Only 18 points separate the top-3 in the 2025 NASCAR Euro Series PRO standings as the championship battle heads to the final races at Circuit Zolder in Belgium on October 11-12. Following a dramatic kickoff to the 2025 Playoffs at the Motorsport Arena Oschersleben, reigning champion Vittorio Ghirelli seized the lead with a crucial Sunday victory, racking up 382 points. Paul Jouffreau trails by just 4 points, while Gianmarco Ercoli holds third, 18 points adrift of the leader.

Consistency will be absolutely paramount, and just one misstep could derail any shot at the championship trophy. Still, those two Italian aces and the young Frenchman have truly separated themselves from the rest of the field, putting down dominant performances, grabbing big wins, and showing off some serious speed. But don’t count anyone out just yet! With double points up for grabs at Circuit Zolder, a track that’s brewed up plenty of drama as the final stop on the schedule, none of those top-3 drivers can be sure of anything until the checkered flag waves.

Garrett Lowe, trailing Ghirelli by 46 points, is currently P4 in the standings. Following the summer break, this American NASCAR Euro Series rookie found his stride, wheeling his machine to two overall podium finishes at Autodrom Most and Oschersleben. While Lowe has clearly stepped up his game, the legendary Circuit Zolder, nestled in the Limburg woods, presents a new challenge for the Junior Trophy contender. With a bit of luck and a strong run, the hybrid racer could be in contention for a top-3 overall finish, or perhaps even a shot at the PRO title.

Rounding out the top-5, Thomas Krasonis is 55 points behind his PK Carsport teammate, who leads the standings. Liam Hezemans holds the sixth spot, tied in points with Sebastiaan Bleekemolen. Martin Doubek, Vladimiros Tziortzis, and Claudio Cappelli complete the top-10, all within 100 points of the lead. A maximum of 176 points, including bonus points, are up for grabs at Zolder. With everything on the line, the championship battle is set to go down to the wire at the 2025 NASCAR Euro Series season finale.
