Ferrari F1 legend Rubens Barrichello has won the NASCAR Brazil Series championship at the age of 53.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 11-time grand prix winner, who left F1 at the end of the 2011 season after a then record 322 starts, has competed in various stock car racing championships in his home nation since, and also at the 2017 Le Mans 24 Hours in LMP2.<\/p>\n
In 2014, he won the Stock Car Brazil title, and then in 2022, added a second crown, but has now added a NASCAR title to his CV.<\/p>\n
NASCAR Brazil is an offshoot of NASCAR itself, and one of four officially sanctioned international series, including NASCAR Canada, NASCAR Mexico and the NASCAR Euro Series.<\/p>\n
Barrichello won his fourth race of the season, coming at the Autodromo Vella Citta, about 180km north of his native Sao Paulo, to claim the title.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He will be honoured at NASCAR’s end-of-season banquet, where the Cup Series champion is also recognised, along with the XFinity and Truck title winners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ferrari F1 legend Rubens Barrichello has won the NASCAR Brazil Series championship at the age of 53.\u00a0 The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":92346,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[573],"tags":[64,63,827,817,830,828,831,829,826,813,816,823,825,824,822,85],"class_list":["post-92345","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-formula-1","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-daniel-ricciardo","tag-f1","tag-f1-calendar","tag-f1-live","tag-f1-results","tag-f1-standings","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-max-verstappen","tag-motorsport","tag-racing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92345","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=92345"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92345\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/92346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=92345"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=92345"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=92345"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
