TEXTAR CZECH TRUCK PRIX & NASCAR 2022

Autodrom Most has had a weekend full of motorsport. The 30th anniversary Czech Truck Prix brought dramatic battles between racing trucks, NASCARs and touring cars, and the Czechs on the podium.

The busiest racing weekend of the season brought ten races in three series. "Once again, we had the opportunity to see great races, Czech drivers were on the podium in all series and the atmosphere was fantastic. We owe this primarily to the great fans, of whom we counted 35,400 during the weekend," Josef Zajíček, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Autodrom Most, summed up the weekend.

The traditional Czech Truck Prix brought dramatic battles on both days and although Adam Lacko from the Buggyra Racing team did not take gold in any of the four races, he can be satisfied with his performance. The spectators were especially excited by the second race on Saturday. The duel until the last corner of the last lap between Jamie Anderson and Lukas Hahn was taken advantage of by Adam Lacko, who overtook Hahn on the approach to the finish line and thus won second place at the last moment. The spectators in the stands chanted Adam's name like in football and it was no different on Sunday, when Lacko defended second place in the last race of the weekend and the stands again appreciated it in a fantastic way.

In the second race of the weekend, Czech fans kept their fingers crossed for last year's EuroNASCAR 2 class champion Martin Doubka. He also competed in the EuroNASCAR PRO category this year, but bad luck accompanied him mainly on Saturday, when he had to withdraw from the first race after a collision. He only regained his composure in the EuroNASCAR 2 race, where he won second place. On Sunday, he did better again in the EuroNASCAR 2 race, which meant second place again.

Great expectations were raised by the final race of the TCR Eastern Europe championship, in which Petr Semerád from Hyundai Janík Motorsport fought for the title. While Saturday's race went as expected - Semerád emerged victorious from the duel with Pole Bartosz Groszek - the decisive Sunday race was a huge disappointment. Unfortunately, the hopes for the title were ended by an engine failure. The consolation for the Hyundai Janík Motorsport team was at least winning the teams' title. Bartosz Groszek thus became the Eastern European TCR champion practically without a fight. However, Sunday's race was completely dominated by Petr Fulín, who won with a lead of almost 10 seconds, once again confirming his driving qualities.
