NASCAR Whelen Euro Series - First stop: Valencia

Apr 122018

The 2018 NASCAR Whelen Euro Series season will kick off in Valencia; Spain this weekend, a new challenge for two time European Champion Anthony Kumpen to prove why he's still seen as the top dog on European level. 

The NASCAR Whelen Euro Series continues to gain popularity, both among the drivers and the teams. At the opening weekend of the 2018 season, which takes place this weekend in Valencia, no less than 31 cars are starting, the biggest starting grid so far. No less than 20 teams and 52 riders signed up for this year, representing 18 countries.

After months of hard labour in his garage, Anthony Kumpen looks forward with a lot of confidence to the first real test of the year, the Grand Prix of Valencia. 

The Elite 1 starting list never looked as strong as this season. Anthony Kumpen can expect strong competition from several names like reigning champion Alon Day, Lucas Lasserre, Wilfried Boucenna, Thomas Ferrando, Frederic Gabillon, Borja Garcia, Romain Iannetta and Gianmarco Ercoli. 

He also expects a lot from living NASCAR legend Bobby Labonte, who is coming to Europe this year to compete a full season of the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series. Loris Hezemans and the French endurance specialist Julien Schell are also among the newcomers.

But Anthony is full of confidence and is looking forward to show each and everyone the progress he and his team made during the winter break.
