Sadly a NASCAR Mexico series driver died in crash in 2009 at Puebla. R.I.P
Yeah I believe that’s the most recent nascar death. Especially around that time, the safety in international series cars were probably similar to gen 4 cup cars if not worse
That crash was brutal to watch also his brother was a couple spots behind him imagine the trama that when through him
Carlos padro
I saw that wreck, and I was like: He's not walking away from this one.
@@racingwithjoe considering the way Carlos Pardo crashed, it was more a matter of track safety rather than the cars. It was almost as violent as Mike Harmon's gate crash at Bristol, he got turned at full speed into a stationary concrete barrier that brought him into a dead stop
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.
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.
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
im really surprised to know Nascar Brasil have an Italian transmission in youtube, the series is really fun, if the people give a try to it even with the language barrier they will like it. Thanks for your job!
The pintys series Canadian tire finishes are underrated
Peak short track racing
Yeah but is sucks because they don’t even broadcast it anymore on tsn
@@toadsixeightI swear they were broadcasting it just a few weeks ago I was watching it because I had nothing else to do
@@Conner_MV33 hmm the last race that broadcasted live was at Canadian tire road course but maybe I missed reruns
@@toadsixeight they usally brodcast them Saturdays around 12 pm, even if they have been pre-recorded from the week before
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 RUclips 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
Naska's career is amazing. He started as a simdriver, then he moved into amateur series. He became a youtuber and he found the budget for racing with both bikes and cars, but after an accident in 2020 he now only races in EuroNASCAR and Mitjet
naska is the only reason i know of euronascar
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!
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.
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.
Venray is actually back! So glad to see some oval racing in Europe as well!
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 learned some English by watching full NASCAR races on RUclips, so you could learn some Spanish or portuguese :)
Get ready to learn Spanish buddy
Yes, I Hope Nascar Brazil start to have a english transmission in their RUclips, It would help a lot to increase international popularity
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.
You should've mentioned alberto naska. He basically makes euronascar 2 the more popular of the divisions in euronascar due to his youtube popularity
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
Pintys is iconic. Those car bodies are so hot
I didn’t know about the brazil sprint race until I saw the thumbnail of this video
It's just so sad that there aren't ovals in the Nascar Euro series
They'll be doing a 1/2 mile oval this year! They used to have a 1/3 mile temporary oval in a parking lot too. There's a superspeedway in Germany, and a currently unused 1.5 mile track in England. England actually has it's own short track formula.
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.
Former AUSCAR drivers :
Our time to shine, mateys!
@@DannyPlaysStuff ah yes the infamous Calder Park Thunderdome!
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?
Your going to edmonton
@@cohengamertv6548 Yep!
Loved this video.
You should do a video on dome of the extinct series nascar had
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!
The best part are the hometown guys that race part time when the series swings through their province. People like Jamie Kryzik and Shantel Kalika who race the Western Swing make the series truly special
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
Nascar Brasil have their transmission in their RUclips channel, worth to try this weekend
Proud to say we have a friend that raced in the Euro Series. Ryan Vargas 😎
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
17:19 best livery ever and the CoT wing on the back is just the cherry on top lmao.
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.
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
The Pintys Series and Mexico series have had races in the US! Pinty's at Loudon and Mexico at Vegas.
The Mexico Series has also raced at Phoenix.
Makes me wonder why these other branches of Nascar don’t get as much recognition.
Fun Fact: EuroNASCAR once had a 4-day race weekend in 2020.
Great video! I didn't know about this stuff. Keep it up man. 👍
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!
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
Props to you, sir :)
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
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.
5:37 that one is the GOAT THE GOAT!!!!!!!!!
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.
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.
Ive heard of the Pinty Whelen Euro and Mexico series but never knew they had a Brasil racing series
Yes, they started this year, they have amazing races
I love the pintys series they need the trucks back at mosport
Cup is supposed to be running the Canadian GP circuit next season
For sure almost all those races were classic finishes
They did not say xfinity is coming to Canadian gp xfinity did it in 2012 it worked I'm just saying xfinity is coming to mosport with the trucks
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.
