Drissi Motorsports will field two cars at the Motorsports resort Virginia International Raceway for round 10 of the Trans Am Championship Presented by Pirelli. Keith Grant will drive the #40 Drissi Motorsports, Franklin Road #40 Chevrolet Camaro and Tomy Drissi will continue to chip away at his run for the championship in the Lucas Oil, Mav TV, Franklin Road, and Mission Foods #8 Chevrolet Camaro.
Both Drissi and Grant have experience at VIR and both have a history of being on the podium. But neither driver is going to settle for an average finish.
“VIR brings its own unique set of challenges and many fast drivers leave the track humbled. But I feel we have the best team, the best crew and the best sponsors and we are better prepared for the challenge than we have been in years. ” said Drissi. “I can’t thank the team and all the specialists for all their hard work and I’d like to thank Lucas Oil, Mav TV, Franklin Road, and Mission Foods Chevrolet Camaro for being a part of all of this.”
