Stock Car Brazil[edit]

In 2013, Gabriel ran three stages in Stock Car Brasil for RC3 Bassani[1] and the rest in the Turismo category, finishing in third place overall in the latter.[2] In 2014, Casagrande raced with the C2 Team (formerly Gramacho),[3] with driver Diego Nunes as his teammate.[4] He was also paired with veteran Enrique Bernoldi in the first race of the season.[4] In 2017, Casagrande went on to compete for the championship for Vogel Motorsport.[5] He won his first career victory in the championship by winning the second race of the Curvelo round, in Minas Gerais.[6] His second victory in the category came in 2019, when he won the first race of the eleventh round in Goiânia.[7]

In 2021, Casagrande won the championship for the first time, winning two races in that season.[8] In the 2023 season, he won the championship once again, winning three races in that season.[9][10]

NASCAR Brasil Sprint Race[edit]

In the 2023 season, Casagrande paired up with Guilherme Backes in the fifth and sixth rounds, both of which were Special Edition rounds.[11] He won two races in the Special Edition ProAM division and won that championship alongside Backes.[12][13]
