INTERCONTINENTAL GT CHALLENGE POWERED BY PIRELLI

Intercontinental GT Challenge Powered by Pirelli represents the highest echelon of long-distance GT racing.Established in 2016, the series’ purpose couldn’t be simpler: reward the manufacturer and drivers who achieve the best collective results in the world’s greatest standalone endurance events. The proliferation of GT3, built on more than a decade of manufacturer involvement and SRO’s Balance of Performance stability, has resulted in it becoming the de facto senior class for all of the world’s most prestigious GT races. This, as well as using the same Pirelli tyres, offers manufacturers an incentive to compete in all such events by employing regional customer teams without the expense of freighting cars around the world.

 

It’s Going to Be a Bumpy Ride: Touring Cars Take on Sebring

Garrett Extends Lead in TCX
Williams and Ricca Battle in TC
Anderson and Bucknum remain neck and neck in TCA
Entry List | Tickets



The TC America Powered by Skip Barber field is gearing up for the penultimate round of the season as they brace themselves for the iconic bumps of Sebring International Raceway. The championship standings remain close across all three classes, and as 22 drivers prepare to face off in two more rigorous races, they will need to bring their A-game as they take on one of the country’s most demanding and unforgiving circuits. 

TCX

Colin Garrett had a flawless double victory in his No. 44 Rooster Hall Racing BMW M2 CS (Cup) last time out at Road America, further adding to his impressive streak of results this season as he now holds four wins and five podiums to his name this year. Lucas Catania was in hot pursuit in his No. 26 Rigid Speed Company BMW M2 CS (Cup), earning two second-place finishes. The competition between these two frontrunners remains as fierce as ever heading into Sebring.

Kenny Schmied earned his first podium result of the season with a third-place finish in his No. 14 AOA Racing BMW M2 CS (Cup). It was a challenging round for Maddie Aust in the No. 09 BMW M2 CS (Cup), but the Fast Track Racing driver will be eager to reclaim a spot for herself on the podium. She will also be joined by the No. 21 Fast Track Racing BMW M2 CS (Cup) entry. 

Joseph Catania will also be back in the No. 24 Rigid Speed Company BMW M2 CS (Cup) following two Top 5 finishes, while Christopher DeFreitas will be driving in the No. 93 Ian Lacy Racing Civic Type-R TCX. The final entry in the TCX belongs to newcomer Joseph Pizzuto in the No. 45 Extreme Velocity Motorsports BMW M2 CS (Cup). 

TC

The championship battle between Clayton Williams and Jeff Ricca has been nothing short of enthralling all season long, with the two stealing victories away from each other all season long. Ricca took home the victory in Race One at Road America in his No. 78 Genracer / Ricca Autosport Hyundai Elantra N TC, while Williams took back the top spot in Race Two with the likes of his trusty No. 60 MINI JCW Team Mini JCW Pro TC. With only four races remaining this season, it remains to be seen whether anyone else will be able to put an end to their reign. 

Cristian Perocarpi walked away from the National Park of Speed with second and third-place finishes but is still waiting for the day he crosses the finish line first in his No. 37 MINI JCW Team Mini JCW Pro TC. The same applies to Celso Neto, who also secured a third-place finish in the previous round in his No. 7 Skip Barber Racing School Honda Civic Type R. Sally McNulty will also be back on track in the No. 780 Hyundai Veloster N DCT TC, with Jeremiah Burton returning in his No. 34 Skip Barber Racing School Honda Civic Type R. 

TCA

As the season progressed, the championship battle between Devin Anderson in the No. 22 TechSport Racing Subaru BRZ and Spencer Bucknum in the No. 5 LA Honda World Racing Honda Civic Si FE1 has only gotten closer and closer. The pair each claimed a victory and a second-place finish in Wisconsin, further amplifying how there is no room for error in this game of cat-and-mouse. 

The final spots on the podium belonged to P.J. Groenke in his No. 62 MINI JCW Team Mini JCW in Race One, followed by Shaoyi Che in the No. 23 TechSport Racing Subaru BRZ in Race Two. The two are presently sitting fourth and fifth in the standings and will be attempting to close the gap to William Lambros ahead in the No. 77 Skip Barber Racing School Honda Civic Si FE1. 

