Adam Andretti joins Trans Am at Road America

Entry pushes TA2 entry to record 18 cars, joins historic Series and family

The Trans Am Series finally has an Andretti back in the paddock.   Nearly 29 years after an Andretti last raced in Trans Am, Adam Andretti will be joining the TA2 class at Road America in the #44 ECC Motorsports/Anchor Bolt and Screw Chevrolet Camaro.  His addition puts Trans Am, America’s Road Racing Series, together with one of America’s great racing families once again. 

“I’m truly excited to be participating in the Trans Am Series,” Andretti said.  “I consider myself a fan of the history of motorsports, and Trans Am is such a huge part of that.  It’s going to be a great experience.” 

Andretti joins Trans Am as a member of ECC Motorsports by the way of AJ Henriksen who reached out to Andretti about filling the seat.  

“We’ve been testing at Autobahn, putting the car through its paces,” Andretti said.  “I’ve got roughly 100 miles in the seat, and I’m feeling really good about what we’ve been doing—I think we’ll be very competitive.”

Amy Ruman Ready to Rebound at Road America, WI

Munroe Falls, Ohio (19 June 2013) – It’s been less than two weeks since the Trans Am Series was in action at Watkins Glen, and Amy Ruman and her Ruman Racing team are eager to return to race action. 

The organization is looking to see their hard work net the results that the team has shown itself to be capable of with several big efforts in recent weeks. This weekend, Trans Am will take to Road America, as Trans Am stages Round 5 of the championship as part of the big NASCAR Nationwide Series event held at the Wisconsin road course.

It has been a very busy and hectic month for the team after its No. 23 McNichols Co. Corvette was heavily damaged two rounds ago at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park. The group scrambled to get its backup car ready in just a matter of days during the quick turnaround ahead of the following race at Lime Rock Park. After Lime Rock, it was back to the team’s Ohio race shop where they went right back to work on their damaged C6 machine in order to prepare and fix it in time for the Watkins Glen event.

Lawrence Looks to Keep Championship Form in View of NASCAR Audience

Altamonte Springs, FL/June 17, 2013- As the Trans Am Series heads for the picturesc grounds of Road America this weekend, it shares the date with the popular NASCAR Nationwide Series and ARCA, without question will build the largest fan base to watch the Trans Am Series on the season.  Cameron Lawrence isn’t going to shy away from the big stage that NASCAR creates, but embrace it with clear focus on the task at hand in his #11 Ctek/Out of the Life Chevy Camaro.

Just a year ago Lawrence finished in second place at Road America, and would like nothing more than to end up back on the podium once again this weekend before a long layoff before the next round.  Of the event Lawrence states; “Road America is our last race before a month and a half break until we go to Mid-Ohio. I would love to come out of this race with as much momentum and points as possible to carry into the break. Last year we came away with a 2nd place finish so hopefully we can repeat and get the same result or better. Road America is such a big track, a win here would be making a statement. Having ARCA and NASCAR Nationwide Series there will be good to have with us so we will be seen by more fans and other teams. We'll have all 3 team cars at Road America also so hopefully we can get a Miller Racing sweep of the podium.”
