NASCAR Brazil drivers join the 2024 season kickoff in Daytona
Last year, NASCAR Brazil had a successful debut season with the NASCAR Brazil Sprint Race, becoming the sanctioning body’s fourth international division. NASCAR Brazil drivers will be present at the upcoming season openers at Daytona International Speedway, both as spectators and competitors at New Smyrna Speedway. MCM Racing Development is fielding three drivers with NASCAR Brazil experience to compete in Late Model and Pro Truck races at New Smyrna. NASCAR will also host Brazilian drivers and guests at the Daytona 500 for the second year in a row. The top three finishers in the NASCAR Brazil series points each year earn the opportunity to come to Daytona for a test session. One challenge in bringing NASCAR to Brazil is the country’s limited oval tracks, as most of the NASCAR Brazil races were held on road courses last season. NASCAR provides test dates to help Brazilian drivers acclimate to oval racing and encourages them to participate in development programs like the one offered at MCM Racing.
