It was the 17th NWES career win for Alon Day and the 7th of his 2018 season, who tied Ander Vilarino’s record for the most wins in a single season.
Day crossed the finish line ahead of Loris Hezemans (#50 Hendriks Motorsport Ford Mustang), who grabbed the second place with a brilliant overtake on Longin in the last lap. Day, who raced two times in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series in the US, was joined by Frederic Gabillon (#3 Tepac RDV Competition Toyota Camry) and Lucas Lasserre (#33 Mavi Mishumotors Chevrolet SS) on the championship podium.
“It feels so amazing,” said the 26-year old Israeli driver. “This car never fails and never disappoints me. The car, the team, they are all unbelievable. I’m speechless. I came back from such a difficult time in the season, but I still managed to win so many races and kept bouncing back. Back-to-back: It’s just amazing.”
Gabillon, who finished fourth in the race, ended up second in the championship. The Frenchman got his third runner-up in the NWES ELITE 1 standings in six NWES seasons. RDV Competition won the 2018 NASCAR Whelen Euro Series Teams Championship thanks to him and Ulysse Delsaux, who won the ELITE 2 title. Gabillon ended up 28 points behind Day in the final standings.
“We had a lot of problems during this weekend,” said Gabillon after the podium ceremony. “We were simply not fast enough. We had a good race yesterday and the race today was quite good. Today I had a bad start and I was not able to make a move. Fighting for the second place was okay, Alon was too fast and too far away. Today was not the day I lost the championship for sure.”
Lasserre, who arrived at Zolder as the points leader but had to retire in the first Final losing his title chances, managed to finish third in the overall standings, an outstanding result for his MIshomotors team. It was an amazing season by Lasserre, who acted as team manager and his own crew chief, the mechanics and team owner Mirco Schultis, who drove the #70 Chevrolet SS at Hockenheim and Zolder.
“10 years after I entered the series I was back again,” said Lasserre, who was satisfied with being third in the 2018 ELITE 1 championship. “I’m back and I managed to finish third after a full season. We have such a little team that has done such a great job. I thank all my mechanics and team owner Mirco. We found very strong mechanics and now we are in a better position for next year. We want to race again next season and go for the championship again.”
Hezemans, who finished second after overtaking Longin in the last lap of the ELITE 1 Final 2, won the Junior Trophy and will get the opportunity to take part in a NASCAR race in the US next season. Thomas Ferrando (#37 Knauf Racing Team Ford Mustang) took the second place in the Junior Trophy with the sixth place under the checkered flag. Gianmarco Ercoli (#9 Racers Motorsport Ford Mustang) completed the Junior Trophy podium.
Longin was third at the finish ahead of Gabillon and Lasserre with another strong performance in his home race weekend at the historic Zolder track. Christophe Bouchut (#66 Dexwet-DF1 Racing Chevrolet Camaro) was seventh behind Ferrando. Newcomer Dylan Derdaele (#78 Braxx Racing Ford Mustang), Wilfried Boucenna (#73 Knauf Racing Team Ford Mustang) and Fabrizio Armetta (#41 The Club Motorsports Ford Mustang), who won the Challenger Trophy in this race, closed the top-10.
Kenko Miura (#2 Alex Caffi Motorsport Toyota Camry), who ended up 15th under the checkered flag, brought home the 2018 Challenger Trophy after an intense season-long battle. He had the better hand on Mauro Trione (#31 Race Art Technology / Blu Motorsport Chevrolet Camaro) and Dario Caso (#8 Racers Motorsport Ford Mustang), who completed the Challenger Trophy top-3.

