EuroNASCAR OPEN – Fastest Lap Scorer by Age
The all-time table for the youngest and oldest fastest lap scorers in EuroNASCAR’s second division, EuroNASCAR OPEN.
Having the fastest car is often the key to winning in the NASCAR Euro Series. A clear indication of a machine’s speed is its ability to set the fastest lap time during a race.
A total of 46 different drivers and 24 different teams have secured the Fastest Lap award since the first season under official NASCAR sanctioning in 2012.
Listed below are the all-time table for EuroNASCAR OPEN’s youngest and oldest fastest lap scorers. The list excludes races that are not considered as part of the official championship calendar, such as the 2012 exhibition race at Tours and the two Trofeo Angelo Caffi tournaments.
NOTE : The list shown below are correct as of the end of the 2024 EuroNASCAR Finals at Circuit Zolder. Drivers shown in “bold” are drivers that have competed in at least one (1) EuroNASCAR OPEN race of the 2024 NASCAR Whelen Euro Series season.
NOTE 2 : For Race 2 of the 2012 Spa 200, there was no reputable data found on who scored the Fastest Lap. Therefore, the driver and team that scored the Fastest Lap in that race is currently listed as “Unknown”.
NOTE 3 : Two drivers are currently excluded because their birthday dates cannot be properly verified: Bart van Haeren and Jack Davidson. The tables will be adjusted when verifiable data of their birthday dates becomes known.
