The Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli is the longest-running professional road race series in the United States. The Trans Am Series was founded by racing factory pony cars in the late 1960s. More than 50 years after their launch, Mustangs, Camaros and Challengers continue to be sold today, with Trans Am racing credited as playing a major role in their success and longevity. The SpeedTour will host the professional race series at 19 events nationwide in 2023. 


 

Helio Meza Wins in CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series Debut at COTA

Jared Odrick Clinches Pro/Am Challenge Title with Victory

Kyle Kelley Wins in Western Championship

AUSTIN, Texas (November 2, 2025) – The CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series season finale at Circuit of The Americas was the most exciting of the year, with multiple changes for the lead and tight battles within the top five. Following a heated battle with Australian TA2 Champion Nathan Herne, it was 17-year-old Helio Meza who took the win in his Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli debut when the checkered flag waved at the Mission Foods COTA SpeedTour.

 

When the green flag waved, first-place starter Meza checked out in his No. 27 Alessandros Racing/Chevrolet/SLR-M1 Chevrolet Camaro, accruing a nearly six-second lead by lap 10. However, fifth-place starter Nathan Herne (No. 15 Owosso Speedway/Blue Gold Industries Toyota Camry) had worked his way into the runner-up position, and began to chip away at Meza’s lead as he set faster and faster lap times. Meanwhile, Tristan McKee had worked his way up from a 15th-place starting spot in class, and was challenging third-place Thomas Merrill (No. 26 HP Tuners/Franklin Road Chevrolet Camaro) and fourth-place Brody Goble (No. 69 Brown Bros. Ford Lincoln Ford Mustang).

 

On lap 18, Herne was able to complete the pass on Meza, but by lap 20, Meza had reclaimed the first position. The fight between Merrill, Goble and McKee was wild, with McKee finally passing both to take over third. A few laps later, Herne experienced a fuel-pump issue and was forced to retire, moving McKee into the runner-up spot. Goble held tight to his rear bumper, while Merrill was passed by Sam Corry (No. 70 Nitro Motorsports Toyota Camry). Once settled, the top five remained the same until the checkered flag waved, with Meza claiming his first-career victory. After clinching the TA2 Championship at Barber Motorsports Park last month, McKee finished second, and Goble rounded out the podium in his first National start. Corry finished fourth, and Merrill finished fifth.

 

Notes of Interest:

  • Helio Meza took the checkered flag in his first-career start in the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series. He was driving the No. 27 for TeamSLR in honor of Barry Boes, which is also the number Meza drove to Rookie of the Year honors in the Mazda MX-5 Cup this season.
  • Today marked the seventh-consecutive victory for TeamSLR. Meza joins Champion Tristan McKee, Mike Skeen and Carson Brown as drivers who have won for the team this season.
  • Three different nationalities were represented on the Pro podium today, with winner Helio Meza a Houston, Texas native of Mexican descent, Tristan McKee from the United States and Brody Goble from Canada.
  • All three Pro podium finishers were behind the wheel of M1 Racecars chassis, as was Pro/Am Challenge winner Jared Odrick.
  • Tristan McKee came from the back of the pack to finish second after missing the practice session that determined the starting order in today’s race. McKee was racing in the ARCA Menards Series West season finale at Phoenix Raceway, finishing fourth in that event. Carson Brown also started in the back after finishing second in Phoenix. Brown ultimately finished 12th in class today. 
  • Brody Goble finished on the podium in his first-career National Championship start. Goble is a two-time champion in the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series Western Championship, winning his second title this season. He is the first driver to win two Western TA2 titles.
  • With his win today, Jared Odrick clinched the Pro/Am Challenge title over Keith Prociuk. After retiring from his career as a defensive end in the NFL, Odrick turned to motor racing. This is his second season in the class and first title. Odrick won four races this year en route to the championship.
  • Kyle Kelley took the victory in the Western Championship race, scoring his second-consecutive win at COTA and the third win of his career.

 

“I don't even know where to start,” said Meza. “I'm just super grateful for this opportunity. I remember walking around in the paddock and seeing my buddy Connor Zilisch race two years ago, and I didn't know if I'd get the opportunity to be racing in the series. I’m super grateful to be on the other side of the net, behind the wheel, and wouldn't think I'd be in Victory Lane here. I can't thank Chevrolet, Josh Wise and Scott Lagasse Racing enough. Thank you to all my family who came out. I'm from Houston, Texas, so a lot of my family is here. Family, friends, and people that I grew up racing with, as well. There are so many people that make it possible for me to be where I'm at today, so couldn't be more grateful, and I can't wait to see what's in the future.”

As the tightest championship battle going into this weekend, lots was weighing on the results of the Pro/Am Challenge race. Fortunately for Jared Odrick, who came into this weekend nine points behind Keith Prociuk, the day went entirely in his favor. Odrick started second in his No. 00 Black Underwear/CoolBoxx Chevrolet Camaro, but took over the lead from John Atwell (No. 02 XRC/DFW Concrete/AJ Lab Portal Ford Mustang) on lap three. Once he had the point position, Odrick never looked back, leading the remainder of the race. Austin local Atwell finished second, and Prociuk (No. 9 HP Tuners/Cope Race Cars Ford Mustang) crossed the finish line third. With his victory, Odrick earned the Pro/Am Challenge title.

 

“This title means the world to me,” said Odrick. “I'm super thankful for the competitors that are up here, especially Keith [Prociuk]. You know, we battled all year, and right now I'm also thinking a lot of [the late] Barry Boes. He was really smoking a lot of competitors at the beginning of the year, and he really stepped up his game and made us step up our game, too. I'm super thankful for him. I want to say thank you to TRB Autosport for supporting me all year. We have a great relationship, and Troy [Benner] has been awesome. I'm learning so much from him. I've learned so much from Evan Slater, my coach all year. And then another part-time coach is Mike Skeen. And then this race, here in Texas, I was able to work with Scott Adams and really lay down laps that we're really proud of. I'm super thankful for his presence, too. And to my wife, Kristel, she has been the best. Thank you to Black Underwear and CoolBoxx, they've been supporting me all year, and will hopefully support me in the future. I'm just so thankful for this series.”

Starting second in class, Mia Lovell (No. 40 Nitro Motorsports Toyota Camry) quickly passed first-place starter Seamus McKendree (No. 20 Nitro Motorsports Ford Mustang) and led the first 14 laps of the race. Behind her, McKendree spun his car, resulting in him falling to the back of the running order. On lap 15, Lovell suffered from power steering issues, forcing her early retirement. This allowed third-place starter Kyle Kelley (No. 80 UPR.com/PKK Motorsports Ford Mustang) to inherit the lead, which he maintained until the checkered flag, earning his first victory of the season and second in a row at Circuit of The Americas.

 

“Today was a whole lot of staying out of trouble the best you could, and trying not to get too aggressive,” said Kelley. “We had a small incident down the straightaway, but I think both parties involved there managed. Toward the end of the race, we started trying to catch some of the National guys to see what we could do. I think we were in the mid to high 13s on the last couple laps of the race; the car was feeling good, and we were just going for it.”

Matthew Brabham Comes From Last to Win at COTA Season Finale, Menard Wins Second TA Championship



Joshua Carlson Earns Eighth SGT Win of 2025, Rene Molina Jr. Wins SGT Western, Jake Latham Victorius for First Time in GT, Jon DeGaynor Best in GT1 Challenge

AUSTIN, Texas (November 2, 2025) – Matthew Brabham drove from last to first in the final Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli TA/GT race of the 2025 season at Circuit of The Americas. After starting last in class in the Mission Foods COTA SpeedTour, the raw speed of Brabham’s No. 16 Gym Weed Ford Mustang allowed him to make his way to the front of the field just after the race’s halfway point, battling past first-place starter Paul Menard and second-place starter Adam Andretti. From there, Brabham cruised to victory, claiming the win by a 15-second margin. While Brabham took the race win, Menard took the ultimate prize, claiming his second-consecutive TA championship in just his second full-time season.

