Loris Hezemans won his second Euro Series championship title in 2021.

Despite not taking part in the fifth round at Zolder to compete in the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at the Charlotte Roval, Loris Hezemans was crowned as champion at Vallelunga after winning four races and finishing 7 races inside the podium, his second title in the series. He finished the season 3 points ahead of Gianmarco Ercoli, who scored a race win at Rijeka and 7 podium finishes. Lucas Lasserre finished third despite being winless, tying his best championship finish in the series under NASCAR's official sanctioning. Defending series champion Alon Day won three races but was unable to defend his title after retiring four times while defending EuroNASCAR 2 champion Vittorio Ghirelli, who scored his maiden top class victory at Most, had his championship hopes dashed after a crash in the final race of the season. Stienes Longin and Jacques Villeneuve were the other race winners, Longin winning his home race at Zolder while Villeneuve swept the weekend at Vallelunga.

In the EuroNASCAR 2 class, Martin Doubek won the title after teammate Tobias Dauenhauer crashed late in the final round of the season. Both drivers scored a total of five race wins and nine podiums each, but Dauenhauer's incident on the final race handed the championship to Doubek who won the title by 17 points. Not Only Motorsport driver Naveh Talor finished third after scoring his maiden win at Zolder. Indian driver Advait Deodhar was the only other race winner of the season, scoring a victory in the first race at Brands Hatch.

Hendriks Motorsport won the Teams Championship for a record third time as the team's No. 7 car, driven by series champions Hezemans and Doubek, would finish the season on top of the Teams standings with 969 points. DF1 Racing's No. 22 team finished second with 875 points, 94 points adrift from Hendriks' No. 7 team, while the No. 50 Hendriks team would finish third with 867 points.

    • Only the best ten results from the first twelve races and all results from the final round of the season were counted towards a driver's total in the drivers' championship.
    • A success handicap will be implemented in Race 2. Drivers who scored a podium finish in Race 1 will receive a grid penalty for Race 2 after the grid was initially set through the ordering of fastest lap in Race 1. The Race 1 winner would receive a three-place grid penalty, while second and third-place finishers would receive a two and one place grid penalty respectively.
    • The three fastest drivers in Qualifying would receive championship points. The pole sitter would receive three championship points, while second and third would award two points and one point respectively.
    • The allocation of slick tires for each driver would be increased from 20 to 22. A driver would receive 4 new tires at Valencia, Most, Hockenheim, and Zolder, while 2 new tires would be given at Vallelunga, Brands Hatch, and Rijeka.
  • Following an open meeting between the series and team owners before the season opening round at Valencia, it was announced on 13 May 2021 that NASCAR Whelen Euro Series will reverse its decision on the planned introduction of success handicap and championship points being awarded during Qualifying, with Qualifying and Race 2's grid ordering rules being reverted to the system that has been used previously.[76]

For the final round at Vallelunga, double points are awarded. In addition, the driver that gained the most positions in a race will receive bonus championship points.
