On September 25th and 26th, Aerosmith guitarist Brad Whitford joined the Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup as a guest driver at Road Atlanta. As the series’ regular drivers found out, Whitford’s talents aren’t only limited to the studio or the stage. He’s also an avid amateur racecar driver, and he finished 18th in the final race of the season.
“This entire weekend was quite an experience for me,” said Whitford. First of all, I was driving a totally different car than I have competed in before. Secondly, I have never raced in the rain. Add the two together, and it sounds like a recipe for disaster. However, I was able to keep the car on track and in one piece for the entire race. Considering the conditions, I was really amazed at how well these cars held up to the demands of racing. Several years ago, nobody would have guessed that you could race a diesel, but these Jetta TDI clean diesels are awesome little cars.”
