The NASCAR Euro Series regular season was supposed to be an eight-race audition. Instead, Beitske Visser turned it into a title hunt. Now, with the Playoffs looming and double points on the line, the Dutch road-course ace has made a blockbuster garage switch. Visser is parting ways with Bremotion x Rehberg Racing and strapping into Team Bleekemolen equipment for the final two-stop push to settle the Lady Trophy title fight.
Originally slated for only a regular-season run under the BS+COMPETITION banner alongside Julien Rehberg in the #77 Chevrolet Camaro, Visser proved too fast to sit out the Playoffs. Rather than parking it ahead of the post-season, she brokered a deal with Sebastiaan and Michael Bleekemolen’s perennial front-running operation, keeping her behind the wheel for rounds at Autodromo Vallelunga (Sept. 18–20) and Circuit Zolder (Oct. 16–18).
“After getting a taste of NASCAR racing, I definitely wanted to finish the season and continue fighting for the Lady Trophy,” said Visser, who will share the #76 Toyota with Vinnie Meskelis. “Moving to Team Bleekemolen for the Playoffs feels like a very natural next step. As a Dutch driver, joining a Dutch team makes it even more special, and I’m excited to see what we can achieve together in Vallelunga and Zolder.”
By combining one of Europe’s most versatile driving talents with an established winning squad, this midseason move unites a proven contender and a powerhouse NASCAR Euro Series team. It’s an aggressive play born out of sheer momentum. Visser’s rookie stretch began with adversity at Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia, where she muscled her car through the pack without power steering, wrestling a heavy, 400-horsepower V8 brute home to a top-10 result and a division victory.
She backed it up by qualifying on pace and slicing through traffic at Circuit Paul Ricard, wheeling to a sixth-place overall finish against seasoned OPEN division veterans. By the time the regular-season finale concluded at Autodrom Most, Visser had piled up trophies, seized 13th in the overall OPEN standings, and built a commanding lead in the Lady Trophy chase.
The initial split with Team Rehberg was mutual and pre-planned, allowing both sides to complete their scheduled four-round run. But with silverware within arm’s reach, Visser chose to double down. Joining an all-Dutch powerhouse outfit resets her ceiling right when the margin for error evaporates: double points mean a single cut tire or blown corner can erase an entire summer’s worth of work. Visser’s regular season turned heads across the garage. Her playoff move signals she’s no longer just trying NASCAR on for size – she’s racing for a trophy ring.
