TOPP Racing is set to take on Watkins Glen International this weekend for the sixth event weekend of the Porsche Sprint Challenge North America championship. The Texas-based team will field its regular two-car lineup featuring current championship leader Cole Kleck in the 992 ProAm class and veteran racer Francisco De Jesus in the 992 Masters class.
Kleck has been nearly unstoppable this season, collecting a dominant string of victories and pole positions through ten races. With only a handful of results keeping him from a perfect record, the young driver now enters the penultimate round with an opportunity to clinch the overall title at Watkins Glen.
De Jesus brings experience and consistency to the Masters class, where he continues to represent the team with competitive performances against some of the most seasoned drivers in the series.
“We are extremely proud of what our drivers and team have accomplished this season,” expressed Todd Oppermann, Team Owner of TOPP Racing. “Cole has shown incredible speed and composure in ProAm, and Francisco continues to prove his strength in the Masters class. Watkins Glen is an iconic track, and with three races on the schedule, it will be an important weekend for us as we work toward finishing the season strong.”
This weekend’s event will feature three races rather than the standard double header, as a makeup race from Road America’s weather cancellation has been added to the schedule. With track action beginning Friday, the added race increases both the stakes and the excitement as the season nears its conclusion. Fans can follow the action live all weekend on the Porsche Motorsport North America YouTube channel.
Oppermann added, “It will be a busy weekend, but we are primed and ready to go!”
TOPP Racing would like to thank team partners Apex Capital Corporation and TCS Fuel Card for their continued support. For more information on TOPP Racing, please visit them online at www.TOPPRacing.com, search on social media for ‘TOPP Racing’, or contact Todd Oppermann via email HERE.