Finally, the TCA field will be completed by Cooper Broll in the No. 19 Skip Barber Racing School Honda Civic Si FE1, Ruben Iglesias in the No. 88 VGRT Honda Civic Si FE1, and Mario Biundo will be making his return in the No. 07 LA Honda World Racing Honda Civic Si FE1. 

Let’s Go Racing

The TC America Powered by Skip Barber field will take to the track at Sebring International Raceway for Practice One on Friday, September 22. Tickets are available for purchase with kids free under 16 years old.

Sebring Sets Scene for Penultimate GT America powered by AWS Race Weekend

Gidley Leads Daskalos in SRO3 Class
Bell, Chouest Locked in GT4 Battle
Entry List | Tickets



Sebring International Raceway welcomes GT America powered by AWS for two rounds of racing as the 2023 season nears its close. A total of 21 entries make up the two class field. Jason Daskalos closed the 18-point gap to current SRO3 Class Driver Points Championship leader Memo Gidley. Meanwhile, Jason Bell and Ross Chouest in the GT4 Class are four points apart as they continue to battle for the championship.

The Sebring International Raceway weekend could easily shake up the standings with the high difficulty the 3.741-mile, 17-turn course provides. Sebring commonly reminds drivers to “Respect the Bumps.” However, the bumps don’t always return the respect. The rough track mixed with rough racing can also be paired with high heat, making for an arduous weekend.

SRO3

Gidley, in the No. 101 TKO Motorsports Mercedes-AMG, has led the way this season, racking up multiple wins. His points lead over Daskalos in the No. 27 CRP Racing Mercedes-AMG, has slowly been diminished to 18 points. The No. 04 CrowdStrike by Riley Mercedes-AMG GT3 of George Kurtz sits in third place with 185 points. Kurtz has the opportunity to gain on Daskalos should he repeat his 2022 performance. He took home wins in Race One and Race Two. Kurtz is also comfortably sound with a gap of 64 points back to fourth place Anthony Bartone in the No. 427 RealTime Racing Mercedes-AMG GT3. Bartone is in his first season of SRO competition and could be a wild card at Sebring.

Johnny O’Connell continues to settle into his No. 3 SKI Autosports Audi R8 LMS. He has turned multiple laps at Sebring and will lean on his experience to get ahead of Bartone who 15 points is ahead of him in the standings. What Adam Adelson had hoped to be an exciting venture with the new Porsche 911 GT3 R turned into a non-start in Race One at Road America. Adelson will no doubt have the No. 120 Wright Motorsports Porsche 911 GT3 R back fighting for the lead in the next rounds. Todd Treffort in the No. 41 CRP Racing Mercedes-AMG GT3 takes on Sebring in his first season. The Mercedes-AMG, much like other tracks, should find the Florida heat favorable.

Mirco Schultis in the No. 70 MISHUMOTORS Corvette C7 GT3 R and Andy Wilzoch in the No. 460 Flying Lizard Motorsports Porsche 911 GT3 R will go head-to-head. Only four points separate the two in their own championship battle for eighth. Rounding out the field is the No. 08 DXDT Racing Mercedes-AMG GT3 of Scott Smithson and No. 043 OnlyFans Racing by P1 Groupe with MRS Porsche 911 GT3 R. Neither driver has raced with GT America powered by AWS at Sebring prior to this season.

GT4

The GT4 Class has been a close call from the drop of the first green flag on the streets of St. Petersburg. Jason Bell in the No. 2 Flying Lizard Motorsports Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT4 leads the class with Ross Chouest in the No. 50 Chouest Povoledo Racing Aston Martin Vantage AMR in tow a mere four points behind. Robb Holland in the No. 099 Rotek Racing Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport caused concern for Bell as he quickly gained ground in the Driver Points Championship. Holland was collateral damage in an incident at Road America, which has given the top two more comfortable points gap. Elias Sabo in the No. 8 Flying Lizard Motorsports Aston Martin Vantage AMR is 56 points behind Holland but has only a five-point lead over Grey Newell in the No. 25 Heart of Racing Aston Martin Vantage AMR. The two both had brilliant performances at Road America with Sabo taking home the Race One win.

