NASCAR GP Spain 2023: Debut for Thomas Krasonis with Marko Stipp Motorsport
The 2023 NASCAR Whelen Euro Series begins this weekend at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia, and Thomas Krasonis will start his second season in the EuroNASCAR Pro category, with Marko Stipp Motorsport.
It’s been a long time coming for this return in the racing bucket for Thomas. After a very positive test session in Germany a couple of weeks ago, the Marko Stipp Motorsport driver is ready to tackle the first round of the 2023 season, in Valencia.
It’s a track Thomas knows very well, having raced there previously in 2019, 2021 and 2022.
This will be the second season in the Elite 1 category of the series for Krasonis.
”Testing went well, as we prepared for the new season and learnt some new things on the car,” said Thomas. ”Now, I feel ready to face this new, exciting challenge of driving on the top category of the championship, and score some big points inside the top 10.”
The 4.005 km circuit in the southeast of Spain offers a good mix of slow, tight corners, and more fast kinks that pose a challenge for the drivers, especially when driving these beasts that the NASCAR cars are.
The schedule of the weekend is as follows:
Saturday, May 6
Qualifying: 9:50 CEST
Race 1: 13:30
Sunday, May 7
Race 2: 14:05 CEST
