2024 NASCAR Brasil Sprint Race

The 2024 NASCAR Brasil Series was the second season of NASCAR Brasil after the rebrand of "Sprint Race" Series.[1] It consisted of 8 rounds starting in March 13 in Autódromo Internacional Orlando Moura, Campo Grande and finished in November 15 in the first banked oval build in Brazil at Circuito dos Cristais in Curvelo.[2] For 2024 was kept the format where the series run all of the cars, but different from 2023 a sub-division in teams was created, resulting in drivers being selected to race for UNIKKA Racing, Race Engineering, Singus Competition and Maxon Racing.[3]

All teams used the same car with a V6 3.6L 300hp engine and aesthetics made to look like the Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang. Different from 2023, in 2024 the AM and Pro/AM subclasses were merged and the Challenge subclass was created and the Pro class was renamed as Nascar Brasil.

Parallel to the Overall championship the drivers compete in the Brazil Championship and in the Special Edition rounds, resulting in three different championships through the season. Vitor Genz was the Brazil Championship champion while Gabriel Casagrande and Alex Seid were both the Overall and Special edition champions in the Nascar Brasil class, while Jorge Martelli was the champion in the Challenge in the Brasil Championship and Victor Andrade was both the Overall and Special edition champion.[4]

For the 2024 Nascar Brasil season different guest drivers appeared trough the season, Daniel Suárez from NASCAR Cup Series was the first for the Interlagos round,[5][6] Stock Car Pro Series champion Cacá Bueno was present in the Potenza round to return to motorsport after a injury,[7][8] and Arianna Casoli from NASCAR Euro Series appeared for the last round in the Circuito dos Cristais first oval race.[9]

Standings

Points are awarded to the driver's entry. While the drivers from all classes would compete at the same time, they would only score points on their respective classes. If an entrant entered two drivers, then both drivers would earn points for their entry. Drivers must complete at least 75% of the race in order to be classified for points. Drivers are allowed to discard points from one Special Edition score and one Brazilian championship score towards their final tally in the overall standings.[3]