While Tony Gaples in the No. 5 Blackdog Speed Shop Camaro GT4 R has large points gap ahead of him, he also has created a large gap back to seventh place Nicholas Shanny in the No. 21 Carrus Callas Raceteam Toyota GR Supra GT4 EVO. Tim Savage in the No. 009 TRG Aston Martin Vantage AMR takes his first turn at running consecutive race weekends. Scott Blind in the No. 045 Archangel Motorsports Aston Martin Vantage AMR returns for his second week in SRO competition. Entering in his first race weekend of 2023 is Thomas Collingwood in the No. 81 BGB Motorsports Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport. 

Let’s Go Racing

GT America powered by AWS gets to work at Sebring International Raceway Sept. 22-24. Tickets are available for purchase with kids free under 16 years old. To follow the race from home, join free livestream coverage on the GT World YouTube page or enjoy our Twitch Watch-Alongs with host AshVandeley at SROMotorsports.

Respect the Bumps: Sebring Hosts Fanatec GT World Challenge America powered by AWS

Class Championships Weigh in Balance Ahead of Indianapolis
Filgueiras, McAleer of RS1 Hunt PRO Title
CrowdStrike by Riley’s Kurtz, Braun Lead the PRO-AM Class
Entry List | Tickets



The Fanatec GT World Challenge America powered by AWS versus the world-famous bumps of Sebring International Raceway is the showdown needed for a penultimate event of the 2023 season. The points championships have yet to be decided but both PRO and PRO-AM Class drivers have the opportunity to clinch their respective classes ahead of the Indianapolis 8 Hour presented by AWS.

Sebring International Raceway is often considered the proving grounds as its physicality is as well-known as its technicality. The 3.741-mile, 17-turn is as difficult on drivers as it is on the machines they drive. Therefore, while teams may have experience at the Florida track, Sebring is always seen as a bit of a level playing field. 

PRO

Leading the way is the No. 28 RS1 Porsche 911 GT3 R of Eric Filgueiras and Stevan McAleer. The duo returns to the class atop the Driver Championship with a 19-point lead, cut down after a rough weekend at Road America. The No. 93 Racers Edge Motorsports Acura NSX GT3 of Ashton Harrison and Mario Farnbacher can relate. The duo was on point for a podium before an incident on track took Harrison and Farnbacher out of contention. They sit second place in the points standings going into a race weekend where they’ll hope to duplicate their 2022 Race One win. 

Chandler Hull and Bill Auberlen in the No.94 BimmerWorld BMW M4 GT3 turned two stellar performances in Wisconsin into a third-place positioning in the Driver Championship. They sit one point above fourth place. The ever-steady No. 53 MDK Motorsports Porsche 911 GT3 R of Seth Lucas and Trenton Estep is fourth in the standings. The duo has fought through weather, drama and incidents to stay in contention in their first PRO Class season. 

Manny Franco and Alessandro Balzan in the No. 21 Conquest Racing Ferrari 296 GT3 are coming off back-to-back wins and a single point behind Lucas and Estep. They’ll aim to capitalize on their momentum to push ahead in the championship. 

The No. 45 Wright Motorsports Porsche 911 GT3 R of Madison Snow and Jan Heylen joined the PRO Class for the first time at Road America. While they’re out of contention to advance upward in the points standings, they will add a level of competition to the class, making competitors work harder for their own advancement.

PRO-AM

The No. 04 CrowdStrike by Riley Mercedes-AMG GT3 of George Kurtz and Colin Braun lead the PRO-AM Driver Points Championship by 17 points, owning 157 in total. In 2022, Kurtz and Braun finished second and fourth at Sebring International Raceway, respectively. A solid weekend at Sebring would ease the stress in Indianapolis. 

The No. 120 Wright Motorsports Porsche 911 GT3 R of Adam Adelson and Elliot Skeer are the drivers in pursuit of the CrowdStrike Mercedes-AMG. In their first season of PRO-AM competition, Skeer and Adelson will lean on the success of their team from previous seasons. Currently third in the points standing is Derek DeBoer in the No. 007 TRG Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3. He is joined by Ross Gun in place of Valentin Hasse-Clot, who is fifth in the Driver standings. The entry has been highly competitive over the season, keeping DeBoer near the top of the championship.

