Jarett Andretti in Pirelli World Challenge with Golf TCR

02 February 2018

David Tilton Racing & Copeland Motorsports have signed Jarett Andretti to compete in the PirelliWorld Challenge TCR class at the wheel of a Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR car.
Jarett is the son of John Andretti, cousin of Marco Andretti, nephew of Michael Andretti, grandson of Aldo Andretti and great nephew of Mario Andretti.
He has competed full-time in the USAC National Sprint Car and Silver Crown Cars Series, earning Rookie of the Year honours in the Sprint Car category at Lawrenceburg Speedway once at the USAC National Sprint Car and again at Oswego Supermodified. He’s steadily progressed in several series, including winning championships in go-karts, USAC Midget Eastern Ignite Pavement Series, Lawrenceburg Speedway Sprint Car and Indiana Sprint Car Series.

"I want to thank David Tilton Racing & Copeland Motorsports for this opportunity,” said Andretti.“I am excited and look forward to this new challenge. David and everyone at Copeland Motorsports put a lot into their programme and I'm eager to become a part of it."  
"We look at this as an opportunity to go to the next level,” said David Tilton. “I am humbled that Andretti has chosen us. We have hired a lot of different drivers in the past, but Andretti brings a lot of youth and talent to our team, explained Tilton. He’s proven at a young age to be able to be consistent, giving feedback to his team to improve the car and race hard to get the best possible finish. He knows how to win, too. He’s really eager to show what he can do and that he belongs in the Pirelli World Challenge TCR Racing Series.”
“We are very excited to be working with Dave Tilton Racing and bringing the new Volkswagen TCR car to our program,” stated Kevin Copeland. “They have brought a lot of support and we feel that the VW is the manufacture to be in as we go into the new TCR series! We are very excited to have Andretti as part of the team. Jarett showed he has the talent and speed in our pre-season testing. We feel that with our program and Andretti’s talent, we are a strong contender for the championship!”
