A Brief History and Checkup on NASCAR's International Series 

Sadly a NASCAR Mexico series driver died in crash in 2009 at Puebla. R.I.P

Fun fact: one of the competitors in the 2018 Euro NASCAR season was former cyclist Tom Boonen, a Belgian rider who during his career won Paris-Roubaix four times, was the World Road Race champion in 2005 and won six stages of the Tour de France, alongside many other accomplishments. He competed in the Elite 2 category and finished the season in 13th, finishing all but one race with a best result of 10th, which he achieved twice.

NASCAR Brasil is a really fun championship to watch. I was the italian commentator in 2021 and now I'm really proud to say that in Brazil they are doing a great job

A small curiosity: Nascar Brasil CEO Thiago Marques said that the negotiations for a rebranding with Nascar was under negotiations since 2021, and then Nascar crew went to Brasil to know more about the car and the Championship and decided that the series was getting under the Nascar brand and keep the car the way it was, liking it enough to not needing to change for a European or mexican style. I really Hope over the years nascar brasil become the main International Nascar series.

The pintys series Canadian tire finishes are underrated

The Pinty's Series is so underrated they gave us talents in NASCAR like Alex Labbé definitely deserves better rides then DGM he deserves it and I loved when Austin Cindric shouted him out in the booth like I think it was either Sonoma or Cota in Xfinity saying he's his hero his idol Which that's a call to arms give Labbé a top tier ride plz!

I never miss a EuroNascar race, you can watch them live on RU-vid mostly early on Saturday and Sunday. Why you may ask? Because I love Alberto Naska and with the accent most of the onscreen personalities have you can never be sure when they're saying Naska or NASCAR. Go Naska Go. The Italian Stallion of Euro NASCAR

Few things you kinda missed about EuroNASCAR, as I would like to call it that : - Some if not most of the cars (not drivers) in the field are doing double duties in EN PRO and EN2 as teams cannot afford to operate two separate cars for both classes, so as long as the cars not bent very much they can be used straight away with fixes allowed between both classes' races in the same day (EDIT : It has also been confirmed that the "single car for both classes" thing are a way to cut costs to help maintain the healthy grid, which is highly encouraged by the series). - 2019 marked the last time the series had an oval round, which was held at Raceway Venray in Netherlands (which was also the only the 2nd time the track hosted EuroNASCAR, the first one was in 2017). Previously after the NASCAR partnership has been completed the series had at least one oval race every year at Tours Speedway in France which was a makeshift oval built on a supermarket parking lot. They planned to return to Venray but 2020 happened and the series never had any oval races since to this day to the disappointment of long time fans (they actually attempted to have a non-championship race on ice this year but it's subsequently cancelled) EDIT : Talks have been ongoing for the series to return to Venray as soon as 2024, so fingers crossed it will happen soon.

Fun fact: the modified series is actually older than the cup series. However, the cup series became the premier series as big bill wanted that

I’d love to see an all star race with the best drivers from every international series!

9:03 minor correction: Garcia won his 4th title last year, becoming the driver with the most titles in the series history Another fun fact about NASCAR Mexico Series: they actually have a time limit for their races (100 minutes); if a race seems to not reach the scheduled amount of laps before the 100 minute mark, they will finish the race by time rather than by laps

The issue with me following the southern series is the language barrier, they don't broadcast either series in English, I just checked

I went to a NASCAR Whelen euro series weekend event at Hockenheimring in Germany in 2019. Myatt Snider actually competed in the euro series back in 2019 and I got to meet him in Germany as well and he has competed in the truck and Xfinity series with an Xfinity win.

I saw the Mexico series on TV while I was in Mexico. Its a pretty short schedule but I may try to time my next trip with a race that was being hosted in the same area I was staying at.

Holy cow! NASCAR should be paying you for this video. They're a huge brand, but you just grew it more for them. Haven't heard of most of this. Thanks for this video. Real meat! ~ E. Coli

The Brazil race at Goiania Oval will be run in a clockwise direction, so pretty much any oval setup will be reversed or thrown out entirely.

Pintys is iconic. Those car bodies are so hot

You should've mentioned alberto naska. He basically makes euronascar 2 the more popular of the divisions in euronascar due to his youtube popularity

Ayyy great to see the attention towards Pinty's! I haven't had as much time to cover the series this year as I did last year, so it's great to see it being discussed by others! It truly does deserve more and it's been getting steadily better and better every year. Higher car counts, more races, etc. Things that the series lacked for a while after the NASCAR purchase. With a new NASCAR Canada GM in Tony Spiteri (hired October 2022), he's done wonders for us thus far. He's been part of Canadian motorsports for decades and he helped bring Pinty's into the series. Built off a successful 2022 season with an even better one this year. A record 14-race schedule, gave Ohsweken (dirt) a double-header, kept the series in Newfoundland, etc. Although Treyten Lapcevich has dominated, there's been many storylines throughout the field and every race has been a case of "too much to talk about." Put "even better" in all caps for 2024. There's been many rumors of more full-time commitments and a larger schedule (a return to a former oval and an additional dirt track). Exciting times up here in Canada!

It's just so sad that there aren't ovals in the Nascar Euro series

Loved this video. You should do a video on dome of the extinct series nascar had

I didn’t know about the brazil sprint race until I saw the thumbnail of this video

I'm a Canadian NASCAR fan, and I didn't know about the Pinty's Series until recently. Side note, guess who's going on vacation to see their first ever NASCAR race, at the Pinty's Series race this week?