Samantha Tan sits five points behind DeBoer in fourth place. Her teammate Neil Verhagen is seventh in the driver championship; he’ll easily move up in the class with Jan Heylen now competing in the PRO Class and Charlie Luck sidelined due to injury. Tan and Verhagen come into the weekend after celebrating their first win together at Road America. Jeff Burton and Corey Lewis in the No. 91 DXDT Racing Mercedes-AMG GT3 are eighth in the driver points standings. In 2022, the pair nearly missed the podium with a fourth-place finish at Sebring in Race One.

Scott Smithson and Bryan Sellers in the No. 08 DXDT Racing Mercedes-AMG sit near their teammates in 10thin the points championship. Together the two entries will pull their data to find their first podium of the season.

The No. 33 Triarsi Competizione of Justin Wetherill and Ryan Dalziel head home for the penultimate round. The two drivers are not only Florida residents, but they return to action at the home track of Triarsi Competizione. Finally, the No. 43 RealTime Racing Mercedes-AMG GT3 of Anthony Bartone and Adam Christodoulou continues to gain ground. While the two are out of championship contention, having begun the season in the AM Class, a win could very well be in the cards.

Let’s Go Racing

Sebring International Raceway is set with two rounds of racing for the Fanatec GT World Challenge America powered by AWS series Sept. 22-24. Tickets are available for purchase with kids free under 16 years old.

Brent Crews Declared Winner in Wild Race at Watkins Glen


 

Green and Machavern Earn Podium Finishes,

Merrill Retires Early After Crash

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (September 10, 2023) ― It was all about tire strategy in the Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli’s Big Machine Vodka SPIKED Coolers TA2 Series race at Watkins Glen International. Brent Crews in the No. 70 Franklin Road/Mobil 1/Nitro Motorsports Ford Mustang and his team gambled on slicks and it paid off as the track dried, allowing the 15-year-old to score his fourth win of the season and extend his lead in the championship standings.

 

Yesterday’s qualifying session was canceled due to rain and fog, so the grid was set by practice speeds, putting Connor Zilisch in the No. 7 Silver Hare Racing Chevrolet Camaro and Crews on the front row. With rain falling prior to the race, teams were forced to choose whether to start on rain tires or slicks. Zilisch and Crews opted for slicks, and with rain still falling, the two were passed by their competitors on rain tires as soon as the green flag waved. After Zilisch dropped to fifth and Crews to sixth, Thomas Annunziata took control of the race in his No. 90 Nitro Motorsports Ford Mustang until lap three, then Rafa Matos in the No. 88 3-Dimensional Services Group Ford Mustang took over the point position until a full-course caution on lap six.

 

By then, the rain had stopped falling and the track was drying quickly, so several competitors on rain tires took the opportunity to visit pit road to change to slicks, including Matos and Annunziata. When green-flag racing resumed, it was once again Zilisch and Crews leading the pack to the start/finish line. This time, Zilisch would remain in control, pulling ahead of the field. Shortly after the restart, Thomas Merrill in the No. 26 Bennett/HP Tuners/Cope Race Cars Ford Mustang made contact with another competitor, causing the 2022 champion to spin and take damage that would force his early retirement from the race. Zilisch and Crews paced the field, leading Austin Green in the No. 89 3-Dimensional Services Group Ford Mustang and Nathan Herne in the No. 29 CUBE 3/Berryman Ford Mustang.

 

By lap 17, Zilisch pulled out to a nearly 10-second lead before the double yellow waved and erased his large gap. The field was shown the green on lap 22, but the cars were once again brought under caution later that same lap for a multi-car crash that required a red flag for an extensive cleanup. Racing finally resumed on lap 27 with limited time on the clock, and Zilisch’s strong restart allowed him to protect his lead, leaving Crews, Green, Herne and Dillon Machavern in the No. 17 Heritage AG/UniFirst/SLR-M1 Ford Mustang behind him. Herne was able to pass Green on the restart, securing the third spot before the checkered flag waved on lap 29 of the timed event. Zilisch crossed the finish line first, however, both he and Herne were disqualified after the event due to a technical infraction, making Crews the Watkins Glen winner. Green was credited with his second runner-up finish of the year, and Machavern earned a third-place result. Matos finished fourth, and Thad Moffitt in the No. 43 Safety-Kleen/SLR-M1 Race Cars Chevrolet Camaro rounded out the top five after an impressive run from 33rd to fifth, which earned him the Bassett Hard Charger Award.

