oschersleben last September.
She joins an exclusive class of drivers who have reached the triple digit mark for starts in a single division. Only Frederic Gabillon and Gianmarco Ercoli have gone beyond Casoli’s current mark of 103 and both did so in EuroNASCAR PRO, the championship’s top division.
She also became the first female driver to ever compete in NASCAR Brasil Series. Casoli raced in the season finale at Cristais, where she finished 12th on her debut.
The year was capped with another overall win in the Lady Trophy, her fifth in total. She finished 19th in the overall standings with a 100% finishing rate.
A goal to win her sixth Lady Trophy will be in the cards for Casoli in 2025, but the driver from Reggio Emilia is focusing more on race-to-race improvements.
“What can I say? I’ve been a part of the NASCAR Euro Series since 2016 and the upcoming season will be my fourth with Speedhouse Racing,” said Casoli to nascar.eu.
“It all started with the goal of racing and trying a new experience. It was a challenge to myself. I should be used to it by now, but it still feels like the first day of school.”
“Like the previous seasons, I’m trying to pick up where I left off. My goal is to continue to improve my performance and my approach. I want to be better in qualifying, especially after showing clear improvements in my race pace.”
Casoli joins the ever-growing cast of drivers that Lucas Lasserre has signed for SpeedHouse. Lasserre retained the services of Florian Richard and Ulysse Delsaux while also securing a marquee signing in Vladimiros Tziortzis.
Lasserre regards Casoli as the driver that best exemplified his team’s motto of “racing, style and good times” and was therefore happy to see Casoli return to the No. 14 squad for 2025.
“Arianna knows Speedhouse very well,” said the Frenchman. “It’s her home when it comes to racing.”
“This will be our fourth season together and I couldn’t be happier. Since she joined the team in 2022, we have worked together on many aspects of her driving and have had very positive results. You can see that in her lap times.”
“This season we will try to raise the bar even higher. Arianna brings all her EuroNASCAR experience to the team and also her smile, which is perfect for our great atmosphere.”
“I will be coaching Ary personally to help her achieve her goals. The values of SpeedHouse Racing – racing, style and good times – are a perfect match for Arianna. Ary, you are SpeedHouse!”
