Nelson Piquet Jr. has experienced everything in his storied decades-long career. From open wheel feeders, Formula 1, NASCAR O'Reilly and Trucks Series, rallycross, sports cars, endurance, touring cars and Formula E, if anything has an engine, then Piquet Jr. will be open to give it a try.

The inaugural Formula E champion set his sights on a new category in 2026 where he will make his NASCAR Euro Series debut with #48 Alumitec Racing Ford. The Brazilian's time in O'Reilly and Trucks demonstrated his ability to compete with grit and fender-banging mentality, vital skills required to succeed in NASCAR machinery like the official European NASCAR championship.
