The first NASCAR oval race in Tours, France, was so well received that the track was built into a permanent structure and has become the signature race of the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series.
The format was so popular with fans and competitors; NASCAR announced Wednesday the 2015 NASCAR Whelen Euro Series calendar will feature a second oval track on the schedule.
The NASCAR Whelen Euro Series will hold six race weekends involving seven European countries, highlighted by the addition of Raceway Venray, a half-mile oval in Venray, Limburg, Holland, on the border of Germany.
The series will also feature a new championship round site: Circuit Zolder in Belgium.
The series will return to Tours Speedway, located outside of Paris, France, for the fourth year. The four-event regular season will also feature stops at Valencia, Spain, and Brands Hatch in England.
The semi-final round will take place at Magione in Italy before the 2015 NASCAR Whelen Euro Series champion is crowned in Belgium.
The NASCAR Whelen Euro Series holds two races per weekend for its two divisions, Elite 1 and 2, providing for 24 NASCAR races to be held across Europe.
