The NASCAR Whelen Euro Series Drivers Recruitment Program will return with two test days on September 23 and December 16 at the NWES test track in Fontenay Le Comte, France. Additionally, drivers will also be able to enter the last two Club Challenge events of the season at Zolder (October 6) and Grobnik (October 28) and they will count towards the Recruitment Program.
For race car drivers from around the world who are interested in joining EuroNASCAR, it’s the best opportunity to join the championship and get support to kickstart their NASCAR careers. The program will once again offer financial support to the best prospects taking part in the Recruitment opportunities.
Many of the current top competitors in the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series came from the Drivers Recruitment Program, including two-time EuroNASCAR Champion and current NASCAR Cup Series driver Loris Hezemans and EuroNASCAR PRO superstar Vittorio Ghirelli.
One of the highlights of the NWES ecosystem, the Drivers Recruitment Program has proven to be the best way to enter the world of EuroNASCAR. Experienced NWES PRO drivers support participants to discover the Pure Racing character of the car, while off track each DRP driver will meet NWES President and CEO Jerome Galpin and the series’ organization team to discuss their racing projects and potential needs to join the series.

Following the tests, NWES and its partners will offer to the best prospects scholarships to race the 2023 NASCAR Whelen Euro Series season. The scholarships will go from 5,000 € to 25,000 €.
The Drivers Recruitment Program is open to all drivers:
