Joey Atterbury and Devin Cates have teamed up to join Mitchum Motorsports for 2010. They will be racing a new Riley Technologies Camaro in the Grand Am Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge.
Atterbury and Cates became good friends while racing against each other in the 2009 VW Jetta TDI Cup Series. In that series Atterbury won the opening race at VIR, and garnered ‘Rookie of the Year’ honors by finishing in the top five in 6 out of the 10 races. He finished 4th overall in the final point standings. Cates was awarded ‘Most Improved Driver’, won the 9th race of the series at NJ Motorsports Park and finished in the top 10 in points overall. Cates also captured the iRacing Driver award by having both the fastest time and the most hours logged racing the Jetta TDI on iRacing during the season.
Both rookie drivers earned their SCCA Pro Racing Licenses through the VW Jetta TDI Cup Series. They both proclaim this series as a great way to start your career as a race driver. Despite living on opposite ends of the country, Atterbury and Cates race each other daily on iRacing as they prepare for next season in the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge. Both drivers own and race a Spec Miata in their local SCCA Regions.
