Jetta TDI Cup races at Lime Rock Park midway through series
August 13, 2008
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."
Points Scores, driver's standings after three of eight races
Complete ranking information listed below includes ranking, driver name (points), hometown and car sponsor.
Volkswagen of America, Inc. recently announced Electronic Stability Program (ESP) as standard equipment on all its 2009 vehicles. As a result, Volkswagen is one of the only original equipment manufacturers to offer an electronic stability control system on their entire product line – ahead of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) deadline requiring vehicles in the 2012 model year to include stability control systems. Volkswagen's ESP technology works in conjunction with anti-lock brakes and helps reduce loss of control and rollovers to avoid crashes. NHTSA predicts nearly 10,000 lives could be saved each year if automakers included stability systems as standard equipment.
