Krasonis: “We never give up…”
Although the three days of racing at Brands Hatch didn’t turn out the way he wanted, Thomas Krasonis never gave up and was vindicated. A podium in Sunday’s OPEN race was exactly what he needed before the summer holidays, and ahead of what is expected to be an impressive season finale!
“The truth is that luck was not on our side at Brands Hatch on Saturday. Nothing went as we had planned and as we wanted it to, with the consequence that we were unable to continue the winning streak we had built up in the first races of the season. But there are such things as that in racing. It’s just that sometimes things go wrong, as it happened to us on Saturday,” Thomas Crasonis said, adding: “All these years in the NASCAR Euro Series we have learned to never give up. That’s what we did at Brands Hatch and we were vindicated by the result of Sunday’s OPEN race. It was a very important podium, especially because of the conditions under which it came. Stability is key.”
Crasonis made it clear that “already Brands Hatch is a thing of the past. After the cancellation of the Dutch race, we have more than two months to go until the next race, at Most in the Czech Republic. We’ll recharge the batteries by taking a few days off and keep going strong, because there’s no room for relaxation. Our goal is to go into the playoffs as high in the standings as possible and to do that we need to stay totally focused. We are now out of Joker’s, so we need to finish as high as possible in Most!”
He concluded: “I want to once again thank my sponsors, Costamare and Dodoni, the Medical Centre for providing me with medical services, my team PK Carsport, my coach Alon Day, Paul Tyba who is responsible for my physical condition and of course all my mechanics.”
The next NASCAR Euro Series race is scheduled for the weekend of 29-31 August at the Autodrom Most in the Czech Republic.
