Trans Am SpeedTour thunders into Road America

Jun 30

The Trans Am race series started 1966, and has been lucky enough to help cultivate a number of motorsport legends. Road America has a rich history with the Trans Am Series that dates back to the early days of the championship, where it has been a favorite among drivers and fans alike for its demanding 4-mile, 14-turn track.

The Trans Am SpeedTour at Road America will feature an impressive lineup of iconic American performance and muscle cars such as Mustangs, Camaros, Challengers, and Corvettes that will be thundering around the track in fierce 100-mile races. With no mandatory pit stops, drivers will be pushed to their limits, providing non-stop

The four-time winner Paul Menard was out front and led most of the 25-lap race after an early spin-out by Chris Dyson. Menard was docked for an avoidable contact penalty that left him second in the finishing order. This allowed the 2023 CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series champion Brent Crews to earn the win.

Dyson led the field to green in his No. 16 GYM WEED Ford Mustang after taking the pole position and got off to a great start, pulling ahead of both rows of traffic. Second-place starter Menard was quickly challenged by third-place Adam Andretti , but he maintained the second position and proceeded to chase the leader. By lap two, Menard had closed in on Dyson and dove to make the pass in Turn 8, and the two made contact, with Menard bumping Dyson’s left rear, causing the three-time champion to spin. Dyson was able to enter the race again, but he was all the way back to the eighth position.