 

In the closing laps, the best battle was between championship contenders Menard (No. 3 Pittsburgh Paints/Menards Ford Mustang) and Andretti (No. 17 Top Liner Chevrolet Camaro), who swapped positions multiple times in the final five laps. Ultimately, it was Andretti who would take the runner-up spot, followed by Menard. Tomy Drissi (No. 8 Trench Shoring Co./Motul Chevrolet Camaro) finished fourth, and Simon Gregg (No. 59 Drissi Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro) finished fifth in his first race since 2022.

 

Notes of Interest:

  • The battle between Paul Menard and Adam Andretti came down to the final round, but as Menard took the green flag in today’s race, he officially clinched the title, earning his second TA championship.
  • Matthew Brabham came from the back to win in the season finale. Brabham was filling in for team owner Chris Dyson, who had a family emergency.
  • Brabham started last in class due to issues in the weekend’s practice session, which set the starting grid when qualifying was canceled for lightning.
  • This was Brabham’s third win in five starts this season, and second victory filling in for his team owner in 2025. Adam Andretti finished second, claiming his 10th podium finish of the season.
  • Proving just how tight the championship battle has been all year, third-place finisher Paul Menard also earned his 10th podium of the season in today’s finale.

 

“A huge thank you to Gym Weed, our sponsor; these energy drinks are really delicious, and they look good on the livery,” said Brabham. “Thank you to [team owner] Chris Dyson. It's always an honor to drive his car in his stead. Thanks to all the guys at Dyson Racing, they put together such a fast car. These are the best cars in the U.S., they're so much fun to drive, and just as fun to race. Big thanks to all the competitors. It was fun racing with all these guys in the series. Lastly, thanks to my family: mom and dad, they're here to support me, and thanks to Brumby and Kim back at home. Cheers.”

Coffey finished second, and Patrick Utt (No. 49 RaceQuip/Driven Racing Oil Chevrolet Camaro) finished third.

 

“The race was fun, I had a lot of fun racing with Chris Coffey in the Ferrari, and I really hope I get to race with him again in the future,” said Carlson. “I'd just like to thank my sponsors and my family for all their support this year. My championship wouldn't have been possible without them, and neither would this race win. Thank you to Trans Am for putting on such a good show, and thank all the fans for coming out.

The CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series race will also see two new faces, welcoming Helio Meza (No. 27 Alessandros Racing/Chevrolet/SLR-M1 Chevrolet Camaro) to Pro and Frank Widmoser (No. 22 Xline Race Cars Ford Mustang) to the Pro/Am Challenge.

 

Making Wishes Come True

This weekend at COTA, CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series competitor Bob Accardo (No. 39 Guthrie’s Garage/Race Marketing Ford Mustang) and his team will be hosting a 17-year-old Michael and his family from the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Michael was a very athletic and active kid growing up, who was never sick. In seventh grade, he started getting sick with recurring pneumonia. After two years of continuous illness, Michael visited a doctor to see if he had an autoimmune disorder, and after several tests, it was discovered that he had stage 4 Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. It was also discovered that he had developed cancer from Tularemia, a rare bacteria found in rodents. For more than two years, he went through chemo treatment, also receiving a stem cell transplant in the summer of 2024. During this whole process, Michael has managed to stay in the top 10 of his class, play basketball, football and run track.

 

Join the Checkered Flag Challenge

The SpeedTour Sim Trailer will be on site at Circuit of The Americas, and drivers and fans alike can test their driving skills in the Checkered Flag Challenge, a sim racing face-off. With the experience free to all spectators and participants, everyone is invited to stop by the SpeedTour Sim Trailer to try the SimShop racing simulators and spin the prize wheel to win free swag. It will all be happening in the SpeedTour Town Center in the lower paddock near the Media Center and podium.

Menard Clinching at COTA

The TA championship fight has been an exciting one, shaping up as the closest battle in recent class history. Paul Menard (No. 3 Pittsburgh Paints/Menards Ford Mustang) holds a slim 43-point edge over Adam Andretti (No. 17 Top Liner Chevrolet Camaro) heading into the season finale. Andretti made a valiant effort at claiming his first Trans Am title, capturing his first win of the season in Trans Am’s inaugural race at Barber Motorsports Park. However, with the current points discrepancy and the number of entrants in Sunday’s event, the title is out of Andretti’s grasp if Menard takes the green flag. Once Menard starts the race, he will officially become a two-time champion in the TA class.

 

The Fight For Third

With first and second all but decided in TA, the biggest battle still remaining in the class is the fight for third in the standings. 2009 TA champion Tomy Drissi (No. 8 Trench Shoring Co./Motul Chevrolet Camaro), who has won at COTA in the Western Championship, currently occupies the third spot, but three-time champ Chris Dyson (No. 16 Gym Weed Ford Mustang) lurks just two points behind, and has two National wins at the Austin circuit. While Drissi has been consistent throughout the season, claiming three podium finishes and nine top fives, Dyson has made a dramatic comeback from a crash in the Sebring season opener, which took him out of the car at Road Atlanta, and bounced back from the bottom of the standings to score three wins on his way up to fourth. Drissi has finished in the top three in points every year since 2020, while Dyson’s top-three streak dates back to when he first started racing full time in 2018. Whoever breaks their streak will be decided when the checkered flag falls on Sunday. 

 

An Old Friend Returns

For the first time since 2022, 2012 TA champion Simon Gregg returns to the Trans Am Series. A fixture in the series for a decade and a half, Gregg will get behind the wheel of the No. 59 Drissi Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro owned by fellow title winner Tomy Drissi. Competing full time in the TA class from 1998 until 2021, Gregg has earned four victories in 206 starts. Gregg has seven previous starts at COTA, with a best finish of fourth in 2016.

 

A Home Race and a Step Up

For the second season in a row, Chris Coffey has handily clinched GT title, locking up the championship this season with multiple races to spare. The Murphy, Texas native is also one to watch this weekend, as he has won every GT race that he has entered at his home track since his Trans Am debut in 2022, in addition to driving to Victory Lane at COTA in NASA and SCCA events. But this weekend will look a bit different for Coffey, as he leaves behind his GT-class Maserati and steps into the No. 97 Norwood Auto Italia/Traffic Grafix Ferrari 458 Challenge to make his SGT debut. Only time will tell if this leads to him stepping up into the class full time next year, but it will be exciting to watch him take on the new challenge.

 

XGT and SGT Champs Crowned

In addition to GT, the XGT and SGT champions have already been crowned, with Kaylee Bryson clinching her first XGT championship in the penultimate round at Barber Motorsports Park, and Joshua Carlson (No. 36 Enseva/Diercks Ltd./TC Fab Ford Mustang) wrapping up his title even earlier at VIRginia International Raceway. For Carlson, it’s his first-career championship, while Bryson became the first female driver to win titles in two different Trans Am classes. Carlson scored his first-career victory one year ago at COTA, so he hopes to finish his season on a high note, capping off a year in which he has already tallied seven wins.

 

GT1’s Winner

Jon DeGaynor will clinch the inaugural GT1 Challenge title when he takes the green flag in his No. 04 Speed Dream’n Racing Ford Mustang on Sunday. DeGaynor is also a past-winner at COTA, claiming a previous victory at the track in the Sportscar Vintage Racing Association (SVRA), earning one of the series’ coveted Bell Gold Helmets in 2018. In addition to his Trans Am duties, DeGaynor will once again be competing in SVRA this weekend, piloting the No. 111 1960 Devin Evolution in Group 6.

