The HSR NASCAR Classic at Le Mans wrapped up after three intense races on the historic Circuit de la Sarthe, delivering a spectacle that blended classic American stock‑car heritage with modern endurance drama.
JC France’s Heritage Run
JC France, grandson of NASCAR founder Bill France Sr., claimed victory in the opening race, piloting a 2014 Chevrolet Camaro that bore the iconic colors of the sport’s early era.
His win was more than a nod to family legacy; it signaled a resurgence of classic American muscle on European soil, drawing a crowd that appreciated the blend of nostalgia and competition.
Jordan’s Double Triumph
Andrew Jordan then cemented his weekend with wins in both Race 2 and Race 3, driving the No. 15 PEAK 2013 Toyota Camry.
His triumph in the final race was particularly dominant, crossing the line 26 seconds ahead of his nearest rival and underscoring the precision and consistency of his team.
Podium Highlights
The podium was completed by a mix of veteran and emerging talent: Joe Nemechek finished third in the No. 47 Old Spice 2006 Toyota Camry, while Mike Skeen secured the final spot on the podium in the No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge.
Other class winners included Nigel Armstrong in Stock Car B, Christopher Allen in Stock Car C, Peter Klutt in Stock Car D, the Schwartz siblings in the Grand National division, and Scott Dolfi in the Truck category.
Mechanical gremlins struck several competitors, most notably Ryan Gemmell and Kurt Busch, who were forced out before completing the distance.
Beyond the results, the event underscored the enduring appeal of NASCAR’s roots in Europe, drawing fans who appreciate the blend of historic machinery and contemporary competition.
