2020 - Year in Review
Vaughan, ON (December 20, 2020) – The Nissan Micra Cup 2020 season has come to and end and for Di Benedetto Racing's Justin Di Benedetto it was a stellar year. Securing second place in the Rookie Championship and finishing fifth overall in the series. An incredible season considering Justin has never driven a race car until this year.
The 2020 year marks the journey for Justin moving from karts to cars. Although the several years of karting experience proved to be an excellent foundation to moving into cars, there was a lot of learning to be done. Through a regime of on-track lapping and coaching, Justin was able to get through the learning curve quickly and be able to compete up front in the series.
“We had an incredible year.”, commented Justin Di Benedetto. “I would like to thank all our partners and the team for making 2020 the year that it turned out to be. I would also like to thank the Sanders family in particular Alan and Gavin for providing incredible insight and nudging me to move into cars. The know how and support I gained from the Sanders camp was invaluable. Vic and Brandon from Simone Performance did an outstanding job prepping my car and dealing with ours ups and downs during the year. My team mate and friends Mark Davis and his family, thank you for being part of our experience – we had a great time. Finally, I would like to thank my entire family for helping make this program a reality. Racing is a lot of work, and it’s a major production both at the track and off. The logistics, prep and time commitments are extensive, and they allowed all of this to come together.”
As the 2020 season comes to a wrap, the team is working hard on starting to prepare for the 2021 season. We look forward to working with Nissan Canada and JD Promotions (Jacques Deshaies and team) for next year as they roll out another exciting year.