 

TA Cup Wrapped Up

Following the Western Championship doubleheader at Thunderhill Raceway Park, the first-ever TA Cup championship has been decided. Coming off of a five-race winning streak, Ken Sutherland (No. 85 Kallberg Racing Dodge Challenger) has clinched the title for the class, which is in its first season of competition. John Moore, who won in the TA Cup’s debut at Buttonwillow Raceway Park in his No. 27 JM Environmental Ford Mustang, finished second in the points, and Ken Thwaits (No. 9 Franklin Road Chevrolet Camaro) is third in the standings.

Complete Western Championship Standings: View

The Youngest and the First

A victory in the Trans Am Series’ inaugural visit to Barber Motorsports Park was enough for Tristan McKee (No. 28 Spire/Gainbridge/SLR-M1 Chevrolet Camaro) to clinch the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series championship in the penultimate round, making him the youngest title holder in Trans Am history at 15 years, two months and 16 days. The clinch also earned him Rookie of the Year honors and the Sunoco Race Fuels Young Gun Award, which comes with a $20,000 prize, making him the first driver to earn all three titles in the same season.

 

Two-Time Goble

With a victory in Race 2 at Thunderhill Raceway Park, Brody Goble (No. 69 Brown Bros. Ford Lincoln Ford Mustang) clinched his second-career title in the Western Championship’s CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series, becoming the first driver to claim two TA2 titles since the West Coast series’ inception in 2017. This weekend, he’ll make his National Championship debut, officially competing against National drivers for the first time since joining the Trans Am Series in 2022. While he’s never been scored against them before, Goble has shown that he has what it takes to compete against the big boys, as he finished second overall in the combination event held earlier this year at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, outrunning every National competitor besides race winner Rafa Matos

 

Pro/Am Challenge Down to the Final Laps

With the National and Western Championship title winners already decided, the most exciting CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series championship hunt of the season is the Pro/Am Challenge. HP Tuners co-owner and CEO Keith Prociuk (No. 9 HP Tuners/Cope Race Cars Ford Mustang) leads former NFL player Jared Odrick (No. 00 Black Underwear/CoolBoxx Chevrolet Camaro) by just nine points heading into this weekend’s race. Only a driver’s top-nine finishes contribute to the title, so the scoring is more complicated than whoever scores more points. With their lowest finishes thus far already dropped coming into COTA, their next worst result will be eliminated depending on the finishing order of Sunday’s race. As it stands, if Prociuk finishes third or better, his next dropped race would be a third-place finish, worth 93 points, while if Odrick finishes fifth or better, his next worst result would be fifth, worth 90 points. Both drivers come into the weekend with three victories this season.

 

TeamSLR Doing Double Duty

Two TeamSLR drivers will be doing double duty this weekend, commuting between COTA and the NASCAR and ARCA season finales at Phoenix Raceway. Tristan McKee and Carson Brown (No. 2 PayCafe/Ebb Logistics/SLR-M1 Toyota Camry) will begin the weekend in Phoenix, competing on Friday and Saturday in the ARCA Menards Series West finale in a pair of Chevrolets. McKee will be behind the wheel of the same Spire Motorsports No. 77 that he drove to Victory Lane in his ARCA debut at Watkins Glen, while Brown will be in the Pinnacle Racing Group No. 28. Racing on Saturday at 12:45 p.m. CT, they will then hop on the Spire jet for the two-hour flight from the Goodyear (Ariz.) Airport to Austin Bergstrom in an attempt to make it in time for TA2 National qualifying at 6:10 p.m. CT. While McKee made a TA2 start at COTA in 2024, this will be a particular challenge for Brown, who will make his first laps at the track in time trials.

 

A New Face Paying Tribute

This weekend will see the debut of another TeamSLR driver from the Chevrolet driver development program, 17-year-old Helio Meza (No. 27 Alessandros Racing/Chevrolet/SLR-M1 Chevrolet Camaro). The Houston native comes from Mazda MX-5 Cup, where he just closed out his rookie season, finishing fifth overall in the standings and claiming Rookie of the Year. The three-time national karting champion is also a two-time winner in the NASCAR Mexico Challenge Series this year, victorious in Monterrey and Mexico City. Meza is driving the No. 27, the car number left behind by the late Barry Boes, as the team pays tribute to the driver. It’s a perfect fit, as Meza utilized the same number in MX-5 Cup.

 

Corry a COTA Winner

With the current number of entrants this weekend, Sam Corry (No. 70 Nitro Motorsports Toyota Camry) has all but clinched second in the standings over third-place Adrian Wlostowski (No. 3 CMI/Spot-On Services/AMT Motorsports Ford Mustang). While his finish this weekend won’t change where he sits in the standings, he does have one goal for this weekend: Going back to back. Corry made his Trans Am Series debut last season in the COTA finale, competing in the Pro/Am Challenge for Nitro Motorsports. He impressively claimed the victory in his debut, beating out veterans like Barry Boes, Keith Prociuk and Tom Sheehan. With one win this season at Lime Rock Park and consistent results all year, nothing would be better than closing out 2025 the same way he did in 2024: With a win.

First Time For Everything

The Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli heads into the penultimate round of the 2025 season at a track the series has never visited in its 59-year history: Barber Motorsports Park. Located in Birmingham, Alabama, the 2.38-mile road course opened in 2003 and is known for being a challenging and scenic track, with technical corners, rapid transitions and rollercoaster-like elevation changes. The beautifully-maintained facility is also known for its world-class Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum. Fans attending the race and watching at home will be treated to a Trans Am doubleheader, as both the TA/GT classes and CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series will compete on Sunday in an action-packed day of racing. With no testing and few drivers with past experience, adapting quickly is crucial on a weekend when championships are on the line.

 

Welcome to Trans Am

This weekend’s races at Barber Motorsports Park will see the Trans Am Series debut of four different drivers. In the GT class, Jake Latham (No. 27 Coffey Motorsports/Traffic Grafix Maserati MC GT4) will join the series as a third entry on Chris Coffey’s Norwood Auto Italia team.

 

In the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series, three drivers will be making their first-career start. Jake Bollman (No. 75 Guy M. Turner/Waukegan Farms Chevrolet Camaro) joins Silver Hare Racing, while Ethan Ayars (No. 80 Nitro Motorsports Ford Mustang) will make his debut with Nitro Motorsports. Finally, Norwegian driver Andreas Nilsson will make his first-career start in the No. 93 TeamTrysil.com Chevrolet Camaro. This weekend will be the first National Championship effort for Team Trysil, which recently began competing in the Western Championship earlier this year with driver Stein Frederic Akre.


 

Meet the TA2 Drivers

Fans attending the race this weekend will have the opportunity to meet the stars of the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series at an autograph session on Saturday from 3:00-3:30 p.m. local time. The meet and greet, which will be held at the SpeedTour Sim Trailer in the paddock near the frontstretch, will be one of the last opportunities this season to pick up the 2025 Trans Am Series poster.

 

Join the Checkered Flag Challenge

The SpeedTour Sim Trailer will be on site at Barber Motorsports Park, and drivers and fans alike can test their driving skills in the Checkered Flag Challenge, a sim racing face-off. With the experience free to all spectators and participants, everyone is invited to stop by the SpeedTour Sim Trailer to try the SimShop racing simulators and spin the prize wheel to win free swag.