“It’s unbelievable”, said Delsaux after winning the 2018 ELITE 2 championship. “Before the race I was really stressed. I tried to control my emotions and focus just on the race like always in this amazing season. Many, many thanks to my team: they were incredible, they all did a great job. Also thanks to my family and fans who are always supporting me. I really don’t have the words right now!”
Dumarey, who put up a dominant performance at his hometrack, was able to lead the race flag-to-flag, winning his second race of the season. The Belgian had a technical issue in the first Final but managed to come back to the track and post the fastest lap of the race to start from the pole in Final 2. That proved to be key in today’s strong performance.
“Yesterday was disappointing because of the problem we had,” said the Belgian, who turned 32 two days ago. “But we came back and grabbed the win today. I’m really happy. This weekend we were the quickest and we wanted the win so bad because of the bad luck we had during the whole season. My wife and my little kid are watching at home and cheering for me. The team did a great job and we are happy to win here in front of our home crowd.”

Venturi, who grabbed his first ever NWES win at Brands Hatch in the regular season, made no mistakes, took the lead on lap 4 and won the race with a margin of 2.9 seconds on Delsaux. The 17-year-old Go Fas Racing driver is now chasing Delsaux by only 8 points before the final race of the season and holds a big advantage in the Rookie Cup.
“I’m so happy, but the championship is not over yet,” said Venturi, who earned Go Fas Racing’s first Euro NASCAR win at Brands Hatch in June. “I am totally focused on tomorrow’s race, because the battle will be decided by that Final. I don’t know what to expect but I want to win it! My big goal is to win the championship.”
In the early stages of the race Wilfried Boucenna (#37 Knauf Racing Team Ford Mustang) took the lead after pole sitter Guillaume Dumarey (#24 PK Carsport Chevrolet Camaro) was forced to the pits at the end of the first lap due to an issue to his #24 PK Carsport Chevrolet Camaro. Dumarey returned to the race five laps down and posted the fastest lap of the race, earning the pole position for Sunday’s ELITE 2 Final 2. Delsaux lost the control of his car in a battle with Venturi for second and was running eleventh after it, but fought his way back to the podium in spectacular fashion, also taking advantage of a caution.
“It was a very tough race, because of the battle with Venturi,” said the Frenchman. “He surprised me with his braking and so I spun when I was trying to overtake him. I don’t really know if we touched. After that I focused on recovering and to gain back as many positions as possible. I’m very happy for getting back on the podium after this accident and tomorrow I want to win the title.”
Kenko Miura (#2 Alex Caffi Motorsport Ford Mustang) grabbed the first NASCAR Whelen Euro Series podium of his career by finishing third. The Japanese driver perfectly carved his way in a chaotic finish and crossed the finish line behind Delsaux.
“It was a really crazy race”, said the Alex Caffi Motorsport driver after stepping down from his first podium. “The car was very good, thanks to my team. I was always looking for a chance to overtake the driver ahead of me. It worked out and I’m really happy to be on the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series podium for the first time in my career!”
The finish was dramatic for championship leader Guillaume Deflandre (#77 Memphis Racing Chevrolet Camaro). The Belgian pulled off the the track due to an issue with the #77 Chevrolet Camaro while he was running second and saw his title aspirations evaporate in the blink of an eye. Deflandre has now to hope for a mistake by the drivers who are in front of him in the overall standings to have a shot at the 2018 NWES title.
Gil Linster (#44 CAAL Racing Toyota Camry) ended up fourth, recording his second top-5 of the year ahead of Wilfried Boucenna, who had to serve a drive through penalty for a starting procedure infringement while he was leading the race.

Arianna Casoli (#54 CAAL Racing Toyota Camry) won the Lady Cup by finishing 13th, making Sunday’s race decisive for the Cup’s final classification.
After a contact with Maciej Dreszer (#56 CAAL Racing Toyota Camry) Felipe Rabello (#11 PK Carsport Chevrolet Camaro) crashed hard into the tire barrier at the start-finish straight.

One race can change everything: Alon Day (#54 CAAL Racing Toyota Camry) jumped back on top of the ELITE 1 standings after winning the first Euro NASCAR Final at the iconic Circuit Zolder. The Israeli prevailed at the end of an intense battle against 2016 ELITE 2 Champion Stienes Longin (#11 PK Carsport Chevrolet Camaro), who finished second by 1.048 seconds.