 

“We had a great No. 70 Franklin Road/Mobil 1/Nitro Motorsports racecar today,” said Crews. “I just wanted to get through the whole race, that was the number-one goal to start. Having it rain and then starting on slicks was pretty much a gamble for us. I think we changed [between slicks and rain tires] about three or four times [before the race]; we couldn’t make up our minds, but we made the right decision. I just want to thank everyone at Nitro Motorsports, Nick Tucker and my whole family.”


 

Notes of Interest:

This is Brent Crews’ fourth win of the 2023 season. Crews has more wins than any other competitor this year.

 

Crews came into the weekend with the Big Machine Vodka SPIKED Coolers TA2 Series points lead and also topped the Young Gun standings. Today’s victory will extend both of those leads.

 

Chris Durbin in the No. 25 AMSOIL Chevrolet Camaro took the Pro/Am victory with an impressive seventh-place finish.

 

Ty Young in the No. 22 Ty J. Young Wealth Management Ford Mustang earned the COOLSHIRT Cool Move of the Race for pushing his stalled teammate Keith Prociuk after the red flag, allowing Prociuk to refire his engine and sacrificing his own track position.

Justin Marks Wins Second-Consecutive TA Race

at Watkins Glen, Scores Third Victory of 2023


 

Dyson Finishes Second, Keith Grant Third,

Boris Said Starts 100th Race 

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (September 9, 2023) ― Justin Marks drove his No. 99 Trackhouse/Jockey Chevrolet Camaro to GYM WEED Victory Circle for the third time this season, claiming his second-consecutive win at Watkins Glen International. Marks started the race from the pole position for the fifth time in 2023 and cruised to victory despite an early challenge for the lead by Boris Said, who was making his 100th start in the Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli.

 

At the wave of the green flag, Said in the No. 79 ECC/Anchor Bolt and Screw Dodge Challenger got an excellent start, passing polesitter Marks going into the very first turn of the race. Said led the event for the first three laps before Marks was able to pick him off. Once Marks reclaimed the lead, it was smooth sailing for the Showtime Motorsports driver. His lead only grew throughout the caution-free race despite strong competition from Said and Chris Dyson in the No. 16 GYM WEED Ford Mustang.

 

Said held onto the runner-up spot until lap 13, when he started to experience transmission issues. Dyson made his way around Said and into second place while Said’s Challenger slowed. A lap later, Said came to the pits and a transmission fan problem forced his retirement from his 100th event. This allowed Keith Grant in the No. 40 Showtime Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro to take over the third spot, and Marks, Dyson and Grant crossed the finish line in that order to fill the podium.

 

Fifth-place starter David Pintaric in the No. 57 Kryderacing Ford Mustang and sixth-place starter Tomy Drissi in the No. 8 Lucas Oil Ford Mustang battled tightly for the fourth spot for the duration of the race. While Drissi was able to make the pass on Pintaric in the final laps, Pintaric fought his way back around him, earning him the COOLSHIRT Cool Move of the Race and the fourth finishing position. Drissi rounded out the top five.

 

“I want to make sure that these Showtime Motorsports guys get some credit and recognition because they worked really, really hard this weekend battling through some electrical problems,” said Marks.  “They had to do a lot of work on the car to get a racecar out of it. We always seem to get it right at the right time. I really want to recognize them and all their hard work. It was a good race; it was a drying track at the start of the race, so starting on pole, I didn’t really have the spot I wanted getting into Turn 1. Boris [Said] was able to drive in really deep and roll it outside in Turn 1 and got in front of me. Then we got to battling for a couple laps and I finally got by him and just could maintain a gap from there. I had a really great racecar, and it continues to get better.”