The Championship Race Continues

The TA championship race this season has been the tightest in recent history, with Paul Menard (No. 3 Pittsburgh Paints/Menards Ford Mustang) and Adam Andretti (No. 17 TOP LINER Chevrolet Camaro) still neck and neck. Just 46 points separate the 2024 champion and current points leader Menard from Andretti, who has been racing in Trans Am since 2013 but has yet to win a title. While the race remains close, Menard has the clear edge when it comes to statistics, as he has five victories, while GYM WEED Winners Circle has eluded Andretti this season. But with a brand-new track on deck this weekend, anything can happen.

 

Dyson Matches Mark Donohue

When Chris Dyson (No. 16 GYM WEED Ford Mustang) drove from last to first in Trans Am’s last outing at VIRginia International Raceway, the three-time champion earned his 29th victory, tying him with fellow Trans Am Hall of Fame inductee Mark Donohue for the second most TA class wins. He now sits just two victories away from win-list leader Paul Gentilozzi, who has 31-career victories. With two races remaining this season, a strong finish to the season could tie him at the top of the list by Circuit of The Americas.

 

Dyson has an advantage in his favor, as he is one of only a handful of competitors who have previous experience at Barber Motorsports Park, racing there twice in his career. He has a 2003 start in the Grand-Am Cup, and in 2015, he represented Bentley in the Pirelli World Challenge Series at the Alabama track.

 

Father and Son Experience

With more than 500 races completed in his career, there aren’t many places that 2022 SGT champion Milton Grant (No. 55 Sentry Self Storage/Springhill Suites Porsche 991.1) hasn’t driven. Coming into this weekend, Milton and his son Carey Grant (No. 6 Grant Racing 2 Porsche GT3 Cup) both bring past Barber experience. The Alabama track is just three and a half hours away from their Tennessee home, and in 2008, the pair shared a Porsche GT3 Cup ride in the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series.

 

Wlostowski Doing Double Duty

This weekend, the Trans Am Series is holding both its TA/GT class and CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series races on the same day, with just a few hours separating the end of the first 100-mile race and the beginning of the second. Despite the challenge, one driver on this weekend’s entry list is brave enough to do double duty: Adrian Wlostowski. Wlostowski will get behind the wheel of the No. 9 CMI/F.A.S.T. Auto/Howe Racing Howe HR6 for his GT class debut, then pilot his regular entry in the No. 3 CMI/Spot-On Services/AMT Motorsports Ford Mustang in the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series. 

 

Kaylee Bryson About to Make History

By taking the green flag this weekend, Kaylee Bryson will clinch the 2025 XGT championship. As the 2024 SGT champion, the XGT title will make her the first female driver to win championships in two different classes, and just the second woman in series history to claim two championships. TA’s Amy Ruman (No. 23 McNichols Co./Valley Automotive Group Chevrolet Corvette) was the first, winning back-to-back titles in 2015 and 2016. Bryson has earned two victories this season at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course and Road America, and has finished on the podium in all but one start this season.

 

GT and SGT Championships Clinched

As of the series’ last outing at VIRginia International Raceway, both the SGT and GT championships have both been decided for 2025. SGT’s Joshua Carlson (No. 36 Enseva/Diercks Ltd./TC Fab Ford Mustang) clinched his first-career Trans Am title, and Chris Coffey (No. 97 Norwood Auto Italia/Traffic Grafix Maserati MC GT4) earned his second-consecutive GT championship. Both drivers have had stunning displays of dominance this season, with Carlson claiming seven-consecutive victories and Coffey tallying six wins in just seven starts.

Sunoco to Sponsor Young Gun Award

It was just announced that Sunoco Race Fuels, the Official Racing Fuel Sponsor of SpeedTour, will sponsor the 2025 Young Gun Award. The Sunoco Race Fuels Young Gun Award will reward the season’s top points earner under the age of 25 in the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series with a $20,000 cash prize at Trans Am’s year-end awards gala. The Young Gun Award was introduced in 2022 as a way to foster competition between the series’ young, up-and-coming drivers, and it has since become one of the most highly-contested titles in the series, as the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series is a proving ground for young talent.

 

TeamSLR’s Win Streak Continues

TeamSLR enters this weekend’s race at Barber on a five-race win streak, with the team standing atop the podium at every CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series race since Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in June. Championship points leader Tristan McKee (No. 28 Spire/Gainbridge/SLR-M1 Chevrolet Camaro) started the winning spree at Mid-Ohio, while also taking the checkered flag at Watkins Glen International and Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. Mike Skeen drove to victory at Road America in a podium sweep for the team, while 17-year-old Carson Brown earned his first-career win in the series’ last outing at VIR.

 

This weekend’s race will see the return of 19-year-old Corey Day to the TeamSLR stable, as he gets back behind the wheel of the No. 17 HendrickCars.com/SLR-M1Racecars Chevrolet Camaro for the fifth time this season. Day would like nothing more than to be the fourth different driver to visit Victory Lane and extend the team’s winning streak this weekend. Day is coming off of back-to-back NASCAR Xfinity Series races at the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL and Las Vegas Motor Speedway, finishing a career-best fourth at the latter track.


 

McKee’s Chance to Clinch and Make History

With a 152-point advantage coming into this weekend’s event, CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series points leader Tristan McKee (No. 28 Spire/Gainbridge/SLR-M1 Chevrolet Camaro) has the opportunity to clinch the title at Barber. With an eighth-place finish or better, McKee can claim the championship regardless of where title rival Sam Corry (No. 70 Nitro Motorsports Toyota Camry) finishes in Sunday’s event. Earning additional points for qualifying or leading laps offers McKee even more flexibility with his result.

 

Should McKee claim the title, he would become the youngest champion in the history of the Trans Am Series at 15 years, two months and 16 days old, besting current record holder Brent Crews by more than four months. He would also become the first driver to capture the championship, Sunoco Race Fuels Young Gun Award and Rookie of the Year honors in the same season.

 

In addition to preparing for this weekend’s event at Barber, McKee has stayed busy since the checkered flag waved at VIR. The Chevrolet Motorsports development driver, who is under contract with NASCAR’s Spire Motorsports, won a Late Model Stock heat race during the NASCAR Regional Series event on September 28 at Martinsville Speedway, and finished third in the ARCA Menards Series season finale at Toledo Speedway on October 4.

 

Corry Comes with Barber Experience

At a track where the Trans Am Series has never raced before, Sam Corry (No. 70 Nitro Motorsports Toyota Camry) heads into Barber Motorsports Park with something most drivers don’t have: experience. The 17 year old raced at the track in USF Juniors in 2022, earning a second-place finish in Race 1. Corry is the only driver in Sunday’s field who can come between Tristan McKee and the 2025 championship. Sitting 152 points behind McKee, Corry, who scored one race win this season at Lime Rock Park, will have to gain the maximum points available and hope that the bad luck McKee experienced at VIRginia International Raceway carries through to Barber.

 

Matt Griffin a Winner

Another driver with experience on his side this weekend is CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series Pro/Am Challenge contender Matt Griffin. The driver of the No. 67 Griffin Concrete Construction Chevrolet Camaro has a past victory at the track in SCCA.

 

Jake Bollman Joins Silver Hare

Silver Hare Racing is adding 18-year-old Jake Bollman to their roster for this weekend’s inaugural event at Barber Motorsports Park. Bollman will pilot the No. 75 Guy M. Turner/Waukegan Farms Chevrolet Camaro after recently testing with the team at VIRginia International Raceway. Bollman competes in the ARCA Menards Series West with Bill McAnally Racing, and also races in the CARS Tour. He recently made history as the first Armenian-American stock car racer to win a NASCAR-sanctioned event, capturing his first-career ARCA victory earlier this season at Colorado National Speedway.


