Ouimet is one of thirty karting finalists to move on to the final driver selection event of the 2010 season. He won the final selection in Las Vegas, where 40 drivers competed for the 25 positions of the 2010 Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup driver field. Following three days of testing and selecting, Ouimet was chosen as the recipient of the scholarship.
"The skill level of our karters through the selection process proved to be extremely competitive and Arie should be proud of his performance that led to him earning the top prize," Dennis McCormack, Program Director of the Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup said.
"I am proud of Arie for his accomplishments through the qualifiers and final selection event and look forward to the first race at Virginia International Raceway in April."
