DAVID JURCA: MOVING FORWARD |
For Immediate Release
December 15th, 2005
Leaving Italian Motors has been one of the hardest decisions I have
ever had to make. After nine successful seasons, I have built up
relationships deeper than most drivers have ever dreamed of. To most
people, my decision may look obvious in relation to the opportunity
I have been offered, but to those few who really knew the loyalty
and friendship involved, they probably have some sort of idea.
There are some key individuals who I must take the time to thank:
Claudio and Bev Valiante have been like second parents to me. I have
spent countless summers, holidays, and weekends living in their care
since 2000 and I want to thank them for all the opportunities they
have presented me with.
Not only has Michael Valiante been a truly genuine friend, but he
has also been a mentor to me and I have looked up to him since my
first year of karting. I credit much of my success as a driver to
his coaching ability.
I have never worked as well with anyone as I have with Dave
Carpentier. I guess it’s not hard to work with him when you see how
dedicated he is to what he does. It was no surprise to me that he
became a Tuner of the Year along the way. He has been both a great
friend, and an outstanding mechanic.
As a newbie to the team, Todd Bowman fit right in. Todd was a
pleasure to work with and really helped step up our program. I would
like to thank him for the added success he helped me achieve.
I would also like to thank the Ritters, the Hoggs, the Ruscittis,
the Duecks, the Jenns, James Cox, John Knowles, both Thompson
families, the Duersons, the Whitts, the Camerons, Milani, Claudia
Valiante, Michael Luongo, Grazia Cortese, and anyone else I missed
that has helped contribute to the team.
I wish everyone the best of luck in 2006.