 

Notes of Interest:

This was Justin Marks’ third win of 2023 and second-consecutive victory. His first of the season was at Lime Rock Park in May and he scored a win in the series’ most recent outing at Road America.

 

Marks started the race from the pole for the fifth time in 2023. He has more Motul Pole Awards than any other competitor this year.

 

Chris Dyson earned his seventh podium finish in a row. He has scored a podium finish at every race since NOLA Motorsports Park in March.

 

Lee Saunders earned his fifth-consecutive victory in the SGT class. Saunders has won every race since Lime Rock Park in May.

 

This was Boris Said’s 100th Trans Am Series race. He was presented with a trophy to commemorate the achievement during the post-race ceremonies.

 

“Hopefully, there will be a hundred more races left in me,” reflected Said. “What I remember most about my first start is that [Barbara Eden from] ‘I Dream of Jeannie’ said ‘Start your engines’ in 1993 at the Miami Grand Prix. I’ve been racing for 37 years and I just love it. I still feel like a little kid getting in these cars and racing with guys like Justin [Marks]; It’s just a blast. Hopefully, I’ll be racing for a few more years, but right now it’s more about watching my son race. Hopefully he kind of takes the ball.”

Danny Lowry in the No. 42 Bennett/BridgeHaul/Pitboxes.com Mercedes AMG GT3 and Ricky Sanders in the No. 18 BridgeHaul/Bennett Family of Companies Audi R8 LMS battled from start to finish in the XGT class. Even late into the event, the two were within a car length of each other, putting on an exciting show. Ultimately, Lowry took the victory with Sanders finishing just behind him.

 

“This race was a lot of fun,” said Lowry. “I knew Ricky [Sanders] would be tough. I really give a lot of credit to Ricky. He was fantastic. He kept the pressure on me the entire time and he made it a lot of fun. He got in the draft and I thought he was going to get me going through the bus stop a couple times, but I don’t know if he backed out or had mercy on me. That was all-out racing and I had a mirror full of Ricky. He did a fantastic job and he’s a good buddy of mine. I’d like to thank the Bennett Family of Companies, BridgeHaul, and Ricky Sanders Racing for all the help they give us.”

Lee Saunders in the No. 84 LandSearch LLC Dodge Viper could not be stopped by Josh Carlson in the No. 36 Enseva/TC Fab/Diercks Ltd. Ford Mustang. Saunders set the pace for the class and never relinquished the lead, scoring his fifth-consecutive SGT class victory.

 

“I’d like to first thank God for giving us no rain,” said Saunders. “I was a little worried we were going to have to start on rain tires, and that’s never a good thing in a Viper. Luckily, we had a dry line and we got through it. I want to thank Kevin with KSR. They’re the reason we get up here on the podium all the time. It’s just meticulous car prep by them; they’re awesome. All the competitors had a great time and there were some great battles. This is an absolutely fantastic track. Seeing the elevation changes for a flatlander Florida guy like me, this is really exciting. It’s a very good, very fast track. Thanks to Trans Am for putting this race on.”

Chris Coffey in the No. 97 Norwood Auto Italia/Traffic Grafix Maserati MC GT4 started the race first in the GT class, but immediately after the green flag, Michael Saia in the No. 13 KMC/Rabid Wraps/Rapid Performance Management Porsche GT3 Cup 997.1 sailed around him. However, Coffey was able to recover the lead and hold it for the remainder of the event. Saia had a strong run in second, but contact late in the race led to a broken transmission, forcing him to retire early. Michael Attaway in the No. 91 Bennett/BridgeHaul/Pitboxes.com Audi R8 finished second and Saia was relegated to third.


 

“I am incredibly thankful that the weather decided to hold out for us,” said Coffey. “I thought for sure that we were going to be starting on a completely wet track, but thankfully it was dry enough. It was a great race. This guy [Michael Saia] went straight past me on the start and I had to track him down, but I had an incredible race. I’d like to thank Colin and Nancy Cohen. They’re by far my biggest sponsors. They’re with me every step of the way, and I couldn’t do this without them. I’d also like to thank my crew; I couldn’t be here without those guys.”

