BOWMANVILLE, Ont. — David Jurca won the second round of the Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup in his Redapt/Serengeti Design-sponsored clean diesel Jetta with a strong race at a cold and wet Mosport Int’l Raceway.
Hometown racer Chris Holman came in second, and Jimmy Underhill completed the podium.
After finishing fourth in the first round of the VW Jetta TDI Cup in Virginia, Jurca was hoping to improve on that position and stay in the fight for the championship lead. By winning the race in Mosport, he not only improved his position in the championship, but took the outright lead heading into round three at Portland, Oregon.
“Coming into this race I felt really confident with a strong second in practice and third in qualifying based on lap times,” said Jurca. “My biggest worry was getting through the first turn because I knew something might happen with the slick conditions. It ended up happening right in front of me, and I must have been just inches away from really being involved. I was actually the first car through and am so lucky to have not been involved in the crash.
“Once the incident was clear, I worked my way up and made the pass for the lead and just tried to keep it smart and stay out of trouble.”
The finish:
David Jurca, Chris Holman, Jimmy Underhill, Wyatt Dallenbach, Josh Hurley, Caleb Kenney, Andy Lee, Mark Pombo, Michael DeNino, Liam Kenney, Nick Mancuso, Adam Love, Gary Williams, Jr., Timmy Megenbier, Chris Kuenning, Jake Dallenbach, John Shim, David Richert, Taylor Broekemeier, James Kirkham, Chad Brassfield, Juan Pablo Sierra Lendle, Andrew Cordeiro, Derek Jones, Adam Crepin, Evan Pflock, Chris Castagna, Ryan Buetzer, Adam Kretschmer.
