A competitor in the ERCO SuperCar Series at that time, Van Nevel, a 25-year old native of Brugge, Belgium, made his ESCORS debut in the Alienware Series at Michigan International Speedway back in the summer of 2001.
After a two-year break from racing, Van Nevel plans to return to the sport once again. Van Nevel will return to the ESCORS Alienware Series to replace J.D. Laird in the CDB Enterprises No. 33 Valvoline Dodge in 2007.
