EuroNASCAR revealed an Entry List of 54 drivers and 26 teams across all classes for the 2025 NASCAR Euro Series Finals at Circuit Zolder.
NASCAR Euro Series officially announced the Entry List for the 2025 EuroNASCAR Finals on 6 October 2025. 58 drivers and 26 teams will compete in the deciding round for all three classes at Circuit Zolder.
While the number of teams have stayed from the previous round at Oschersleben, there have been some notable changes.
Kenko Miura’s Team Japan Needs24 chose to not make a further return, but in their place is the addition of SpeedHouse Racing’s fourth team, the No. 20 Ford Mustang.
SpeedHouse last raced as a four-car team during the 2022 finale at Rijeka, having alternated between a three- and two-car team in the years since.
SpeedHouse will also field the two-seater No. 17 Rookie Challenge car at Zolder. The car will be driven by Rookie Challenge regular Daniel Boys.
It meant that the No. 17 team is set to be entered by three teams in as many rounds. Hendriks Motorsport and CAAL Racing had their turns in fielding the ride for Most and Oschersleben respectively.
Changes will also occur at Team Georgia, who will have the support of Marko Stipp Motorsport once again.
The Georgian duo of Davit Kajaia and Sandro Tavartkiladze will therefore bookend their season with MSM. They started their season with the German team before parting ways and forming their own entry under support from RDV Competition starting from the second round at Vallelunga.
Ryan Vargas headlined the driver changes across both EuroNASCAR PRO and EuroNASCAR OPEN.
Fresh off from a successful NASCAR Canada campaign with DJK Racing, the 25-year old American will make his EuroNASCAR return onboard Marko Stipp Motorsport’s No. 48 Chevrolet Camaro.
Vargas will be joined by Yevgen Sokolovskiy, who finally makes his return to MSM. The Ukrainian is set to race the No. 46 Chevrolet Camaro in EuroNASCAR PRO.
Sokolovskiy was scheduled to compete at Oschersleben, but didn’t turn a single lap. MSM revealed on 6 October that “personal reasons” had been the cause of Sokolovskiy’s last-minute withdrawal.
Federico Monti returns to the driver’s seat for the No. 1 IceFactory Europe Ford Mustang at Academy Motorsport. Countryman Max Lanza also returns to CAAL Racing, driving the No. 75 Chevrolet that Raphaël Lessard had raced in Germany.
Lessard will not compete in Belgium, as did 2022 runner-up Alexander Graff, Michal Makeš and Giovanni Faraonio.
The 2025 EuroNASCAR Finals will mark the debut of North Macedonia driver and three-time European Hillclimb champion Igor Stefanovski onboard SpeedHouse’s No. 20 team in EuroNASCAR PRO.
Stefanovski makes history as the first Macedonian driver to compete in the sport. The driver from Skopje is also the first Macedonian to test an EuroNASCAR stock car, having done so in the 2020 Drivers Recruitment Program tests at Fontenay.
Stefanovski is joined in the list of debutants by 17-year old British upstart Chase Fernandez. Fernandez will race the No. 76 Team Bleekemolen Toyota Camry, replacing Makeš in the EuroNASCAR PRO seat.
Fernandez won one race in the 2025 British F4 season with Xcel Motorsport, but problems with consistency left him 13th in the final standings. He finished second in Ginetta Juniors the previous year, losing the title to Ethan Jeff-Hall by a mere 17 points.
Like Stefanovski, Fernandez had also tested the EuroNASCAR cars before. He was one of the participants of the 2025 Drivers Recruitment Program, which took place before the start of his British F4 campaign.
22 drivers are set to compete in EuroNASCAR OPEN, but this sadly does not include Jordan O’Brien. The American sensation was unable to gather the funds needed for one last ride in the 2025 season.
In his place is Francesco Leogrande, who will make his series debut with Club Competition. At 66 years old, Leogrande is still performing at a high level in Italian hillclimbs with his Osella PA21.
Despite O’Brien’s absence, an American will be in the grid for EuroNASCAR OPEN. Nick Strickler will make a one-off return with Lux Motorsport, marking his return after a year away.
Reza Sardeha and Davide Frulio also made their returns to EuroNASCAR OPEN for this weekend. Sardeha joins Vargas at MSM, while Frulio partners Lanza once again at CAAL.
Neither Loris Cencetti and Gordon Barnes appeared in the Entry List, while Mike Wise chose to put his focus in Rookie Challenge instead.
Wise joins a cast of 21 drivers for Rookie Challenge. It set a new record for EuroNASCAR’s regularity-based division, breaking the previous record of 20 set in Oschersleben.
Out of the 21, 17 are listed to compete for championship points, which also set a new record after 14 were registered for Oschersleben.
Two debutants from Germany make their returns at Zolder: Thomas Pourrain and Jonathan Meyer. Pourrain has transferred rides to the No. 46 car, as the No. 48 that he drove at Oschersleben will be driven by Sardeha instead.
Also joining the list of “transfers” is Daniil Shapka, who will race the No. 20 SpeedHouse Camaro. Fernandez will compete in the No. 76 Toyota that Shapka drove in Germany.
Fernandez and Italian rally driver Alessandro Amedei are the two competitors that will make their debut in Rookie Challenge this weekend. Amedei is set to join Club Competition with their No. 22 Camaro.