Justin Marks Earns Fifth Motul Pole Award of 2023

at Watkins Glen International



Danny Lowry First in XGT, Lee Saunders Best in SGT,

Chris Coffey Quickest in GT

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (September 8, 2023) – Practice and qualifying are in the books for the Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli at Watkins Glen International. Justin Marks in the No. 99 Trackhouse/Jockey Chevrolet Camaro earned his fifth Motul Pole Award of the year with a time of 1:44.333. Marks kicked off the season with back-to-back poles at Sebring International Raceway and NOLA Motorsports Park, and this weekend is his third pole in a row after topping the speed charts at both Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course and Road America.

 

Boris Said in the No. 79 ECC/Anchor Bolt & Screw Dodge Challenger will start second in his 100th-career Trans Am Series race. Two-time champion and current points leader Chris Dyson in the No. 16 GYM WEED Ford Mustang will start third.

 

“We’ve been fighting electrical gremlins all weekend, so qualifying was the first time we were able to make a lap of any kind,” said Marks. “These guys worked hard to replace the starter switch, the wiring harness, and to find a bunch of ways around a problem that was robbing power from the car. They worked really hard today. I just really didn’t get any laps, so I had to kind of go out there and remember my brake points and everything from last year. The car was pretty good, so we were able to get it on pole.”

Meet Me in St. Louis

The Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli returns to the St. Louis area for the first time in 38 years when the Gateway SpeedTour pulls into World Wide Technology Raceway in Madison, Illinois, just minutes from the famed Gateway Arch. The series raced on the same property in 1985, at what was then called the St. Louis International Raceway, in an event won by two-time Trans Am champion Wally Dallenbach Jr. Until now, it was the most recent Trans Am event held in the St. Louis area. Since 1985, the property has been completely renovated; teams will be taking on a completely different 1.6-mile, eight-turn ‘Circuit of St. Louis’ infield road course built in 1996 within the 1.25-mile oval used by the NASCAR Cup Series and NTT INDYCAR SERIES.


 

The St. Louis area is historically significant to the Trans Am Series’ formative years. Trans Am raced at Mid-America Raceway in Wentzville, Missouri in 1966 in what was just the second-ever race in series history. Located about 45 minutes to the west of St. Louis, Tom Yeager and Bob Johnson teamed up to win the Over 2.0-Liter class in the event, while Horst Kwech and Gus Audrey won the Under 2.0-Liter category. This was the first and only time Trans Am has ever competed in the state of Missouri. 

 

The Roval’s Return

This weekend’s event will be Trans Am’s 612th race, but just its 36th event on a hybrid road course/oval circuit commonly referred to as a “roval.” Only 10 other oval facilities have hosted Trans Am on an infield road course since 1966:


 

·        Charlotte Motor Speedway

·        Daytona International Speedway

·        Homestead-Miami Speedway

·        Indianapolis Motor Speedway

·        Michigan International Speedway

·        Phoenix International Raceway

·        Pikes Peak International Raceway

·        Sanair Super Speedway

·        Texas Motor Speedway

·        Texas World Speedway


 

Coming Together

This weekend, fans will get to experience an exciting all-class race combining the TA/XGT/SGT/GT field and the Big Machine Vodka SPIKED Coolers TA2 Series in one action-packed event. Each class will be competing against only each other, as always, but with speed variation between the classes and multiple close championships being fought for, managing traffic will make the event more challenging for competitors.

 

This is the first all-class race since a 2021 doubleheader event at Watkins Glen International. 2014 was the last year in which all of Trans Am’s classes ran together for a full season, with only half of the races combined in 2015. Since then, there have been only seven all-class events.

 

Local Celebrity Returns

St. Louis native and Trans Am commentator Ben Cissell stands out as a star among the SpeedTour staff, but back in his hometown of St. Louis, he’s a star of the Walk of Fame. Cissell grew up in St. Louis and graduated from Parkway West High School before taking the world by storm. In 1995, after spending one year studying music at Southern Illinois University of Edwardsville, he joined the Christian rock band Audio Adrenaline as the lead drummer and went on to travel the world. Regular performers at the annual Creation Festival, Spirit West Coast Festival, Agape Music Festival and Alive Festival, Cissell was with the band as they recorded six studio albums, sold over four million albums, received five Grammy nominations and two Grammy wins, and were awarded six GMA Dove Awards. He remained a member of Audio Adrenaline until the group disbanded in 2006. In 1999, Cissell was awarded a star on the St. Louis Walk of Fame; he is also an honoree in the Parkway Hall of Fame.


