Ricca Podiums in Both Races!

Genracer Wins Las Vegas!

Fun and exciting past weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway for the guys and gals at Team GenRacer. A stellar effort from the crew allowed driver Jeff Ricca to qualify P2 for Round 13 of the SRO TC America series.

Ricca Scores Impressive TC Round 13 Win at Las Vegas Motor Speedway

Las Vegas, NV – Jeff Ricca scored a dominating win in Saturday morning’s TC Round 13 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The series closes out its 2019 season in Las Vegas – the weekend is sponsored by R.U.N – The First Live Action Thriller Produced by Cirque du Soleil. Johan Schwartz, the 2019 TC Driver’s Champion, finished second, while Chandler Hull finished third.

Pole sitter Schwartz led the 11-car field to the green behind the wheel of his #80 Rooster Hall Racing BMW M240iR Cup. Ricca, in his #78 GenRacer Hyundai Veloster N, timed the green perfectly and dragged race Schwartz to nose ahead and into the lead through the first turn of the race. Schwartz slotted into second, while Hull, in the Copart / BimmerWorld Racing #94 BMW M240iR Cup moved from his fourth-on-the-grid start up into third. Toby Grahovec in his #26 Classic BMW BMW M240iR Cup gained two positions on the start slotting into fourth on the first lap.

By the second lap, Ricca had built a .402 second gap on Schwartz, while Grahovec closed on Hull looking for a way through and into third. Ricca continued to build his lead over Schwartz by lap 4 setting the fastest race lap.

Through laps 5 to 13, Ricca continued to build his lead and gapped Schwartz by three seconds. Behind them Hull defended effectively and held off Grahovec in the battle for third. On Lap 19, Grahovec and Hull went side-by-side through turns 3 and 4 but the driver of the #94 machine was able to defend and hold off the driver of the #26 machine. Behind them Auto Technic Racing’s Tom Capizzi piloting the #52 machine and Copart / BimmerWorld Racing’s Cameron Evans in the #82 BMW M240iR Cup car has joined to create a four-way battle.

Drivers held their positions for the remainder of the race and Ricca took the checkered to claim his second win of the season. Results are provisional until posted final.

"We came in early this morning and made some changes for the track conditions and it paid off,” said Ricca. “My team put an awesome effort into keeping the tires on the car and I just did what I needed to do to manage the tires. We had a nice gap so I let off a bit so we could get through the race and claim first place, love it!"

Ricca Races to P2 in Last Round of 2019

Las Vegas, NV – Johan Schwartz, the 2019 TC Driver’s Champion, added to his impressive season totals winning the final race of the season, Sunday morning’s TC Round 14 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The TC America series closes out its 2019 season in Las Vegas – the weekend is sponsored by R.U.N – The First Live Action Thriller Produced by Cirque du Soleil. Saturday’s Round 13 winner Jeff Ricca finished second, while Chandler Hull finished third.

From pole, Ricca, in his #78 GenRacer Hyundai Veloster N led the field to the green flag and drag raced with Schwartz, in his Rooster Hall Racing #80 BMW M240iR Cup to the first corner squeezing into the lead. Behind them Hanna Zellers in the #06 DRS (Dynamic Racing Solutions) BMW M235iR Cup slotted into third, with Hull in the Copart / BimmerWorld Racing #94 BMW M240iR Cup in fourth.

Lap 2 saw former TC Driver’s Champion Toby Grahovec in his #26 Classic BMW BMW M240iR Cup moving up into fourth around Hull.

A flurry of action occurred on Lap 7 as Schwartz closed on Ricca and passed for the lead, while Grahovec moved into third around Zellers, who dropped back to fifth with Hull moving into fourth. By lap 9, Ricca tried to fight back on Schwartz but the driver of the #80 machine defended his lead deftly.

Hull then passed Grahovec through turn 3 to grab third. On lap 20 Hull and Grahovec continued their heated battle with the two going side by side through turns 3 and 4 – Hull though was able to hold off the challenge to maintain position.

Up front, Ricca would continue to fill Schwartz’ mirrors for the rest of the race looking for an opportunity to regain the lead, but the 2019 Champion never relented and took the checkered.

Overall Fantastic

Over all fantastic. From the ordering process, to how fast the shipping is and also the customer service. This is why I only shop on GenRacer for my coupe! Keep up the stellar work

Awesome Service

I recently purchased the ARK test pipes for my 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 and must say was the best thing I’ve done aside from from getting my aftermarket exhaust. Sounds louder and drives faster! No hassle, got the pipes within three days. Thank you GenRacer,

Simply the Best Service

Most places just sell parts and when you call them it feels like you are bothering them. My last transaction with GENRACER left nothing to be desired, meaning it could have not been better. I purchased front and rear WHITELINE sway bars, front & rear DBA rotors, and EBC YELLOWSTUFF brake pads. I called just after I ordered the parts because I received an "out of stock" email notification. When I called back to chat with someone *** answered the phone. He couldn't have been more knowledgeable about exactly what I was looking for when it came to the right brake pad for my needs (street/track). Come to find out the pads I picked (DBA's) were not the best pads for my application so im very glad I talked to ***!! I just recently had everything installed, bedded the pads and I am so happy I used GenRacer for my 16 R-Spec Coupe!! Thanks again ***!!!

So Awesome

Order came fast and looks amazing on my car. I did have one problem where one tail light would blink sequentially and the other didn’t. I sent an email late in the day inquiring about it. I wasn’t expecting a response until at least the following day as it was so late. Within an hour they had gotten back to me informing me of a switch on the inside of the housing where you can choose sequential or regular. Sweet! Top notch customer service.
