Krasonis: “We are very happy, but everything will be decided in the playoffs!”

Thomas Krasonis could not hide his satisfaction after his second victory in the OPEN category in the Most race in the Czech Republic for the NASCAR Euro Series. The 23-year-old driver, wrapped in the blue and white flag, listened to the national anthem blaring from the track’s loudspeakers and, overcome with emotion, said: “It was a very difficult battle, but I have to admit that these are the battles I like. I understand that Martin Doubek may not be very happy today, as he certainly wanted the victory in front of his compatriots. However, I want to tell him that I enjoy our duels on the track and that drivers of his caliber make the Championship very difficult and interesting. It was a difficult race, but I have said before that if you are 100% focused from the first to the last moment, the results will come. The battle with Martin was very clean, and I am sure that we will offer a beautiful spectacle in the upcoming races that will decide the title battle. We are very happy to be leading the standings in the regular season, but everything will be decided in the playoff races, where double points are awarded. I don’t have much to say about the PRO race. The truth is that the damage to our car significantly limited us, but it was crucial to reach the finish line in order to collect as many points as we could. And that’s what we did. So, starting tomorrow, we will turn our attention to the race in Germany.”

He continued: “I would like to warmly thank everyone who supports me. My sponsors, Costamare and Dodoni, my driving mentor Alon Day who watched us from the United States, my trainer Paul Timpas, my family who supports me, and of course my team, PK Carsport, and especially Guenther, my mechanic, because the car they give me to drive every time is… a rocket!”