"WOOO NASCAR" - Alex Bowman
Yeah I didn’t even know of the Brazil series.
The wheelen Euro series is nice. I watched them a few times.
I think andrew ranger mightve done some indycar sruff. Or maybe indy lights but im notnsure
Yep he did two full seasons in champ car right before moving to the pintys series. He got one podium (2nd place) and finished 10th both years in points
Anyone else here after Ryan Vargas announcement?
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.
What would it take to get a trophy dash between these four series and competitors from the K&N Pro Series?
Someone who actually knows how to pronounce Whelen?! 😱
Love the videos but your pronunciation of some of these foreign names are quite atrocious 😭😭
I was waiting for the first person to say something 😂😂 I tried looking up pronunciations on google for some of them
I wonder if they’ll do an Asia or Australia series
Look into the Australian Trans-Am series. It's pretty much nascar-style racing under a different name. Some great racing at great tracks (including Bathurst). For that matter, the Aussie Supercars series is what the current NASCAR cup cars are based on (hence SVG winning Chicago), so that's worth a look too. No ovals tho...
The Mexico Series going to the LA collesium on the race weekend
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
Haven’t heard of this, but I think that would be pretty expensive for some of those series to run new ARCA cars.
@@racingwithjoe ARCA need a spec car
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?
❤❤❤❤
17:14 yes related to Max Verstappen’s mother for those wondering
Two gripes one being you coulda added links to the RUclips channels that broadcast those races and two its am as in amature not A.M.
I don't think people forgot about pinty's series but ok
6:40 that would be the death of Carlos Pardo in 2009
17:21 ngl right that livery looks like something a 8 year old would make in a racing game's custom livery editor lol.
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
I think that is V8 Supercars
Yes there was a nascar Asia at one point in the 90s
@jasonsaeger8538 yes In recent years, it was v8, but in the 90s, there was a NASCAR Asia series.
The Speedcar Series maybe, I think it wasn't NASCAR sanctioned tho
@@RandomCarl05 Yeah that's what it was called but yeah pretty sure it wasn't
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.
Pin the raced at NHMS in like 2017
Australian NASCAR/AUSCAR isn’t there….
The Canadian series is more entertaining than the Cup series...
Am is short for amateur. The a.m. keeps throwing me off lol
Cool I didn’t even know that. It was really hard finding any info on what defines the classes in the Brazil sprint race. Pretty sure it’s all the same cars but they just split drivers up based on experience levels. No idea quite frankly.
@@racingwithjoe Yes, all classes in Nascar Brasil uses the same car, they are only separated by experience, with Pro-am being the drivers under development and AM being the "gentlement" drivers, Arthur Gama last year raced in Pro-am, with being Champion he entered this year in the Pro Championship
@@racingwithjoe its like the lemans classes they have a pro class for professional top level driver pairings, pro am is a pro and amateur driver combo, and am is an all amateur driver pairing. Why drivers have bronze silver gold and platinum ratings. Bronze and silver being amateur and gold and platinum being pro. Many silver drivers dont even want to go gold because itll limit their opportunities since pro-am teams need silver drivers. Doesnt mean they cant or wont be as fast or faster than a gold or platinum, which is exactly what a pro am team wants. Just means they havent won as many prestigious events or have as much experience
i like nascar México Brasil
at this point supercars guys are gunna block any cup series ride lol
not complaining, though
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
They only did in 2018 and 2019. I’m not sure why the international series have strayed away from competing in the US for at least one race, seems stupid.
Alberto Naska best driver in Whelen EuroNascar 2
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.
EuroNascar looks like glorified late models made to turn right also
Fun fact about Nascar Brasil is the RUclipsr from Acelerados Gerson Campos (he is from Rubinho Barrichelo Chanel) wins with a Ex member Cassio Cortes in 2018 champ
I hate this thumbnail so much
Just curious, why do you hate it? I think it's cool. Caught my attention and didn't know a lot about these venues. Now I do.
@@tonythe-razor6074 because they aren’t forgotten just because they aren’t in America
Was also nascar racing in Australia from late 1980's to early 2000's
