Embroiled in a midfield battle for the entire race, Drissi slipped one place on the grid to eighth at the flag. Lacking the performance edge he had at the Glen, Drissi was nevertheless full of praise for his Burtin Racing partner and vowed to continue helping him win the title.

“We had a top five car this weekend,” said Tomy. Unfortunately, I rubbed someone trying to pass, cut a tire and had to come in.”

“The team did a great, fast job in getting me back out,” said Drissi. “But only had enough time to get back up to eighth place. Even though this was a pretty tough race for me, I’m so happy for Loshak.”

“We’ve won two races in a row,” noted Tomy. “I won at Watkins Glen and now Loshack has won here at VIR. Just spectacular. I’m going to do everything in my power to help him win this championship.”

“We didn’t finish the way we wanted to,” added Tomy. “We were missing a little bit of speed – sometimes it’s tough. I’m a little frustrated. We’re here to win, not drive around but as a team we won. Last weekend as a team we won. If we can win a couple more races I think we’re going to have a Champion on our hands.”

Thanks to all the fans at VIR and Tony Parella with all he is doing – this was such a great event this weekend with Trans Am and SVRA. Trans Am is the best racing in the world.

The Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli will return to action at Circuit of The Americas, Trans Am’s penultimate round, November 1-4 where Burtin Racing will be looking to extend their excellent run of form.

PREDATOR

Opens September 14, 2018. From the outer reaches of space to the small-town streets of suburbia, the hunt comes home. The universe’s most lethal hunters are stronger, smarter and deadlier than ever before, having genetically upgraded themselves with DNA from other species. When a boy accidentally triggers their return to Earth, only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and a disgruntled science teacher can prevent the end of the human race.

“We are seeing a big difference in the performance of this team,“ said Tomy. “We struggled mid season with some mechanical issues, but maintained our focus and began working together to share information and overcome common issues as a team. Since then we’ve really gelled. Lawrence and I have been sharing information. The crews have been sharing information. And I think Claudio has done a great job of getting everybody on the same page, working toward a bigger picture and the team as a whole. It’s pretty special and I’m enjoying it a lot!”

The strategy Tomy describes was on display at Watkins Glen. Both he and Loshack managed their cars well through the early stages of the race and Tomy managed to take the lead while Loshak continued working his way through the pack. As the race wound down, the Burtin duo found themselves competing for the win. It was Tomy who managed to hold Loshack at bay sealing a 1-2 podium for the team.

To coincide with Round 9 of the 2018 Trans Am presented by Pirelli Championship, Burtin Racing is hosting a shootout of a different kind, Trans Am participants are invited to a night of skeet shooting and target practice with local Vets and Special Forces – including cigars, BBQ and drinks held at the VIR Range in Alton, Virginia. The event starts Thursday, Sept 20 at 7pm.

In a Breitbart Sunday News interview Tomy Drissi shared his thoughts on the upcoming Burtin Racing hosted event, “I’m really excited to be Racing at Virginia International Raceway. It’s just one of the best race tracks in the country. There’s going to be some veterans and special forces – Deployment Cigars and Racing for Heroes are going to be involved with us. Our Trans Am paddock is really involved in supporting the Vets. We’re really proud to sit down and speak with the people who support and protect us. I’m just a proud driver to be racing with the Burtin Racing….Trans Am is made in America!”

The weekend’s action on track begins Thursday with two sessions of testing. Official practice for the TA class is slated for Friday morning, with the all-important qualifying session later on Friday afternoon. Grid for the race is at 5:05pm ET Saturday with the green flag start scheduled for 5:35pm ET.

Tomy Drissi has already wrapped up the 2018 West Coast Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli Championship win and is sitting in second place for the Northern Cup. Motor issues kept Tomy from leaning on the Camaro as hard as he would have liked last week at Road America. Regardless, Tomy still pulled off a sixth place finish.

Drissi’s No. 8 Chevrolet Camaro will again be promoting the spectacular ‘The Predator’ movie livery. The car garnered much attention at Road America and will no doubt do the same at The Glenn.

“It’s been a couple of tough races,” noted Tomy. “We’ve struggle mechanically, but managed to keep The Predator Camaro in the hunt. I really have to hand it to the crew at Burtin Racing. Through all the adversity, they’ve maintained a no-quit attitude, kept their cool and stayed focused on the job at hand.”

“The good news is,” added Tomy, “we’re racing at The Glen. This is such a great race track. This track has it all. Elevation changes, lots of twisty bits and some long open runs. Burtin Racing had the win here last year and on my last visit running TransAm, I finished second and locked up the TransAm Championship. We’d very much like to back that up with a win for The Predator Camaro. Even in tough times we’ve been knocking at the podium door… so I’m confident we’ll get the job done!”

“It’s so beautiful, up here,” noted Tomy. “There’s so much racing history and the fans are incredibly knowledgeable. We’re paired with the SVRA historics this weekend, so it should be a great turnout.”

The highly competitive field of 17 cars will be lining up on the grid for in the prestigious TA class. The weekend gets underway with the first test session on Wednesday afternoon. Testing and practice will continue through Thursday. Qualifying is slated for Friday afternoon and the race will take the green flag at 11:00am ET on Saturday. The race will cover 30 laps of the Grand Prix Course at Watkins Glen, an iconic layout that includes the newly repaved ‘Boot’ section.

The post Tomy Drissi Back on Track at Mid-Ohio for the Pirelli Trans Am First Energy 100 appeared first on Tomy Drissi.

