Garrett Lowe is undertaking a new challenge for the 2025 season. With his participation in the 2025 NASCAR GP Spain at Valencia, the American became the first driver to compete in both the eNASCAR Coca Cola iRacing Series and the NASCAR Euro Series in the same year. Lowe drove the #99 Chevrolet Camaro entered by Bremotion in partnership with his sim racing team BS+ Competition in a fine fashion, immediately fighting against EuroNASCAR’s best and proving that the pipeline from sim racing to the NASCAR Euro Series is a great option to kickstart a racing career in the big leagues.
Lowe’s sim racing team calls him a “hybrid racer” because sim racing is his primary domain for motorsport. The American came prepared, having secured success in the Prodigy Racing League thanks to the opportunities brought by BS+ Competition. For his EuroNASCAR adventure, the 23-year old spent a week in Germany to test with Bremotion before traveling to Spain for his debut in front of 19,000 fans.
“It’s been awesome,” said Lowe prior to Round 1. “We spent a week in Germany and that was a lot of fun. It’s not really as much of a culture shock as I expected, but Spain has been awesome for us and we have a lot of fun. We’re at the track so much that it’s hard to go out and explore a little bit, but we were able to sightsee a little bit on Thursday when we got here.”
The results of his preparation immediately bore fruit after Lowe qualified sixth in his first ever PRO qualifying session. In Round 1, the Bremotion driver started alongside French legend Yvan Muller and fended off 2023 champion Gianmarco Ercoli to secure a sixth place finish. He followed it up with a seventh place finish in Round 2, again fending off Ercoli and enjoying a nice battle with Liam Hezemans. A podium finish in the Junior Trophy still eludes the American, but securing one will be a matter of when, not if.
“It’s been a blast man, I’ve had a lot of fun,” added the American after Round 2. “The atmosphere has been great, great teammates, great team and great event. I’m super happy to be here and super thankful for all the opportunities. The event is completely different obviously with only one oval, but the atmosphere is electric. Everyone wants to be down here and see these cars because they’re not only iconic, but it’s not something you can see much in Spain.”
Will the NASCAR GP Italy at Vallelunga be the site of Lowe’s first Junior Trophy top-3 result? Can it also be the place where the American brought home his first overall top-5 finish? Find out how the Bremotion star is going to perform when the action in Italy goes live on 17-18 May 2025. Qualifying and races will be broadcast live from EuroNASCAR’s official YouTube channel and TV channels all around the world.
