Campagnano di Roma, RM – One constant thread ran through the entire weekend of the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series at the Vallelunga circuit: Vittorio Ghirelli. The PK Carsport driver dominated all scheduled sessions, consistently setting the fastest times whenever he was on the track.
First in both free practice sessions, Ghirelli also secured pole position with a perfect lap, outpacing the closest competitor by over six-tenths of a second. The races further confirmed the superiority of the Fasano driver, who this season has already won three out of four races. He claimed two more commanding victories, further extending his lead in the EuroNASCAR PRO championship standings.
“A simply perfect weekend! We leave Vallelunga undefeated in every session; not even the rain that fell between Q1 and Superpole, which mixed things up a bit, could stop us. The PK Carsport team did an extraordinary job at every moment, and my #24 was simply perfect every time, as the results show,” commented Ghirelli. After two events, he already has a 27-point lead over the nearest rival, thanks to three victories and a second-place finish in four races. “The race didn’t change much either; after the restart following the safety car in Saturday’s race, we hesitated for a moment but then regained our rhythm and pulled away, managing the gap to our competitors. Having such a weekend in front of your home crowd, with all your friends and sponsors at the track, is simply priceless. It was fantastic, and I want to dedicate this result to them: to those who have always supported me and made all this possible.”
After the Italian round, EuroNASCAR now moves to England on the historic Brands Hatch circuit: “I can’t wait to get back in the car and continue this momentum. My Camaro is wonderful to drive, a testament to PK Carsport’s excellent work. In front of the 50,000 at Brands Hatch, I want to keep extending my championship lead!”
The American Fest at Brands Hatch is now an iconic and regular event for all fans of the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series. The 2024 edition is scheduled for the weekend of June 7 and 8.