Frederic Gabillon (#3 Tepac RDV Competition Toyota Camry) kept his title run alive by finishing third while Lucas Lasserre (#33 Mavi Mishumotors Chevrolet SS) and Loris Hezemans (#50 Hendriks Motorsport Ford Mustang) both took a big hit by being forced to retire when running in the top-5.
Day overtook Longin 12 laps into the 16-lap race after surrendering the lead to the Belgian at the first corner. The Israeli had then to defend his first place from the return of Longin, who put a lot of pressure on the defending champion. Day was able to sustain the pressure and grabbed the checkered flag.
“I don’t have words,” said Day after the intense duel with Longin. “It’s crazy winning this race. It was the fairest fight I’ve ever had and it was so much fun to drive. I knew that I was in a good position for the championship as Stienes is not part of the battle, but he was so quick and drove so good. He’s definitely going to be a contender next year. It’s nice to see drivers coming from ELITE 2 stepping up this way. I hope to start the next race well and keep the lead. It’s not gonna be easy as Stienes will start next to me but I will do my best.”
Longin, who was ninth in the overall standings before the first Final, led his first laps in ELITE 1 in what was arguably his best race in the top division.
“It was an awesome race,” said Longin, who finished second in front of his home crowd. “I overtook Alon at the start on the outside and grabbed the lead. After that he was pushing really hard. Later on he was just a little bit stronger and faster than me. It was not much but he was better. I’m a really happy with the race.”
Gabillon finished third after climbing his way up the ranking from the 5th place on the grid. The Frenchman moved up to second after the DNFs of Lasserre and Hezemans. Gabillon have has now to gain 14 points on Day in the ELITE 1 Final on Sunday.
“Alon took 12 points, so I’m 14 points behind now,” said Gabillon, who is motivated to get his first ever NASCAR Whelen Euro Series title on Sunday. “I have to win tomorrow. We will see what will happen but today it was a tough day for me. Something broke with 10 laps to go. I was scared to have to retire, too. I’m sorry for Loris, who broke something on the back of his car, and Lucas. Everything can happen here. For us, it’s not too bad of course.”
Lucas Lasserre had to retire due to a problem with his brakes. “I’m so disappointed and I don’t know what to say,” said Lasserre after the race. “I tried to pump the pedal to get the pressure back, but there was nothing I could do. It’s a shame to lose our chances like this.”
Hezemans suffered a mechanical problem and had to come back to the pits on lap 9.
Alexander Graff (#77 Memphis Racing Chevrolet Camaro) ended up fourth, collecting his best result in his NWES debut season so far. Nicolò Rocca (#56 CAAL Racing Toyota Camry) won the Junior Trophy by rounding out the top-5 ahead of Thomas Ferrando (#37 Knauf Racing Team Ford Mustang).

Toyota driver Sheldon Creed captured the ARCA Racing Series championship at Kansas Speedway when he made his first lap in practice ahead of the season finale event on Friday, October 19. Creed went on to capture his fourth win in 2018, closing out a banner year in his first full-time season.
“I thought we were out of it there and then a couple of other fast cars fell out,” said Creed post-race. “I got a good restart there at the end that kind of gave us control and then the guys tightened up the car there when I got tires there at the end. What a rocket ship that was. That was really fast at the end.”
A native of Alpine, California, Creed tallied a season-high 18 top-10 finishes in 20 events and won four races this season. Creed becomes the third Toyota driver to capture a driver’s championship this season as CJ Greaves (Lucas Oil Midwest Short Course League Pro 4) and Tyler Ankrum (NASCAR K&N Pro Series East) each captured their respective series titles.
“Sheldon is another talented young racer we’re fortunate to have racing with Toyota,” said Laura Pierce, motorsports general manager for Toyota Motor North America (TMNA). “After a year of strong finishes and multiple victories on the race track, we’re proud to add Sheldon’s name to a growing list of Toyota champions in 2018 and look forward to seeing what’s to come for this young man in the future.”
Earlier this year, Toyota clinched the ARCA manufacturer’s championship and finished the season with a combined 18 race wins.
