21-year-old Roman Mavlanov in the first stage of the series NASCAR Whelen Euro Series at Valencia's Ricardo Tormo racetrack finished in fifth place overall and first among the newcomers.
It is a great responsibility to be the first Russian driver in this racing series, and I have made every effort in the fight for first place. Interest in motor sport is growing, and Russian pilots' names are becoming more and more weight in the international competitions. I am sure that such a spectacular series like NASCAR attract Russian fans and lovers of high speeds.
