Making the trek to Las Vegas for the second annual ROK Cup USA ROK the RIO, BirelART North America has entered more than thirty drivers in this weekend’s competition. Set to take on the biggest ROK Cup race in North American history, a stacked list of competitors across the BirelART North America dealer network are looking to be named ROK the RIO champions.
“We have drivers from seven different dealers racing in Las Vegas this weekend,” expressed Dominic Labrecque. “It is great to see the support and growth of the BirelART product line throughout the country, and this is a direct result of our dealer network. We are looking to finish the season strong and that starts this weekend with the ROK engine platform.
13 of the BirelART North American drivers come from two shifter kart divisions. Exceling in past gearbox events, the team will look to continue their success in the fastest of all the ROK classes. With a mix of drivers from Canada, United States, Costa Rica and Scotland, BirelART can be seen in every class of competition over the weekend.
