The Nascar stock car-racing series has struck a deal for Whelan Engineering to sponsor its European touring series.
The series, which organises championship auto racing events around Europe, will be known as the Nascar Whelen Euro Series in a seven-year deal, from 2013 until 2019.
Whelen will also work with Team FJ, a French racing team, to develop the series in Europe.
This year’s Nascar Whelen Euro Series will begin in France this coming weekend.
