The Sorocaba native had a positive participation in the night stage in Cuiabá. In the Sprint Race, Murilo started from sixth position and finished the first segment of the race in third. Although he did not finish the race, the result secured important points for his championship battles.
With the points earned in the Midwest, the driver moved up from 10th to 9th place in the overall standings. In the Challenge, he rose from fourth to third position, while continuing to lead the rookies’ table.
For the Londrina stage, Murilo will have as an advantage his prior knowledge of the circuit. During the pre-season tests, the driver drove the Full Time Ford Mustang #55 on the Paraná track. The experience may be important in a decisive phase of the calendar, especially because his most significant results this season happened at Interlagos and Velocitta, circuits he had already known during his journey to the runner-up position in the F4 Brazil last year.

“I am very motivated to continue the season of learning and evolution with the Full Time team. It will be interesting to return to Londrina and compare this week’s performance with the point where I was when I first drove the car. The calendar is moving towards its final phase and I hope to keep delivering results for Mobil and finish my rookie year competing for the rookie of the year title and the other championships in dispute,” said Murilo Rocha.
The schedule for the sixth stage of NASCAR Brasil begins on Friday (21), with the first free practice. On Saturday, the second free practice and qualifying take place. The two races of the stage will be held on Sunday, concluding the event. The races will be broadcast on the category’s official channels.
