DRIVERS
Ander Vilariño is the first driver to score a pole position in EuroNASCAR PRO. The Spaniard achieved this feat when he secured first place on the grid for the first EuroNASCAR race under official NASCAR sanctioning at Circuit Paul Armagnac in 2012.
The most recent first-time pole sitter is Thomas Krasonis, who secured his maiden pole position in the 2025 Valencia NASCAR Fest at Circuit Ricardo Tormo.
Israel’s Alon Day currently holds the record for the most pole positions with 37, having passed previous record holder Vilariño with his 25th pole at Hockenheim in 2019.
Vilariño‘s tally of 24 pole positions is still enough to put the Spaniard in second place on the all-time list. Vittorio Ghirelli currently sits in third with 20 pole positions.