 

Homeward Bound

Two drivers in this weekend’s field are from the states of Missouri and Illinois, making World Wide Technology Raceway a home track for them. Grant Palmer in the No. 10 BC Race Cars Ford Mustang is closest to home, with St. Charles, Missouri located only 30 minutes from the racetrack.

Dyson’s Championship Hopes Brighter

Chris Dyson in the No. 16 GYM WEED Ford Mustang has led the point standings in TA for much of the 2023 season, but the championship has still been hotly contested, with multiple-race winners such as CD Racing teammate Matthew Brabham and Justin Marks, as well as the always-competitive Amy Ruman, all within reach of stymying his run for his third-consecutive title. This weekend, however, those drivers are absent from the entry list, giving the 2021 and 2022 champion breathing room. With his closest competitor running this weekend, Tomy Drissi in the No. 8 Lucas Oil Ford Mustang, 141 points behind him, Dyson won’t be able to clinch the 2023 title at WWTR. However, a good run will put the championship all but within his grasp.

 

Young Gun: Almost Locked and Loaded

TA2 points leader Brent Crews in the No. 70 Franklin Road/Mobil 1/Nitro Motorsports Ford Mustang has the ability to wrap up the 2023 Young Gun title this weekend at World Wide Technology Raceway. He currently holds a 223-point advantage over Connor Zilisch in the No. 7 Silver Hare Racing Chevrolet Camaro, and if he exits this weekend with a 220-point margin, he will clinch the award, earning $20,000. 15-year-old Crews has earned four victories this season: NOLA Motorsports Park, Detroit Grand Prix Race 1, Road America and Watkins Glen International.

 

The Newest Young Guns

This weekend will see the Trans Am Series debut of two drivers, both Young Guns in the Big Machine Vodka SPIKED Coolers TA2 Series. 22-year-old Grant Palmer in the No. 10 BC Race Cars Ford Mustang and 19-year-old Jace Denmark in the No. 87 3-Dimensional Services Group Ford Mustang will both be making their first starts in the series, but already have a great deal of racing experience and accolades.

 

St. Louis local Palmer is the 2020 SCCA Super Tour FX Class champion and competed in the 2021 Road to Indy Series (now USF Pro Championships) development program with Exclusive Autosport in USF2000. Palmer got his start racing at the age of 14 in karts and was Vice Champion in both local and regional series by the age of 15.

 

Denmark is an Arizona native that has been racing for more than 13 years, also getting his start in karts. In 2022, he finished third in a tight three-way fight for the Road to Indy USF2000 Championship, winning races on the Streets of Toronto, at Road America, the St. Petersburg Grand Prix and Portland International Raceway.

 

22-year-old Dean Thompson in the No. 80 Nitro Motorsports Ford Mustang will be making his second-career TA2 start. He currently competes full-time in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and part-time in the ARCA Menards Series. Thompson has made two starts on the World Wide Technology Raceway oval in the Truck Series.

 

TA2 Rookie Race

The rookie battle between Austin Green in the No. 89 3-Dimensional Services Group Ford Mustang and Thad Moffitt in the No. 43 Safety-Kleen/SLR-M1 Racecars Chevrolet Camaro remains tight, as the two sit just 52 points apart. Both drivers have career-best finishes of second, with Green earning runner-up results at both Sebring International Raceway and Watkins Glen International, and Moffitt scoring his second-place finish in Race 2 of the Detroit Grand Prix.

 

News & Notes

After returning to the track in Trans Am’s last outing, Michele Abbate in the No. 30 Ghost Energy/Lucas Oil/Nitro Ford Mustang earned her best finish of the season, 12th, at Watkins Glen.

 

Owner of Mike Cope Race Cars, Mike Cope, will see his son Travis Cope hit the track for the first time this season in the No. 52 Mike Cope Race Cars Ford Mustang.
