Tomy Drissi Back in Trans Am Action at Road America
June 26, 2025
· Tomy Drissi heads to Road America third in the Trans Am championship after a top five finish at Mid-Ohio
· In recent years, Drissi has built a two-race top five streak at Road America, as well as taking the pole in 2021 and the fastest race lap in 2020
· Other achievements for Drissi at Road America include two NASCAR Xfinity Series starts and Drissi Motorsports’ first race as a three-car team last year
2009 Trans Am champion Tomy Drissi and Drissi Motorsports are set to take on the second of back-to-back Trans Am by Pirelli race weekends at Road America. Drissi and the #8 Trench Shoring Company/Motul/Franklin Road Apparel Chevrolet Camaro team remain a solid third in the championship, with hopes of returning to the podium at one of America’s most iconic racing venues on Saturday.
Drissi’s experience at Road America dates to his rookie Trans Am season in 1999, when he finished ninth. He has scored multiple top five finishes in his Trans Am career at the famed Wisconsin circuit, including two in a row the past two seasons, as well as the pole in 2021 and the fastest lap the year prior. Last year’s Road America race also marked a milestone for Drissi Motorsports, as the team fielded three cars in a Trans Am race for the first time. Alongside his Trans Am experience at the track, Drissi also made two starts here in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2015 and 2016.
After gaining points on second place in the Trans Am standings last weekend at Mid-Ohio, Drissi will look to cut the gap further with a strong run at Road America. He spent most of the Mid-Ohio race in a podium position, turning fast laps on pace with the leaders. With two podiums and top five finishes in all but one race so far this season, Drissi aims to convert his speed and consistency into a season-best performance this weekend.
“We’re ready to get back after it this weekend at Road America,” said Drissi. “We had better pace at Mid-Ohio than the results showed, and we’re glad to be able to get right back to racing this weekend to show that off. Our consistency has kept us towards the top of the standings so far, and we typically get faster as the season continues, so we have high hopes to get back on the box this weekend.”
Trans Am action for Tomy Drissi and Drissi Motorsports from Road America kicks off with a pair of optional test sessions at noon and 3:40PM on Thursday. On Friday, practice will run at 10:55AM and TA drivers will qualify at 3:50PM. Saturday’s race will kick off at 12:35PM and run for 25 laps or 75 minutes, with the usual live streaming available on Trans Am social media channels and SPEED SPORT 1.
