Tomy Drissi Aims to Replicate Last Year’s Magic in Return to Virginia

  • Tomy Drissi remains third in Trans Am points coming into the series’ return to VIRginia International Raceway

  • Drissi enters VIR coming off his third podium of the 2025 season, a third place finish at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park

  • Last year at VIR, Drissi mounted an epic charge through the field to go from last on the grid to second at the checkered flag

2009 Trans Am champion Tomy Drissi heads into this weekend’s action at VIRginia International Raceway looking to go one step better than last year’s runner-up finish at the track. Drissi and the #8 Trench Shoring Company/Motul/Franklin Road Apparel Chevrolet Camaro will take on 31 laps of the 3.27-mile course on Sunday afternoon as he chases his fourth podium finish of the season.

Drissi remains third in TA class points entering Virginia thanks to a podium finish at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park late last month. While a daring move to take the lead off a late restart was called back, he remained third when the checkered flag flew, increasing his advantage over Amy Ruman for third place to 25 points.

Last year’s VIR round saw Drissi put forth one of his most impressive performances of the season. Despite a pre-race penalty that put him to the back of the grid and contact during the race, he carved his way through the field to take second place on the final lap. It was Drissi’s sixth podium of the 2024 season, part of a four-race podium streak to end the year.

“I’m looking forward to getting back on track at VIR and keeping up our great momentum from the summer,” said Drissi. “With just a few races remaining in the season, every point counts, and we were able to score a lot of them here last year. The Drissi Motorsports team has been working hard to keep us in the mix for checkered flags, and we’re eager to build on another podium streak this weekend!”

Tomy Drissi’s on-track schedule at VIRginia International Raceway begins on Friday with optional test sessions at 11:55AM and 5:20PM. On Saturday, practice will kick off at 10:30AM and qualifying will run at 4:55PM, while Sunday’s race will go green at 1PM for 31 laps or 75 minutes of action.
