NASCAR's first-ever race on ice, which was supposed to take place in Finland with the EuroNASCAR Series in March, has been put on hold due to global supply-chain issues:
In October, the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series announced it would unofficially kick off its 2023 season March 4-5 in Rovaniemi, Finland, with an all-star race where for the first time in history NASCAR cars would race on ice.According to series president and CEO Jerome Galpin, supplying the cars with the equipment needed to adapt to the ice conditions proved not to be possible in current conditions.
“It is really unfortunate and we feel sorry for all the NASCAR fans eagerly waiting for this event to take place. With the current situation, it is difficult to get every component we need to prepare the cars for this kind of event,” Galpin said. “As we do for all the events of the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series, we want to deliver with the Ice Race the best possible experience for everyone at the track and at home, so we prefer to take the time to have optimal conditions.Galpin said he remains committed to staging the event “in the near future.”
The 2023 NASCAR Whelen Euro Series season will kick off on May 6-7 at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia, Spain. All races will be broadcast on the EuroNASCAR YouTube channel.As part of the sport’s 75th anniversary celebration, a NASCAR Cup Series Next Gen car will take part in the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the first time in 47 years with the Garage 56 program.
