Portland International Raceway to Host the Third Race
Entering the third race of an already competitive series, the VW Jetta TDI Cup will make it’s only stop on the West Coast at Portland International Raceway on July 27. The clean diesel race series is anticipating an enthusiastic welcome in what is widely known as one of the greenest cities in America.
“These clean diesel vehicles are going to bring a whole new element of racing to an area that already has a significant interest in the environment. We’re thrilled to be headed west and Portland’s dedication to clean living is a perfect fit for Volkswagen,” said Clark Campbell, motorsport manager, Volkswagen of America, Inc. “Our drivers have had a bit of a break since the last race, and we’re excited to be back and ready to hit the track in Portland.”

Sponsors for the series include: Aggreko, Athlete’s Performance, Bondurant, Bosch, ful®, Holder, Hoopla, Ironclad, Kyosho, Oakley, RedBull, UTI and ViOn.
