- Kelvin Hassell makes his return to the Rookie Challenge
- The Brit completes the driver line-up for BS+BREMOTION
- Winning Rookie Challenge is Hassell’s goal for 2026
BS+BREMOTION adds the final piece of the puzzle for their #99 squad in the upcoming 2026 NASCAR Euro Series season. Eastbourne’s Kelvin Hassell signed a deal with the German team that will see the Brit make his return to Rookie Challenge. After a season away, Hassell is ready to continue where he left off in 2024 and rise up to the top of the official European NASCAR regularity time attack division.
Hassell is no stranger to fast machinery, as his daily job is to restore and maintain classic cars as the owner of Madly Standard. The 48-year old was introduced to the NASCAR Euro Series via the Recruitment Test and was instantly hooked with the thrills and sensation of pure racing.
Hassell then signed a contract with Bremotion in 2024, gaining important experience with the cars fielded and maintained by the talented team led by Patrick Brenndorfer. Two podium finishes and a fifth place overall result represents a good first step for Hassell and with the support of partners Ultra Drive UK and Vrroom Virtual Race Room, he is hungry for more.
“I am looking forward to working with Bremotion once again. I want to win this year’s Rookie Challenge!” said Hassell. A return to a familiar environment and the guidance of expert teammates Garrett Lowe and Dominique Schaak will undoubtedly see Hassell propel his way forward on the five rounds that are set to welcome the Rookie Challenge competitors in 2026.
