The NASCAR Whelen Euro Series will be featured at the world-famous Goodwood Festival of Speed for the third year in a row with an expanded lineup.

Four cars will race up the hill in the traditional Shootout Hillclimb, driven by ELITE 2 points leader Giorgio Maggi, up-and-coming NASCAR star Todd Gilliland, former Cup Series driver David Gilliland and NWES President Jerome Galpin.

The presence of the European NASCAR series at one of the most important motorsports meeting in the world—the Goodwood Festival of Speed, taking place now through July 7 and attracting tens of thousands of passionate fans every year—keeps growing edition after edition and will reach a new high this weekend. Four Euro NASCAR cars will be displayed together with a large NASCAR delegation and will take part in the iconic Shootout Hillclimb competition reaching its culmination on Sunday.

Several stars will highlight the 16-car NASCAR delegation at Goodwood: NASCAR Xfinity Series race winner Ed Berrier, former Cup Series champion crew chief Andy Petree and European endurance icon Emanuele Pirro will all take part in the Shootout, while Hall Of Famers Richard Petty and Bobby Labonte will drive NASCAR cars in demo runs.

After taking part in practice runs, the Euro NASCAR drivers will take on qualifying for the Hillclimb Shootout on Saturday, while the iconic race up the Goodwood Hill will begin on Sunday. All activities will be streamed live on Goodwood.com.
