SRT Viper Cup Series – Ben Keating Sweeps Both Races at Road America

May 14, 2012

Ben Keating won both SRT Viper Cup Series presented by Pennzoil Ultra races this past weekend at Road America. Keating remains unbeaten this season after his victories at Road America and the season-opener at Road Atlanta.

Keating won the pole for the first race and subsequently lead all 10 laps in the 25-minute timed event. For the second race, Keating started from the rear of the field based on the SRT Viper Cup Series rule that reverses the starting grid from the first race’s finish.

It did not take long for Keating to move through the field, taking the lead on the third lap and holding on for the final 11 laps to take the checker flag.

The four wins have propelled Keating to a commanding 99-point lead over his closest challenger, Jim Booth, in the Championship standings.

Ralph Gilles, the President and CEO of the SRT Brand and Senior Vice President of Design at Chrysler Group LLC, competed in both races and took home a third and fourth place finish.

The next SRT Viper Cup race will be held July 7-8 at Virginia International Raceway.
