Five Lady Trophy titles, one Legend Trophy win and 48 Lady Trophy class wins: Arianna Casoli is a class act in the history of the NASCAR Euro Series. The Italian will continue her fabulous racing career with Speedhouse Racing to compete in the OPEN championship. The Reggio Emilia native is looking to break the 50-win barrier in the Lady Trophy and win her sixth title in the special classification. Since joining Lucas Lasserre’s Speedhouse Racing in 2022, Casoli has made great strides and has become an even more prominent figure on the EuroNASCAR grid.
Casoli has tested in the USA in the past and also made her oval debut in the NASCAR Brazil Series in 2024. The 51-year-old is a perfect example of how women can make a mark in motorsport, despite starting her career late in the mid-2010s. Casoli joined the NASCAR Euro Series in 2016 and has racked up numerous class wins, trophy titles and overall top-10 finishes in the OPEN division. The Italian wants to be a role model for young girls pursuing their dreams of becoming an integral part of motorsports, whether as a driver, mechanic, engineer or media professional.
“What can I say? I’ve been a part of the NASCAR Euro Series since 2016 and the upcoming season will be my fourth with Speedhouse Racing,” she said. “It all started with the goal of racing and trying a new experience. It was a challenge to myself. I should be used to it by now, but it still feels like the first day of school. Like the previous seasons, I am trying to pick up where I left off. My goal is to continue to improve my performance and my approach. I want to be better in qualifying, especially after showing clear improvements in my race pace.
The atmosphere at Speedhouse Racing is very special to Casoli: “With a strong focus on race performance and driver development, the team never loses sight of the quality time we spend together. This helps me to find serenity and confidence in myself. I’m really enjoying my time at the race tracks.” The perfect environment and the will to succeed are the main ingredients for the Italian’s unique success in the NASCAR Euro Series.
Lasserre is happy to have Casoli back on the team. “Arianna knows Speedhouse very well, it’s her home when it comes to racing. This will be our fourth season together,” he said. “I couldn’t be happier. Since she joined the team in 2022, we have worked together on many aspects of her driving and have had very positive results. You can see that in her lap times. This season we will try to raise the bar even higher. Arianna brings all her EuroNASCAR experience to the team and also her smile, which is perfect for our great atmosphere. I will be coaching Ary personally to help her achieve her goals. The values of Speedhouse Racing – racing, style and good times – are a perfect match for Arianna. Ary, you are Speedhouse!”
The 2025 NASCAR Euro Series season kicks off April 12-13 at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia, Spain. Keep an eye out for the #14 Ford Mustang that Casoli will once again be driving with her famous gecko on the side. Qualifying and all races will be broadcast live on EuroNASCAR’s YouTube channel and on many television networks around the world.