 

Silver Hare Racing recently tested at Barber with Noah Harmon (No. 7 Streetside Classics/Flanagan’s Chevrolet Camaro) to prepare for this weekend’s event. Harmon scored his first-career podium finish in Trans Am’s last outing at VIR, an especially emotional moment for the team after the loss of hauler driver Mark “Rocket” Metcalfe, who passed away prior to the race.

 

Tyler Kicera in Champion’s Seat

Tyler Kicera returns to the driver’s seat this weekend at Barber, but he won’t be in the Nitro Motorsports ride he drove for two starts this season, including a runner-up finish at Watkins Glen. Kicera will be driving the No. 26 HP Tuners/Franklin Road/Cope Chevrolet Camaro for Mike Cope Racing, getting behind the wheel of the car that has primarily been driven by 2022 champion Thomas Merrill this season. When he isn’t driving, Kicera serves as a driver coach at Nitro Motorsports, which utilizes Mike Cope chassis, making him a perfect fit for the ride.

 

Annunziata Returns

When he started off the season with back-to-back victories, Thomas Annunziata immediately became the favorite for the 2025 title. But while sitting second in the standings, Annunziata took a two-race hiatus to focus on his NASCAR and ARCA efforts. Annunziata returns to Trans Am this weekend to race with Nitro Motorsports, but he’ll have a new number, getting behind the wheel of the No. 10 Nitro Motorsports Toyota Camry instead of his familiar No. 90.

 

Pro/Am Challenge Title Hunt Tightens

Jared Odrick (No. 00 Black Underwear/CoolBoxx Chevrolet Camaro) continues to lead the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series Pro/Am Challenge standings, but his advantage over Keith Prociuk (No. 9 HP Tuners/Cope Race Cars Ford Mustang) has tightened to just six points now that one of his starts has been eliminated from his points total. Only a driver’s top-nine finishes contribute to the title, and now that Odrick has completed 10 events, his 11th-place finish at Watkins Glen has been eliminated. This puts him on even ground with Prociuk, who missed the race at Laguna Seca earlier this season and has only made nine starts. Now that both competitors, who each have three victories this season, are narrowed to nine races, the closeness of the race is evident and every point counts in the final two events.

Official Racing Fuel Sponsor of SpeedTour to Award $20,000 to TA2’s Top-Performing Driver Under 25

CHARLOTTE (October 14, 2025) — The Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli is pleased to announce that Sunoco Race Fuels, the Official Racing Fuel Sponsor of SpeedTour, will sponsor the 2025 Young Gun Award. The Sunoco Race Fuels Young Gun Award will reward the season’s top points earner under the age of 25 in the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series with a $20,000 cash prize at Trans Am’s year-end awards gala.

 

The Young Gun Award was introduced in 2022 as a way to foster competition between the series’ young, up-and-coming drivers, and it has since become one of the most highly-contested titles in the series, as the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series is a proving ground for young talent.

 

In 2022 and 2023, the prize was awarded to 2023 CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series champion Brent Crews, who has since gone on to win races in the ARCA Menards Series, in addition to forming his own NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series team. Crews has tallied 11 victories in the Trans Am Series, and his 2023 championship earned him the title of youngest champion in Trans Am Series history.

 

Thomas Annunziata was the recipient of the $20,000 prize in 2024. Annunziata has four Trans Am victories, and has also gone on to find Victory Lane in the ARCA Menards Series. He has made nearly twenty starts between the NASCAR Xfinity and NASCAR Truck Series, and has claimed a full-time ARCA ride for 2026.

 

The 2025 Sunoco Race Fuels Young Gun Awards standings are currently being led by 15-year-old superstar Tristan McKee, who has three victories so far this season. McKee leads the point standings in the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series and also tops the Rookie of the Year points. Should he clinch the TA2 title, he would dethrone Crews as Trans Am’s youngest champion, while also becoming the first driver in history to win the championship, Young Gun Award and Rookie of the Year honors in the same season. However, McKee still faces steep competition from second-place Sam Corry.

 

“I couldn’t be more pleased to have Sunoco sponsor the Sunoco Race Fuels Young Gun Award,” said Trans Am President Andy Lally. “Since its inception, the Young Gun Award has been a barometer for predicting motorsports’ up-and-coming stars. We are proud that the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series has become such an important step in the driver development process, and we are excited to continue to recognize the young talent in our series with the help of long-time SpeedTour partner, Sunoco.”

 

“Sunoco Race Fuels couldn’t be happier to be a part of the Young Gun Award to help build the future of Trans Am,” said Russ Bradford, Sales Manager for Sunoco Performance Products. “With Trans Am being so ingrained in our heritage, as well as our current business, we are just proud to be a part of one of the best racing series in the world. We look forward to continuing our support of the series, as well as the Young Guns of the sport.”

 

The Sunoco Race Fuels Young Gun Award will be presented at the Trans Am awards gala on November 2, following the season finale at Circuit of The Americas. The Trans Am Series next hits the track October 17-19, when the series will make its debut at Barber Motorsports Park with the Barber SpeedTour.

Thundering to the End

The Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli’s Western Championship is back in action for its final standalone event of 2025, a doubleheader at Thunderhill Raceway Park. The Western Championship has been visiting the Willows, California track since 2019, with the checkered flag flying for seven previous features at the venue. Only one race, a combination event with the National Championship at Circuit of The Americas, remains on the schedule after Thunderhill, meaning this weekend’s pair of races will set the stage for the championship battles. 

 

Victorious at Thunderhill

There are two competitors in this weekend’s field who know what it feels like to take the checkered flag at Thunderhill.

 

TA Cup

Michele Nagai, No. 72 Nagai Racing/Berkeley Jet Drive Chevrolet Camaro: 2024 Race 1


 

CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series

JC Meynet, No. 28 B-Bar Ranch/Killer Shrimp/RFR Chevrolet Camaro: 2023 (GT)

 

California Here We Come

There are seven drivers in this weekend’s field from the state of California. The competitors who are closest to home at the Willows, Calif. track are TA Cup drivers John Moore and Michelle Nagai, who are both less than two hours from their hometowns of Roseville and Newcastle, respectively.

 

TA Cup

John Moore, No. 27 JM Environmental Ford Mustang (Roseville)

Michelle Nagai, No. 72 Nagai Racing/Berkeley Jet Drive Chevrolet Camaro (Newcastle)


 

CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series

Tim Lynn, No. 17 Roof Options Ford Mustang (Kentfield)

JC Meynet, No. 28 B-Bar Ranch/Killer Shrimp/RFR Chevrolet Camaro (Woodland Hills)

Brian Lock, No. 44 Helium Mobile Chevrolet Camaro (Santa Cruz)

Tim Carroll, No. 46 CRDMFG.com Chevrolet Camaro (Santa Ana)

Kyle Kelley, No. 80 UPR.com/PKK Motorsports Ford Mustang (Huntington Beach)

 

Goble vs. Lovell

With just two race weekends remaining for Western competitors, it appears that the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series championship will come down to 2023 title winner Brody Goble (No. 69 Brown Bros. Ford Lincoln Ford Mustang) and rookie Mia Lovell (No. 40 Nitro Motorsports Toyota Camry). Goble currently leads the standings by 108 points, giving him a substantial edge going into this weekend’s doubleheader. A 110-point advantage at the conclusion of Sunday’s race would be enough for Goble to clinch the title ahead of the COTA finale in two weeks. If Goble comes out on top, he would become the first two-time CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series Champion in the Western Championship. Both Goble and Lovell have equal footing when it comes to experience at Thunderhill. While Goble competed in the Trans Am Series in both 2022 and 2023, he missed the races at the Willows, California track both years, meaning neither competitor has a past start at the circuit.

