- Drissi made the decisive move on Adam Andretti coming into the final corner with just four laps to go

2009 Trans Am national champion Tomy Drissi brought the Drissi Motorsports team its first podium of the 60th anniversary season of Trans Am on March 15, scoring third place at Road Atlanta under thrilling circumstances. With just a handful of laps remaining in a race that had already seen both a sprinkling of rain and multiple full-course yellows, Drissi made a dramatic pass on Adam Andretti to secure the final TA class podium spot for the #8 Trench Shoring Company/Motul Chevrolet Camaro.
Drissi qualified fourth with a 1:19.870, earning him two bonus points in the championship, but moved up to the third starting spot thanks to a grid penalty to Martin Ragginger. Just after the halfway point, the second caution of the race would regroup the field and give Drissi Motorsports the chance to return to the podium at Road Atlanta for the sixth time in the past eight years.
Drissi lined up fourth on the restart, just behind Andretti, and haunted him in the closing laps. Finally, with four laps to go, Drissi made his move. He made a line to Andretti’s inside as the drivers charged downhill into Turn 12, stayed to the inside to complete the pass, and shifted into a defensive mode into Turn 1 to make sure it stuck. In the end, Drissi would cross the finish line .382 seconds ahead of Andretti for his first podium of the year.
“First of all, thanks to the whole Drissi Motorsports team,” Drissi said from the podium. “My hat is off to Andretti. For him to go as fast as he was—we just had a great race. That was a great fight that I’ll never forget. I’m glad for the fans to have a good show. Thank you to Trench Shoring, Motul, and Trans Am. Lacy, Jagger, Elin, I’ll be home soon!”
2012 Trans Am national champion Simon Gregg ensured that both Drissi Motorsports Camaros would make it to the finish line. After posting the seventh fastest time in qualifying, Gregg would finish sixth in class, staying on the lead lap and picking up valuable points in the championship chase.
“Thanks to the entire Drissi Motorsports team for the support this weekend,” said Gregg. “We’re continuing to improve every time we hit the track, and we find a little more speed each weekend. I think we’re building a solid foundation and I can’t wait to get back on track next month.”
With Road Atlanta in the books, Drissi Motorsports sets its sights on Sonoma Raceway on April 23-26. Races will take place on Saturday, April 25 at 9:45AM PT and Sunday, April 26 at 10:45AM PT. Tickets remain available, while Racing America will offer free live streaming of both races.