This is an awesome video. I've always know about these series existing but never knew much about them or how to watch them. Definitely gonna have to check out a few races this year

Proud to say we have a friend that raced in the Euro Series. Ryan Vargas 😎

Thankyou for making this, I am a new fan and did not even realize there were other nascar running internationally! Daniel Suarez and Shane Van Gisburg are the only foreign drivers I know, and they’re excellent

Drivers of NASCAR Mexico are driving in NASCAR's Driving for diversity. Andrés Perez de Lara is one of the protagonists of ARCA. This year, NASCAR Mexico raced the NASCAR Clash at the LA Colosseum.

I love the pintys series been to a race myself and going again this year I wish it got more recognition

I'm Brazilian and I've been following the NASCAR Brasil Sprint Race since 2021, it's growing more and more, and this year in Cascavel - Paraná, there will be a 100-mile race, for now the longest race they will do.

17:19 best livery ever and the CoT wing on the back is just the cherry on top lmao.

These other divisions honestly are so great, it’s a shame not many people know about them. The Pintys Series is my home series. I was there in person at the race when Andrew Ranger won with the RWR Dodge at Delaware!

The Pintys Series and Mexico series have had races in the US! Pinty's at Loudon and Mexico at Vegas.

Makes me wonder why these other branches of Nascar don’t get as much recognition.

Loved the video, specially seeing the nascar brasil sprint race series mentioned, but I gotta say, you're portuguese pronunciation could use a bit of work lol

Fun Fact: EuroNASCAR once had a 4-day race weekend in 2020.

there used to be two other international series named AUSCAR and the other series is the australian nascar series which AUSCAR bring run with ford falcon and holden commadores

The 4 active NASCAR series that no one talks about...in the US at least. But The Most Ever. #NASCARInternationalSeries

While not a stock car series, the NASCAR-owned IMSA sports car racing series races on a timed basis including the 24 hours of Daytona.

I went to the races in Mexico City in 2013 and 2014 but I was very young so I did not know much of NASCAR at the time.

Best part about the Trucks racing at CTMP was seeing Truck drivers like Christopher Bell, Noah Gragson, Riley Herbst,(who drove a Dodge with JGR font) and Chandler Smith race in the Pinty’s race and seeing Pinty’s drivers like DJ Kennington, Gary Klutt and Alex Tagilani race the Trucks.

Ive heard of the Pinty Whelen Euro and Mexico series but never knew they had a Brasil racing series

Great video! I didn't know about this stuff. Keep it up man. 👍

5:37 that one is the GOAT THE GOAT!!!!!!!!!

The wheelen Euro series is nice. I watched them a few times.

I love the pintys series they need the trucks back at mosport

as brazilian with a nascar series here, i think, i know all nascar series and there americans who know only the main 4 national series.

I think andrew ranger mightve done some indycar sruff. Or maybe indy lights but im notnsure

I’ve been to a euronascar race and it’s awesome! Boy I love Europe.

Props to you, sir :)

Yeah I didn’t even know of the Brazil series.

17:14 yes related to Max Verstappen’s mother for those wondering

Anyone else here after Ryan Vargas announcement?

The Mexico Series going to the LA collesium on the race weekend

Someone who actually knows how to pronounce Whelen?! 😱

As a Canadian I can say that the Pintys series has decent racing but the lack of tracks is awful. The prices are also insane. The Edmonton speedway is the closest one to me and it’s pretty awful and they are charging 70 dollars. It’s already a 3 hour drive from me.

"WOOO NASCAR" - Alex Bowman

Love the videos but your pronunciation of some of these foreign names are quite atrocious 😭😭

I think you entirely forgot to mention the Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series in the intro. And the only one if you dont count ARCA East/West. Just find that funny Maybe a good video topic sometime?

I don't think people forgot about pinty's series but ok

Two gripes one being you coulda added links to the RU-vid channels that broadcast those races and two its am as in amature not A.M.

6:40 that would be the death of Carlos Pardo in 2009

Fun fact about Nascar Brasil is the RU-vidr from Acelerados Gerson Campos (he is from Rubinho Barrichelo Chanel) wins with a Ex member Cassio Cortes in 2018 champ

We got the Pinty's series here..reason noone here watches it or cares is because it's basically the Dodge series,Dodge drivers get extra bonuses which kinda sucks for the majority of race fans that are Ford and Chevy fans yet are shunned by the series.

I wonder if they’ll do an Asia or Australia series

What would it take to get a trophy dash between these four series and competitors from the K&N Pro Series?

The Canadian series is more entertaining than the Cup series...

please correct me if i'm wrong, but I believe NASCAR said they wanted to standardize the ARCA, East, West, Pintys, Mexico and Whelen Euro series cars

Pintys is honestly shit compared to the APC late models, shows how good canadian short track racing is. CASCAR was the golden era ugh miss it.

17:21 ngl right that livery looks like something a 8 year old would make in a racing game's custom livery editor lol.

❤❤❤❤

Australian NASCAR/AUSCAR isn’t there….

idk if there was a connection from NASCAR but I remember there was a asian stock car series that raced in F1 tracks like Bahrain and Abu Dhabi that lasted from 09-10

Pin the raced at NHMS in like 2017

I just have to say, euronascar can be sometimes way better than cup and I am a euronascar fan!

i thought the candian series ran new hampsire every now and then

Am is short for amateur. The a.m. keeps throwing me off lol

i like nascar México Brasil

EuroNascar looks like glorified late models made to turn right also

at this point supercars guys are gunna block any cup series ride lol not complaining, though

Alberto Naska best driver in Whelen EuroNascar 2

I hate this thumbnail so much

Was also nascar racing in Australia from late 1980's to early 2000's en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASCAR_in_Australia
