Lady Trophy leader Beitske Visser is set to join Team Bleekemolen for the 2026 EuroNASCAR Playoffs rounds at Vallelunga and Zolder.
A new environment awaits Beitske Visser when she returns to the track for the first round of the EuroNASCAR Playoffs at Autodromo Vallelunga on 19-20 September 2026.
Visser will be making the jump to Team Bleekemolen for the Playoffs, where she’s set to partner Vinnie Meskelis in the No. 76 HSU.nl Toyota Camry.
Visser’s move to Team Bleekemolen came as a result of her initial contract with Bremotion, where it is revealed that she was signed for only the regular season.
However, her quick adaptation to the EuroNASCAR stock cars and current status as the Lady Trophy leader allowed her main sponsor BS+COMPETITION to commit Visser into a proper full-season campaign.
“The NASCAR Euro Series regular season was supposed to be an eight-race audition. Instead, Beitske Visser turned it into a title hunt,” wrote NASCAR Euro Series in its official announcement.
“Now, with the Playoffs looming and double points on the line, the Dutch road-course ace has made a blockbuster garage switch. Visser is parting ways with Bremotion x Rehberg Racing and strapping into Team Bleekemolen equipment for the final two-stop push to settle the Lady Trophy title fight.”
Visser has secured stellar results in her first stock car racing season. The star of the now-defunct W Series championship scored two top-10 finishes and took home three Lady Trophy wins during the regular season.
Some of her highlights include her brave attempt to complete her debut race at Valencia with no power steering and finishing sixth in Race 2 at Paul Ricard, just seven seconds behind race winner Raphael Lessard.
The 31-year old is currently 12th in the standings, tied in points with Florian Richard but ahead on the tiebreaker due to a better best finish result.
She holds a 21 point lead in the Lady Trophy to her closest contender Vanessa “Happinessa” Neumann, who is currently 15th overall.
“After getting a taste of NASCAR racing, I definitely wanted to finish the season and continue fighting for the Lady Trophy,” said Visser to nascar.eu.
“Moving to Team Bleekemolen for the Playoffs feels like a very natural next step. As a Dutch driver, joining a Dutch team makes it even more special, and I’m excited to see what we can achieve together in Vallelunga and Zolder.”
Visser will be the third driver to race the No. 76 Toyota in the EuroNASCAR OPEN division. Michael Bleekemolen raced the No. 76 Toyota in the first two rounds before granddaughter Robin Bleekemolen replaced him at Brands Hatch and Most.
Robin will not be returning for the rest of the season after Team Bleekemolen announced that she will be focusing on her previous commitments in the karting championship that she competes in.
Michael moved to EuroNASCAR V8GP for the NASCAR GP Czech Republic, where he partnered Sandro Tavartkiladze in the No. 72 Wissol Toyota. It is currently unknown if he will stay in the seat for the next round in Vallelunga.