“We had a great car all weekend,” said Tomy. “The Burtin Racing crew had the car right, pretty much straight of the trailer. A few tweaks here and there and we were tearing the place up. It’s a fun track… I like the old-school feel and it’s perfect for these Trans Am cars.”

As the fasted qualifier, Tomy started Sunday’s main event from the pole… his third Trans Am West Coast Championship pole of the 2018 season. His arch rival and good friend Greg Pickett would start the race in second position in pursuit of Tomy’s No. 8 GoShare Chevrolet Camaro. Pickett and Drissi would swap the lead ten times before Tomy’s Camaro suffered from suspension issues, forcing a pit stop on the 18th lap of the 51-lap, 100.47 mile race. Pickett would hold the lead, unchallenged, for the remainder of the competition. Drissi finished third, completing the requisite laps to secure the TA class West Coast championship despite body rub on the No. 8 Burtin Racing machine.

“That was a tough race,” noted Tomy. “It was shaping up to be a great show between Greg and I, but as luck would have it, the car had an issue with the front suspension and we were effectively done. We got back out there… but with the goal of getting the requisite number of laps so we could lock up the 2018 Championship.”

“I have to hand it to the Burtin Racing guys,” added Tomy. “That car was wicked fast all weekend. The handling was spot on and I could drive anywhere on the track I needed to.”

“I’m really proud of what we and Burtin Racing have done to bring exposure to the West Coast,” said Drissi. “I’m looking forward to racing Trans Am more, one way or another, on the West Coast and running for a national championship in years to come. I love racing with Greg [Pickett]; I’ve had so many great drivers like him help me over my career. and he’s one of them. Thank you to GoShare along with Claudio Burtin and his team who made this all possible this year.”

The Trans Am West Coast Championship will return to action November 1-3 at Circuit of The Americas for its final round alongside the Trans Am Championship presented by Pirelli.

The Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli will resume its primary championship next weekend, August 3-5, at Pittsburgh International Race Complex as part of the inaugural Keystone Speedfest.

Ironically, that win came over Tomy’s friend and Trans Am West nemesis, Greg Pickett. Pickett had spent 16 laps chasing down Tomy’s pole sitting Jag. Tomy recaptured the lead on lap 28, while Pickett ultimately blew up his XKR engine on the front straightaway on lap 44. Todd Harris went on to finish second and Trans Am stalwart, Tony Ave, finished third.

“That was a great race,” Tomy recalled. “We had a good car all weekend… but Greg was wicked-fast and as we all know, he’s an incredible competitor. Had Greg not gone up in smoke, it would have been a two car battle down to the last lap. We’d have been close… I mean stupid close. I know we’d have been rubbing on each other. It was going to be him or me… I hated what happened, but that’s racing and we were certainly happy to take the win.”

In 2017, the roar of Trans Am machinery was heard on Portland’s 1.927-mile surface for the first time since the Trans Am race in 2009. Though Tomy was not able to attend the 2017 event, Greg Picket went on to win, becoming the first Trans Am driver to claim victory in five decades. His win was the 18th of his career and his 183rd start. Pickett’s unparalleled career in Trans Am, features wins coming in five consecutive decades: the 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, and 2010s.

While Tomy currently leads the Driver’s Championship, Pickett will most likely be stalking him again at Portland. The two have one of the friendliest rivalries in racing.

“Greg is one of the nicest guys in the sport,” said Tomy, “and I love racing with him. You always come into these situations wanting to win, but if you take second place to Greg, you know you’ve have had a good day racing against one of the best.”

“We’ll be at the top of our game for the weekend,” added Tomy. “The Burtin Racing crew are notorious for putting a well prepared car on the grid and we’re confident we can dial in the right setup for Portland. It’s a fun track and a great track for racing. It’s got an old-school feel to it and it’s perfect for these Trans Am cars. It’s going to be a great show!”

The action get’s underway with practice and qualifying on Saturday with the Trans Am feature race taking the green flag Sunday at 11:05AM PST. The race will be 51 laps or 75 min. (100.47 miles).

“I’m pleased with our result for the weekend,” noted Tomy. “We came into the event with realistic expectations and I think we met them. Sonoma Raceway is one of the the most technical tracks in the North America. It was one tough race with the toughest teams and drivers in the world. We had some good runs out there…….. I learned a lot that will make us better the next time. Obviously, this is one of the most competitive series in the world. Given the talent and budgets, it’s important the team sets attainable goals. I couldn’t be happier with StarCom Racing. The crew worked hard and gave me a good reliable car. We stayed out of trouble and brought the car home intact.”

“I was extremely proud to represent GoShare on the #00 Chevy, added Tomy. “The Camaro featured the same livery as our Trans Am Camaro which is based on the livery of my 1970 vintage Chaparral Camaro. I think the car looked great!”

“I had a lot of confidence in the StarCom team and their preparation of the car,” Tomy continued. “Running among the quality of talent in NASCAR puts a lot of demand on every member of the team. I want to especially thank Elyshia and Derrick Cope, StarCom, GoShare, the Arthritis Foundation and all the folks that support this team and a special thank you to Cladio Burtin for helping coordinate this ride.

StarCom Racing, a Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Team, based in North Carolina was launched in September 2017. SCR acquired a Charter and is currently running a full schedule for 2018. SCR was formed by a collective group of seasoned NASCAR specialists, as well as successful business entrepreneurs from SCR’s parent company, StarCom Fiber.
