After winning the last year’s EuroNASCAR 2 Championship with Hendriks Motorsport, Martin Doubek and the Dutch powerhouse have renewed their partnership for the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series season. The Czech will not only defend his EuroNASCAR 2 title but also return to the EuroNASCAR PRO Championship. Doubek will continue to drive the No. 7 Orion Ford Mustang.
The 27-year-old joined the series in 2015. Doubek raced in both championships between 2015 and 2020, joining Hendriks Motorsport for the first time in 2019. He won his first EuroNASCAR 2 race in 2020 and set his eyes on the big prize last season. Sharing the car with NWES Champion Loris Hezemans, the Litomysl-native won the title, bringing home the first major European championship of his career.
“I am extremely happy to announce that this year I will be competing in both the EuroNASCAR PRO and EuroNASCAR 2 championships in the No. 7 Orion Ford Mustang of the Hendriks Motorsport team,” said Doubek. “This will be my eighth year in the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series and this year I want to proudly defend my EuroNASCAR 2 title and go for repeating the feat of 2021 again.
“By competing in both championships, I hope to actually achieve this expectation,” continued Doubek, who scored his first and only EuroNASCAR PRO Challenger Trophy win in 2020 at Vallelunga, Italy. “I’m also really looking forward to Rounds 7 and 8 of the championship, which will be held in my home country of the Czech Republic. I would like to show the Czech public what I can do by shining in front of my own home crowd”
The NWES season will kick off on April 9-10 at the Hockenheimring in Germany.
