Vladimiros Tziortzis has earned NASCAR’s approval to race in the United States after he was declared to be eligible to compete in road courses and oval tracks up to one mile in length.

Vladimiros Tziortzis will be able to race in the United States in the near future after he received NASCAR’s approval to race in selected track categories on the NASCAR Xfinity Series, the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and the ARCA Menards Series.

First reported by Cyprus Mail on 15 February, it represents a great step forward for Tziortzis, who has made a stunning impression in the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series ever since he made his debut in 2020.

Tziortzis has made it clear that he is working on possible opportunities to race in the United States to accompany his upcoming EuroNASCAR PRO campaign with Academy Motorsport, stating that there will be “more news” coming.

“Another dream and goal is coming true and I am proud to be approved for those three championships and more specifically on oval tracks up to one mile and for road course races in NASCAR Xfinity Series/Trucks Series and ARCA Menards Series,” said Tziortzis to Cyprus Mail.

“I say thanks to them but also to the whole EuroNASCAR organization for generating such opportunities for its drivers on their way to the USA, and soon we will be able to announce more news.”

EuroNASCAR’s founder, President and CEO Jerome Galpin expressed his happiness of Tziortzis being eligible to race in the United States. Galpin promises that the EuroNASCAR family will be giving their support to the Cypriot for his US endeavors.

“We are very proud to see what Vladimiros has achieved since he turned his focus to EuroNASCAR in 2020 thanks to our Driver Recruitment Program,” said Galpin. “He is now one of the best NASCAR drivers in Europe and will be for sure a contender in the 2024 European NASCAR title.” 

“He also carries with him great support and enthusiasm from the whole of Cyprus. We are very happy to support him in discovering NASCAR USA and to find him the best opportunities to race in America.”

Tziortzis also used the opportunity to announce his continued partnership with Japanese oil company ENEOS and Cypriot auto part supplier Psaltis Auto Parts, who will once again sponsor the 26-year old for the upcoming 2024 EuroNASCAR season.

ENEOS and Psaltis Auto Parts will join ALCO Filters, who had previously announced their intent to continue sponsor Tziortzis.

“We have believed in Vladimiros for many years now, and we are pleased to renew our collaboration with him for a seventh year in a row. We will stand proudly next to his plans,” said Iacovos Hagop Demirdjian from ENEOS.
