From EuroNASCAR to the Spa Six Hours

From EuroNASCAR to the Spa Six Hours

A Ford Mustang competing in the Spa Six Hours Endurance already fits the setting rather well. But when the three drivers sharing the wheel come straight from EuroNASCAR, the story becomes even more interesting.

Behind the wheel of this 4,725cc Mustang will be Gil Linster, Thomas Toffel and Logan Bearden—three drivers whose 2026 season is currently unfolding at the heart of the EuroNASCAR championship.
Swiss driver Thomas Toffel currently leads the standings, while Luxembourg’s Gil Linster, third overall, remains firmly in contention for the title.

American Logan Bearden is also enjoying a strong season, as he currently leads the Challenger category.

This line-up is no coincidence. Gil Linster first met Logan Bearden and his American team at the Daytona 200 in 2024. That relationship continued in 2025 with the arrival of the first American team in EuroNASCAR, before Logan joined the same outfit as Gil in 2026.

On the other side of the Atlantic, Logan also competes in various NASCAR races, including the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series—two categories on the road to the NASCAR Cup Series.

At the end of September, it will be time for a change of era: behind the wheel of an American icon, right at the heart of the Spa Six Hours Endurance.