 

While third-place Cole Moore (No. 99 Moore Motorsport/JM Environmental Ford Mustang) is only six points behind Lovell in the standings, the driver announced this week that he is out for the remainder of the 2025 season following an arm injury. The battle for the remainder of the top five is still tight, as fourth-place Kyle Kelley (No. 80 UPR.com/PKK Motorsports Ford Mustang) and fifth-place Tim Lynn (No. 17 RoofOptions Ford Mustang) are just one point apart, and Seamus McKendree (No. 20 Nitro Motorsports Ford Mustang) is just 24 points behind Lynn.

 

Sutherland vs. Moore

Much like the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series title hunt, the TA Cup championship is also a two-horse race as the season winds down. Currently leading the points in TA Cup is Ken Sutherland in the No. 85 Kallberg Racing Dodge Challenger, who holds a 48-point advantage over John Moore in the No. 27 JM Environmental Ford Mustang. Sutherland has earned three victories this season at Laguna Seca and the two Portland doubleheader races, and has not finished worse than third this season, while Moore has one victory and four fourth-place finishes.

 

Much like with the TA2 title, the third-place TA Cup competitor will not compete in the final races of the season. Ken Thwaits (No. 9 Franklin Road Chevrolet Camaro) is sitting out the remainder of 2025 to undergo surgery, so despite only being three points behind Moore in the standings, he will not be able to battle for the championship.

 

Welcome Back

Two drivers in the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series are making their first starts of the 2025 season, as Brian Lock (No. 44 Helium Mobile Toyota Camry) and Amir Haleem (No. 66 Helium Mobile Chevrolet Camaro) return to race at Thunderhill this weekend. Lock made his debut in the National Championship’s XGT class in 2024, earning the victory at VIR, while Haleem has one previous start in the National Championship’s TA2 Pro/Am Challenge last season.

 

Meynet a Master at Thunderhill

California native JC Meynet (No. 28 B-Bar Ranch/Killer Shrimp/RFR Chevrolet Camaro) is one of just two drivers in this weekend’s field with a Trans Am victory at Thunderhill Raceway Park, tallying a GT victory at the track in 2023 by finishing an impressive fourth overall. That same season, he captured the GT championship as well as Rookie of the Year honors in the class. Trans Am isn’t the only series where Meynet has found success at Thunderhill, as he still holds track records at the facility in SCCA, Spec Corvette, NASA and USTCC, all scored in the same Corvette that he drove to his GT title.  

 

Meynet also recently acquired another title: ordained minister. Last weekend in Santa Ynez, California, he officiated over the wedding of his oldest son.

 

Godspeed, Barry Boes

Since the Western Championship’s last race at Portland International Raceway, the Trans Am Series has lost National and Western competitor Barry Boes. Racing in the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series since 2019, Boes made 85 starts between the National Championship and Western Championship, tallying nine National Pro/Am Challenge wins and two victories in the Western Championship. Boes won the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series Pro/Am Challenge Championship in 2024 on the strength of seven victories in 12 races, finishing in the top five in every event. Boes had two victories this season, including one combination Pro/Am and Western victory at Sonoma Raceway.

Champions Crowned at Barber

Formula Regional Americas Championship (FR Americas), Formula 4 United States Championship (F4 U.S.) and Ligier Junior Formula Championship (Ligier JFC) contest their final round of the 2025 season at Barber Motorsports Park this weekend. With Ligier JFC making their series debut at the 2.38-mile facility, both FR Americas and F4 U.S. will return to the circuit for the first time since 2020. The three championships will be joined by the Trans Am Series, Sportscar Vintage Racing Association (SVRA) and International GT (IGT) for three days of non-stop racing action. Kids 12 and under are admitted free all weekend, while adult tickets are available now at SpeedTour.net.  

Meet the Drivers of FR Americas, F4 U.S. and Ligier JFC

Fans will have two opportunities to meet the drivers of FR Americas, F4 U.S. and Ligier JFC during the Barber SpeedTour weekend. On Saturday at 11:40 a.m. CT, the drivers of FR Americas and Ligier JFC will host an autograph session at the SpeedTour Sim Trailer in the Paddock. Then, on Sunday, fans will have the opportunity to meet the drivers of F4 U.S., as they host a special pre-race fan walk on Pit Lane at 11:15 a.m. CT. 

Watch Live on SpeedTour.TV

2026 Schedule Revealed

FR Americas, F4 U.S. and Ligier JFC unveiled their 2026 race schedules, mixing some of the most iconic circuits in North America with some of the best training grounds for young talent. Serving as America’s Road to F1, each championship’s calendar will focus on driver development and competition, as FR Americas contests a total of 21 rounds at eight tracks, F4 U.S. provides drivers 18 rounds at seven tracks, and Ligier JFC offers 16 rounds at six tracks. The eight-month season provides young drivers ample track time to develop their skills, while the near-monthly cadence allows their families to balance life on and off the racetrack. Likewise, operating at the lowest cost per mile in North America enables participating drivers to further spread their resources, giving them more opportunities to hone their skills in testing programs while working with some of the top race teams in North America. Ligier JFC, as well as the FIA-certified F4 U.S. and FR Americas, combine to form a powerful driver development ladder. Graduates of the championships have consistently advanced their careers, with alumni among the starting fields of the Indianapolis 500, INDYCAR, FIA Formula 3, IMSA, NASCAR, Super Formula, INDY NXT and more. 

Alumni On The Move

Five alums of the PMH Open Wheel Ladder have recently announced signings for the 2026 season. In INDYCAR, David Malukas, 2020 FR Americas Vice Champion, will join Team Penske as the driver of the No. 12 machine in a multi-year agreement. He’ll face off against Kyle Kirkwood, 2017 F4 U.S. Champion and 2018 FR Americas Champion, who will return to Andretti INDYCAR for the 2026 season. 2022 F4 U.S. Champion Lochie Hughes returns to Andretti’s INDY NXT program for the 2026 season, and in addition, the Australian will serve as the team’s INDYCAR reserve driver. Also returning to INDY NXT is Jordan Missig, who is back with ABEL Motorsports for his sophomore season. Missig competed in FR Americas during the 2020 and 2021 seasons, first visiting Victory Lane at VIRginia International Raceway in 2021. The newest driver announced to join the INDY NXT paddock is Nicolas Stati, the 2024 F4 U.S. Vice Champion and a 2025 FR Americas podium finisher. The Australian will join the newly-rebranded Cusick Morgan Motorsports for his rookie campaign.

Three Enter With a Chance, One Crowned Champion

Continuing his momentum after a weekend sweep at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in August, Titus Sherlock (No. 31 Rayne Nutrition / Ronald McDonald House Charities / Crosslink Motorsports Ligier JS F3) was able to capitalize on a strong weekend at VIRginia International Raceway (VIR) to overtake the championship points lead as FR Americas races toward its final round. Holding a 13.5-point advantage over Nicolas Ambiado (No. 55 Velox USA / Kiwi Motorsport Ligier JS F3), Sherlock left the race weekend as the points leader for the first time since Round 6 at Road America in May. In third, just seven points behind Ambiado and 20.5 points out of the lead, Bruno Ribeiro (No. 01 Alfa Cem / Kiwi Motorsport Ligier JS F3) remains in the title fight, making it a three-man battle. The stakes are high, as the 2025 FR Americas Driver Champion will be awarded a $100,000 cash prize, while second place receives $25,000 and third place takes home $15,000.

Kiwi Locks in Third FR Americas Team Championship

Kiwi Motorsport has locked in their third-consecutive FR Americas Team Championship, though the 2025 title marks their first operating as a solo entity, separate from former partner Crosslink Motorsports. Having won both the team and driver championships in 2023 with Callum Hedge, and 2024 with Patrick Woods-Toth, Kiwi Motorsport hopes to do the same in 2025 by claiming the driver title with either Nicolas Ambiado or Bruno Ribeiro. However, to do so, either driver will have to outperform Titus Sherlock, who hails from the Crosslink Motorsports camp.

