RaceWatches.com Partners with Trans Am Series
April 11, 2015
April 10, 2015 -Homestead, FL – Each of the four Trans Am Class champions in 2015 will receive a specially designed Fortis watch through the Series’ latest partnership developed with RaceWatches.com in support of America’s Road Racing Series.
The arrangement provides the Champion in the TA and TA2 classes, as well as the TA3 American Muscle and TA3 International Groups, with a one-of-a-kind, engraved watch for their accomplishment.
“We’re very excited about becoming a part of the Trans Am Series,” said Tony Castaneria, of RaceWatches.com. “The Series has such a great tradition and history and we are pleased to be involved in its future. The recent growth and momentum of the Series is a major factor in our involvement and we are looking forward to being able to honor the drivers who become Champions with our fine watches.”
The Trans Am Series’ success finds fields growing to record levels throughout the first two events of 2015. This weekend’s entry list for Round 2 of the 2015 Trans Am Championship at Homestead-Miami Speedway continues to be in record territory with 68 entered, the largest Trans Am entry ever at the Florida-based track. A Trans Am record 73 cars were on hand for the season-opener March 1 at Florida’s Sebring International Raceway. Additionally, increased sponsor involvement has allowed coverage of the Trans Am on CBS Sports Network in 2015 to increase race broadcasts from two in 2014 to nine this season. Trans Am racing on CBS Sports Network will account for nearly 20 hours of programming over the next few months.
“We’re pleased to have RaceWatches.com joining the series,” said John Clagett, President of Trans Am Race Company, LLC. “These special watches will signify the achievement of a monumental task in motorsport – winning a Trans Am title. They’re a welcome addition to the list of honors our champions receive.”
