A renowned U.S. NASCAR team will join the NASCAR Euro Series for the 2025 season with the #30 Ford Mustang: Rette Jones Racing will enter the European NASCAR stage as the team has signed Liam Hezemans for the PRO division, while Gil Linster will take the wheel in the OPEN championship. The car will be serviced by Roy Hendriks' Hendriks Motorsport, one of the most successful teams in NASCAR Euro Series history. Everything is new, but Hezemans and Linster will be competing in an environment they know from past seasons.

After two successful outings of the 2025 Drivers Recruitment Tests at Fontenay Le Comte in France, the next stage will take place in Italy. The NASCAR Euro Series is teaming up with the Sharks team to host the recruitment sessions at the Cremona Circuit, located between Milan and Parma on February 4-5. The track offers a challenging layout and is the perfect place to start a career in NASCAR in Europe. The 3.7-kilometer layout features a mix of technical corners and high-speed straights and will prepare drivers for the seven-event 2025 season.

The NASCAR Euro Series presents a brand new format for the 2025 season. The redesigned time-attack-based Rookie Challenge will be part of five events and will provide the best opportunity for newcomers, talents, gentleman drivers and rookies to prepare for PRO and OPEN races and gain valuable track time. The new competition will replace the Club Challenge and will consist of three 30-minute sessions on Friday. Two sessions will be timed and will award points to the participants.
