Kia Racing Takes to the Track This Weekend!
Kia Racing takes to the track this weekend at Road America
in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. The team is no stranger to the winner’s
podium at America’s National Park of Speed, having scored a pair of victories
last season with then teammates Mark Wilkins and Nic Jönsson en route to Kia
capturing the 2014 Pirelli World Challenge (PWC) Grand Touring Sport (GTS)
Class Manufacturer Championship. This year, teammates Ben Clucas and Mark
Wilkins return to Road America in the No. 36 DonorsChoose.org
Optima and No. 38 B.R.A.K.E.S. Optima looking for a repeat of last season’s
success as well as to make up ground in the title chase.
Kinetic Motorsports’ privately entered Kia Forte Koups also
will be on-hand for the weekend in the Touring Car A (TCA) class.
Defending driver champion and 2014 rookie-of-the-year Jason Wolfe, in the No.
36 Richard Wolfe Trucking Kia Forte Koup, returns to Road America atop the TCA
driver standings. Meanwhile, rookies Kris Wright, in the No. 34 Wright
Automotive Kia Forte Koup, and Samantha Tan, in the No. 38 Gum Products
International Kia Forte Koup, have acclimated to the series, the Kinetic team,
and their new mounts, and look to clinch their first podium at Road America.
