USPA NEWS - The NASCAR Whelen Euro Series was founded in 2008 by Team FJ, a Motorsport company based in Blois. It was named NASCAR Official Series in January 2012 thanks to a long-term partnership signed with NASCAR and Whelen Engineering as title sponsor of the Series.
24 races, 2 divisions, ELITE 1 and ELITE 2, on the best European tracks. Team FJ introduced a stunning innovation on July 7-8, 2012 by organizing the first NASCAR Touring Series race on an oval track in Europe. A half-mile long circuit was built in the center of Tours (France) with an all new 9° banking, identical to the one at legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