Masters Championship Comes Down to Final Round 

With just three points separating Anthony Autiello (No. 07 Hope For The Warriors / Momentum Motorsports Ligier JS F3) and Kevin Janzen (No. 24 US Power Group / Data Center Solutions / Kiwi Motorsport Ligier JS F3), the fight for the Masters Championship title will come down to the final round at Barber Motorsport Park. Autiello currently tops the standings, but it’s been a tight battle all season between the two drivers, as Autiello’s six top-10 finishes perfectly matches Janzen’s effort, as he has also amassed six top-10 finishes. Already a two-time Masters Champion, Janzen is hoping to bring home his third-consecutive title, whereas Autiello is fighting for his first. 

Shipman Moves Up, Prepares for Scholarship Season

Having locked in the F4 U.S. Driver Champion title last month at VIR, Cooper Shipman (No. 14 Kiwi Motorsport Ligier JS F3) is advancing to FR Americas for the final race of the year in hopes of getting a jumpstart on his 2026 season. As the F4 U.S. champion, Shipman earned a full scholarship to compete in FR Americas next season, including the lease of a chassis from Ligier Automotive, an engine from Mountune USA, race tires from Hankook Motorsports and race entries from Parella Motorsports Holdings, for a prize valued at more than $295,000. 

Day Returns to the Grid

Lincoln Day (No. 95 Toney Driver Development Ligier JS F3) is back in the driver’s seat, piloting the No. 95 for Toney Driver Development for the first time since Road America in May. Making six starts so far this season, Day has a career-best finish of fifth, which he recorded in the 2025 season opener at NOLA Motorsports Park. 

Roberts Returns to Site of First Win

In 2020, Connor Roberts (No. 46 Apexspeed.com / Entropy Cellars / Atlantic Racing Team with Team Roberts Ligier JS F3) earned his first car win while racing a Spec-Racer Ford 3 at Barber Motorsports Park. This weekend, he’ll make the 120-mile trek from his home in LaGrange, Ga., with the hope of earning his first FR Americas win. Roberts’ best finish this season is third, which he has recorded three times.

 

Hauanio and Popow Fight to Finish for Vice Championship

Following a record-setting nine-consecutive victories, Cooper Shipman was able to lock down the F4 U.S. Driver Championship with one round to spare. The accomplishment enables the 17 year old to advance to FR Americas for the final round of the 2025 season, to get experience ahead of his expected 2026 campaign. Meanwhile, Kekai Hauanio (No. 29 N-E-Where Transport / Crosslink Motorsports Ligier JS F422) and Alex Popow (No. 55 Dr. Michael Thompson MS DDS PPLS / MLT Motorsports Ligier JS F422) face off against each other in the fight for the Vice Championship, with just 10.5 points separating the rivals. The two drivers have been mainstays at the front of the field since the opening weekend at NOLA where Hauanio won Round 1, followed by Popow taking Rounds 2 and 3. Since then, Hauanio has earned two additional wins and 11 podiums, whereas Popow has notched 10 podiums. With just 50 points left in the season, the Vice Championship is likely to stay undecided until the final checkered flag waves.

Kiwi F4 U.S. Team Champions for Seventh Time

Kiwi Motorsport has clinched their seventh Team Championship title in F4 U.S. competition, marking the third time that the organization has clinched both the driver and team championship in the same season. While Joshua Car (2019) and Patrick Woods-Toth (2023) have carried the flag for dual-championship runs in years past, it was Cooper Shipman who led the charge this season. Shipman combined with teammates Clemente Huerta Raab (No. 17 Velox USA / Kiwi Motorsport Ligier JS F422) and Oliver Savoie (No. 88 YXE Auto / Kiwi Motorsport Ligier JS F422) to earn Kiwi Motorsport nine wins and 18 podiums to date in 2025. This year will mark the first time Kiwi Motorsport earns the championship as a solo organization, as they’ve partnered with Crosslink Motorsports to bring home each of their previous six titles.

Fourie and Paschetta Level Up to F4 U.S.

Ligier JFC alums Zach Fourie (No. 15 Kiwi Motorsport Ligier JS F422) and Augusto Paschetta (No. 27 Scuderia Buell / Sport West / Bruno Maquinaria / Brapax Ligier JS F422) will both graduate to F4 U.S. for the season finale at Barber. Fourie has 10 starts in Ligier JFC this season, competing under both the JENSEN and Kiwi Motorsport banners. His career-best sixth-place finish came in Round 7 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course during his Kiwi Motorsport debut. After six Ligier JFC starts this season, Paschetta and his Scuderia Buell team will take on F4 U.S. The races at Barber will mark Paschetta’s first in America since the Road America SpeedTour in May, when he matched his career-best fourth-place effort in Ligier JFC competition. 

Cottrill Joins MLT

After making his F4 U.S. debut at VIR last month, Jonathan Cottrill (No. 54 MLT Motorsports Ligier JS F422) will join MLT Motorsports for the season finale at Barber this weekend. Looking to improve on his career-best finish of seventh, Cottrill joins Alex Popow (No. 55 Dr. Michael Thompson MS DDS PPLS / MLT Motorsports Ligier JS F422) as teammates under the MLT banner. 

Like Father, Like Son… Popow Looks for Barber Victory

Following in his father’s footsteps, Alex Popow (No. 55 Dr. Michael Thompson MS DDS PPLS / MLT Motorsports Ligier JS F422) hopes to visit Victory Lane at the same track where his dad has also claimed a win. Popow’s father, Alex Popow, Sr., enjoyed a successful sportscar career, racing in the American Le Mans Series, Rolex Sports Car Series and IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship, while obtaining a class victory in the 12 Hours of Sebring, overall wins in the Brickyard Grand Prix and a second-place overall finish in the 24 Hours of Daytona, in addition to winning the 2012 championship in the American Le Mans Series’ LMPC class.  

Powers Goes From the Track to the Open Road

While Luke Powers (No. 51 Corporate Commercial Group / Toney Driver Development Ligier JS F422) has enjoyed the thrill of speed on the racetrack this season, he has yet to experience the thrill of the open road. All that will change on Monday, October 20, when the driver finally celebrates his 16th birthday, making it legal for him to drive off the racetrack. 

 

Irazú and Szuch Go Head to Head for F4 U.S. Scholarship 

Two drivers remain in the hunt for the 2025 Ligier JFC Driver Championship as the series enters its final round of the season—Gastón Irazú (No. 42 Elia Group / Baly / Canal 4 / Ancap / Champagne Racing Ligier JS F4) and Drew Szuch (No. 28 Trend North / TEAM Concept Printing / Berg Racing Ligier JS F4). Szuch won Race 1 at VIR last month to keep his championship hopes alive, while Irazú faced a myriad of obstacles in the event, including a spin while running third and a penalty for a false start. In Race 2, the rivals were involved in the same opening-lap incident, bringing an early end to both of their races and ensuring the championship couldn’t be decided before the final weekend of the year at Barber. With just two checkered flags left, 23 points separate the drivers as Uruguayan Irazú tops the leaderboard and sophomore driver Szuch trails in second. 

The winner of the 2025 Ligier JFC Driver’s Championship will be awarded a scholarship to compete in F4 U.S. next season—including a chassis and engine lease from Ligier Automotive, race tires from Hankook Motorsports and race entries from Parella Motorsports Holdings, in a prize valued at more than $197,000.

