Having already put the two wins in Valencia in the season opener behind him, Thomas Krasonis has been preparing intensively for the second race of the year, both in the gym, under the guidance of Paul Tymbas, and on the track. Last week the Greek driver was in Vallelunga where he spent a day testing his race car, with his coach, Alon Day, at his side.

“The race weekend in Valencia is a thing of the past. From the day after the race onwards, we focused on preparing for the Valelunga race, which is one of the most demanding in the Championship. This is because, in addition to the particularities of this particular track, Vallelunga is a home race for many of my teammates, so they know the secrets of this particular track very well”, the Greek driver stresses.

He adds: “Last week Alon and I were in Italy last week and we were testing with the team. I did a lot of kilometres on the track and I definitely gained a lot of experience ahead of the race, working a lot on the set-up of the car with the engineers. I think we are at a very good level and we are ready to give it our all. As I said before the Valencia race, our task is difficult, but the objective is clear. There is a five-year plan underway, at the end of which we want to be in the United States and the NASCAR Cup Series. We are going strong and we want to pick up points that will take us into the play-offs to challenge for the titles.”

He concluded: “I want to thank everyone who is with me in this effort. First and foremost my sponsors, Costamare Shipping Company and Dodoni Dairy, who are making a great contribution to ensure that this journey continues to be a success. The Athens Medical Group for their continuous medical support before and after each race. And of course the Antenna Group, who brings the action from all the NASCAR Euro Series races to every home.”
