NASCAR GP Italy 2023 – All roads lead to Rome for Thomas Krasonis
After the first two rounds of the 2023 EuroNASCAR season, Thomas Krasonis and Marko Stipp Motorsport go to the Vallelunga Circuit.
Situated near Rome, the 4,085 km-track is a unique challenge for the big NASCAR cars – especially on the last 5 turns, on the most technical and slow part of the circuit.
‘I have raced at Vallelunga in the past, and recently I tested there with my car, so I can say that I know it pretty well. I feel comfortable driving in it,’ said Krasonis.
This is the venue in which he achieved his first podium in the series last year, when he was 3rd in the Junior category of the EuroNASCAR PRO championship.
The schedule for the race weekend (Local Italian Time):
Saturday, July 8
Qualifying – 09:50
Race 1 – 13:20
Sunday, July 9
Race 2 – 13:35

NASCAR GP UK 2023: Next stop – Brands Hatch!
The 2023 NASCAR Euro Whelen Series continues this weekend at the Brands Hatch circuit, and Thomas Krasonis will be competing in the EuroNASCAR PRO category, with Marko Stipp Motorsport.
It’s been a lengthy break between the opening race weekend in Valencia to this coming weekend in England, West Kingsdown.
The 1.944 km circuit is the Indy version of Brands Hatch. Situated in the southeast of England, it offers a unique challenge for the monstrous NASCAR machines, with just 6 corners, all but one being right handers.
After the first two races of the season, Thomas Krasonis is at the P11 in the standings, after his impressive podium finish in the Junior category of EuroNASCAR PRO.
‘Brands Hatch is definitely the most exciting race for me personally,’ said Thomas.
‘For one, it’s my favorite circuit on the calendar, and secondly, I have had my best ever finish in the series there. Therefore I am looking forward to race again in British ground in a high level competition once again.’
Saturday, June 17
Qualifying: 9:50 CEST
Race 1: 13:50 CEST
Sunday, June 18
Race 2: 14:00 CEST
