Arianna Casoli is just one start away from becoming the first EuroNASCAR 2 driver to do 100 races – The Italian took part in her 98th and 99th races at Autodrom Most
Arianna Casoli will be celebrating a special occasion when he returns behind the wheel of the #14 Ford Mustang entered by Speedhouse in the upcoming 2024 NASCAR GP Germany at Motorsport Arena Oschersleben. With her two starts in the NASCAR GP Czech Republic, the Italian is just one start away from becoming the first ever EuroNASCAR 2 driver to make 100 starts. Strong finishes and Trophy podiums at Autodrom Most gave the 50-year old driver the momentum for a good start into the EuroNASCAR playoffs.
Casoli made her debut in 2016 and instantly impressed by taking seven Lady Trophy victories en route for her first victory in the class classification. The Italian then got a chance to partner with Alon Day at CAAL Racing from 2017 to 2019, where she got plenty of experience from the guidance brought by the championship winning driver and team combo. This helped her to dominate the Lady Trophy by taking 12 wins in 2019, securing her second victory in the special classification.
The 2020 season marked a year full of achievements for Casoli. Not only did she take her best race finish with a top-5 at Zolder, she also had her best championship finish in 11th place and secured the overall victory in the Legend Trophy classification for drivers aged 40 and above. The Italian won a closely contested Lady Trophy battle in 2021 before she embarked on a new challenge by joining Speedhouse in 2022. In 2023, she scored her fourth overall Lady Trophy victory and is on course for a record fifth Trophy title in 2024.
Always a popular figure for her warm smiles and approachable personality, Casoli continues to make improvements on her third season with the Speedhouse team owned by Lucas Lasserre. A new chapter in her illustrious career will be written in the first round of the EuroNASCAR playoffs in Germany on 21-22 September before she returns to the site of her best race finish in Belgium for the EuroNASCAR Finals on 12-13 October. Catch up to Casoli’s heroics from the qualifying and race broadcasts on EuroNASCAR’s YouTube channel and several TV networks from all around the world.
