NASCAR Euro Series will not return to Raceway Venray next year following the announcement of Venray’s official 2026 event calendar.
Raceway Venray will not be featured in the 2026 NASCAR Euro Series season, as confirmed by the announcement of Venray’s official 2026 event calendar on 30 September 2025.
The calendar featured a schedule of six events held from April to October. NASCAR Euro Series is notably absent from this calendar, with EuroNASCAR’s former late-June dates set to be taken over by the Venray’s local Super Cup National Hotrod series.
Venray was due to be featured in the 2025 NASCAR Euro Series season as part of the NASCAR Oval GP. It was planned to be Venray’s second year on its latest contract, following the track’s return in 2024.
However, complications with FIA international track homologations meant that the track did not have the permit to host the round.
As such, EuroNASCAR was forced to cancel the 2025 NASCAR Oval GP, which was officially announced on 22 May 2025. No rounds were introduced to replace the event, cutting the 2025 calendar from a planned seven round championship to just six.
As of 1 October 2025, three tracks have officially booked their spot in the 2026 EuroNASCAR schedule. Brands Hatch and Autodrom Most will retain their current dates, while Autodromo Vallelunga move dates to September.
Motorsport Arena Oschersleben is also seemingly set to leave the EuroNASCAR calendar in 2026 after the German track described the 2025 running of NASCAR GP Germany as a “magnificent finale” to mark “the end of a three-year era” with the sport.
