Hendriks Motorsport will enter the season as the defending team's champion.

Alon Day was crowned as the champion after winning 4 races and finishing all 10 races inside the Top-10.

During the course of the season, Day broke Vilariño's record for the most wins in the series when he won his 23rd career victory in the second race at Valencia.^[1] Rookie Lasse Sørensen finished second after scoring two race wins on his debut year in the EuroNASCAR PRO division, while defending champion Loris Hezemans finished third having scored two race wins. Gianmarco Ercoli and Stienes Longin were the other two race winners of 2020 after winning a single race at Vallelunga and Rijeka respectively.

In the EuroNASCAR 2 division, Hendriks Motorsport driver Vittorio Ghirelli won the title after winning 5 races and finished 9 races inside the Top-10. Series debutant and teammate Tobias Dauenhauer finished second after winning 3 races while Alessandro Brigatti finished third after scoring 4 podiums, both drivers also finished 9 races inside the Top-10. Vladimiros Tziortzis, the first Cypriot driver in NASCAR, finished fourth while Julia Landauer finished fifth.

Hendriks Motorsport's No. 50 team, driven by Hezemans and Dauenhauer, successfully defended the Teams Championship title after scoring 835 points, finishing 88 points ahead of the sister No. 18 car driven Giorgio Maggi and Ghirelli.
