LIME ROCK, Conn. – The fourth race in the competitive Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup will take place on Saturday, August 16, at 10:30 a.m. as part of the NASCAR Camping World East Series weekend at Lime Rock Park. Series points leader David Jurca, Federal Way, Wash., will look to solidify his lead among the field of 30 racers driving the clean diesel vehicles. The previous three races have resulted in a different winner each time, proving how unpredictable this field of young drivers truly is.
“After the great race in Portland a few weeks ago we’re ready to start what will be a busy few months in the remainder of the Cup series,” said Clark Campbell, motorsports manager, Volkswagen of America, Inc. “We’ve seen the drivers only improve as they get more time in the Jettas and on the track and the message about clean diesel racing has been well received at every venue we’ve visited so far.”
The Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup series is an innovative approach to motorsports – 30 factory-prepared and managed 2009 clean-diesel Jetta TDIs will be piloted by talented, up-and-coming drivers, aged 16 to 26. Volkswagen’s goal is to find the driver with the most talent and help them break into the world of professional motorsports. The Jetta TDI Cup series, the first all clean-diesel race series, is sanctioned by SCCA Pro Racing Inc. Sponsors for the series include: Aggreko, Athlete’s Performance, Bondurant, Bosch, ful®, Holder, Hoopla, Ironclad, Kyosho, Oakley, RedBull, UTI and ViOn.
