Drissi Motorsports is charging into the third round of the Trans Am Championship with Tomy Drissi. The team is ready to hit the track and battle in the Lucas Oil, MAVTV, Franklin Road, and Mission Foods Chevrolet Camaro in the quest for the 2024 series title.

Drissi’s quest for the championship will continue in the new for 2024, black and red Lucas Oil, MAVTV, Franklin Road, and Mission Foods #8, Chevrolet Camaro. With the relatively recent return to NOLA Motorsports Park to the Trans Am Presented by Pirelli race calendar, teams are still adapting to the unforgiving track.

Everyone seemed to have a steep learning curve with these cars on that track but we have the right team and I’m looking forward to the challenge,” said Drissi. “I’m thankful to everyone on the team who made this happen including Lucas Oil, Mav TV, Franklin Road, and Mission Foods for all the support.”
