"The Trans Am Series is where it all began for me back in 2000, and returning for its 60th anniversary season feels incredibly special," said Fix. "This series has such rich history as America's original road racing series, and I'm thrilled to be part of celebrating that legacy while competing at the front of the field again. The cars are fantastic, the competition is as strong as ever, and I can't wait to get back behind the wheel."

The 2026 Trans Am schedule starts with the season opener at Sebring International Raceway on February 26th - March 1st, followed by a mix of iconic venues including Road Atlanta, Sonoma Raceway, and a return to Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