Team Championship Battle Comes Down to Barber

Team rivals Champagne Racing and Berg Racing have been neck and neck all season, and now the fight for the 2025 Team Championship will come down to the final round. Entering four drivers in most rounds this season, Champagne Racing has amassed seven wins and 17 podiums, with Gastón Irazú (No. 42 Elia Group / Baly / Canal 4 / Ancap / Champagne Racing Ligier JS F4), Cash Felber (No. 11 BioLongevity Labs / TownHall / Rebol / DWT / Matrix Mind Water / Phantom Fireworks / Champagne Racing Ligier JS F4) and Roman Felber (No. 73 BioLongevity Labs / TownHall / Rebol / DWT / Matrix Mind Water / Phantom Fireworks / Champagne Racing Ligier JS F4) all winning for the organization. The trio also stood atop the podium in Round 11 at New Jersey Motorsports Park to secure the organization’s first podium sweep. 

On the flip side, Berg Racing has been a constant fixture, with both Drew Szuch (No. 28 Trend North / TEAM Concept Printing / Berg Racing Ligier JS F4) and Harbir Dass (No. 23 Northcoast Medical Group / Dubby Energy / Dass Psych LLC / Berg Racing Ligier JS F4) racing under their banner. While Szuch led the way with four victories, Dass also contributed with a multitude of podiums, as the organization tallied 12 top-three finishes this season. Expanding to a four-car team for the final two events of 2025, the fight is on for the Team Champion title, as just 76.5 points separate the two organizations entering the final round.

Benites Returns to Ligier JFC

Pablo Benites Jr. (No. 44 Scuderia Buell Ligier JS F4) returns to the Ligier JFC grid at Barber looking for more hardware. Having made three starts at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course earlier this year, Benites has yet to finish outside the top five, despite having to race through the field multiple times. Steadily improving all weekend, Benites showed consistent speed, driving from 13th to fourth, then sixth to second, and finally, from fourth to first in each of the three rounds. This weekend at Barber, he looks to mix things up with the series regulars once again, as he fights for even more podiums.

FR Americas, F4 U.S. and Ligier Junior Formula Championship Unveil 2026 Schedules

CHARLOTTE (October 1, 2025) – Formula Regional Americas Championship (FR Americas), Formula 4 United States Championship (F4 U.S.) and Ligier Junior Formula Championship (Ligier JFC) have unveiled their 2026 race schedules, mixing some of the most iconic circuits in North America with some of the best training grounds for young talent. Serving as America’s Road to F1, each championship’s calendar will focus on driver development and competition, as FR Americas contests a total of 21 rounds at eight tracks, F4 U.S. provides drivers 18 rounds at seven tracks, and Ligier JFC offers 16 rounds at six tracks. 

“We’re really looking forward to 2026 with FR Americas, F4 U.S. and Ligier JFC,” said Scott Goodyear, Race Director. “With circuits like Canadian Tire Motorsport Park and Barber Motorsports Park included on the schedule, we have some tough tracks that we know will challenge our drivers, and we’ll be able to see them develop over the course of those weekends. Likewise, there are few places in America that hold the same significance as Indianapolis Motor Speedway and racing across the yard of bricks. We incorporated feedback from our community as we built these schedules, and we’re really excited for what’s planned. Each championship continues to deliver great value, with the lowest cost per mile compared to other professional racing series in North America, as well as the other Formula 4 and Formula Regional championships around the globe. Pair that with the impressive wheel-to-wheel competition like we’ve seen year after year, and you’ll find that our series are a superb training ground for young drivers.” 

The 2026 season will open in New Orleans, with NOLA Motorsports Park serving as the backdrop for both a Pre-Season Test and the NOLA SpeedTour weekend. Then, it’s off to Elkhart Lake, Wis., and the famed Road America, where all three championships will host their second event. As summer heats up, everyone will head to Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. After that, FR Americas will race across the yard of bricks on the IMS Road Course at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, as they contest their solo back-to-back run. Then, the three championships will reunite at New Jersey Motorsports Park, before FR Americas and F4 U.S. head north of the border to take on Canadian Tire Motorsport Park over Labor Day weekend. From there, all three series are off to VIRginia International Raceway, before closing out the year and crowning the 2026 champions at Barber Motorsports Park in mid-October. 

The eight-month season will provide young drivers with ample track time to develop their skills, while the near-monthly cadence allows their families to balance life on and off the racetrack. Likewise, operating at the lowest cost per mile in North America allows participating drivers to further spread their resources, giving them more opportunities to hone their skills through track time and testing programs with some of the top race teams in North America. 

With eight FIA-certified tracks on the docket, the variety of circuits prepares drivers to climb the ranks, as many of the facilities are mainstays on the INDYCAR and IMSA schedules. The championships consistently produce high-level drivers, which has attracted IMSA teams to start their own formula racing programs to train drivers, and has INDYCAR teams looking in the championships’ paddocks to fuel their own driver development programs, as Chip Ganassi Racing has done with Kiwi Motorsport.

Ligier JFC, as well as the FIA-certified F4 U.S. and FR Americas, combine to form a powerful driver development ladder. Graduates of the championships have consistently advanced their careers, with alumni among the starting fields of the Indianapolis 500, INDYCAR, FIA Formula 3, IMSA, NASCAR, Super Formula, INDY NXT and more. One of the most influential ways that ladder provides a forward trajectory is through its scholarship programs, which include everything from year-end champion scholarships to a karts-to-cars scholarship program. Details regarding the 2026 scholarship programs and opportunities will be announced in the coming weeks.

Chevrolet Becomes Presenting Sponsor of IROC

 

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (October 1, 2025) – IROC Holdings LLC and General Motors announced today that Chevrolet is now the presenting sponsor of IROC. This renewed relationship builds on a storied history between the two brands that has seen Chevrolet front and center for countless moments in IROC’s history. 

“We are thrilled to welcome Chevrolet as our presenting sponsor for IROC,” said Ray Evernham, Co-Principal of IROC Holdings. “Chevrolet has not only played a key role in my own personal career, but they’ve been a vital part of IROC’s history, too. Rob [Kauffman, co-principal] and I have had a lot of fun bringing the IROC brand back to life, and to now have our friends at Chevrolet and General Motors involved makes it even more exciting.” 

“Chevrolet is proud of our long and rich history with IROC, which dates back more than half a century, and honored to be the presenting sponsor,” said Todd Christensen, Director of Chevrolet Motorsports Marketing. “We look forward to seeing the stars and cars back on track in a revitalized IROC.”

The partnership debuted at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, August 13-16, where IROC Presented by Chevrolet was a featured run group at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. An impressive 27 authentic IROC race cars participated in the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion’s IROC Unser Family Cup class, with many being original Chevrolet Camaros that were campaigned in IROC competition between 1974-1989. An equally impressive lineup of drivers—including names like Mark Martin, Jeff Gordon, Kurt Busch, Bobby Labonte, Scott Pruett, Danny Sullivan and Ken Schrader—reunited with the original machines they raced during IROC’s prime making the IROC Unser Family Cup one of the most-anticipated classes of the weekend.

The history between General Motors and IROC dates back to 1974 when 12 identically-prepared Chevrolet Camaros took to the track with motorsports legends like Richard Petty, A.J. Foyt, Emerson Fittipaldi and Graham Hill behind the wheel. While Chevrolet’s Camaro was the designated car for the IROC Series from 1974 until 1989, General Motors returned to IROC once again in 1996 with the Pontiac Firebird, which would be utilized through the final year of series competition in 2006.

“The excitement from fans and drivers around the revival of the IROC brand has been incredible, and Chevrolet’s commitment only reinforces that we’re building something truly special,” said Evernham.
