AEROSMITH's BRAD WHITFORD To Compete In Final Volkswagon Jetta TDI Cup Race

September 24, 2009

After nine races on seven different circuits, the SCCA Pro Racing Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup series is entering its final contest of the 2009 season this weekend at Road Atlanta in Braselton, Georgia. When the 23 series regulars take to the 12-turn, 2.54-mile road course for the race that will decide the Championship, they will be joined by two guest drivers — AEROSMITH guitarist Brad Whitford and motorsports journalist Jeremy Shaw.

The pair will compete alongside the other drivers in all track activities this weekend beginning with practice on Friday at 8:15 a.m. ET and concluding with the race on Saturday at 9 a.m. ET. Both Whitford and Shaw have motorsports backgrounds and are excited to be racing this weekend in the country's only clean diesel motorsports series.

"I attended the Petit Le Mans race weekend last year, so I was able to get a feel for the Jetta TDI Cup during its first season," Whitford said. "This will be a totally different experience for me, though. It's going to be a lot of fun to be on the other side of the fence, and I'll definitely have a much better view of the race. There are some talented drivers in this series, so hopefully I'll be able to learn a few things from them when I get behind the wheel this weekend."
