TopLiner™ and Burtin Racing Head to VIR with Ragginger in the No. 7 Chevrolet Camaro

Alton, VIRGINIA – September 14, 2026 – TopLiner™ and Burtin Racing are preparing for a highly anticipated weekend of competition September 17 to 20 as the team heads to Virginia International Raceway for The Trans Am presented by Pirelli event and the next round of the 2026 TA Class championship.

Martin Ragginger will pilot the No. 7 TopLiner™ Chevrolet Camaro in the premier TA Class, arriving at the 3.27-mile, 17-turn circuit with two of the team’s strongest results of the season already in hand. The Austrian opened 2026 with a podium at Sebring International Raceway, finishing third in TA, then led 14 laps at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course in June before taking a hard-fought second place behind Matthew Brabham.

That combination of pace and race craft gives Burtin Racing genuine belief heading into one of the most demanding tracks on the calendar. VIR, opened in 1957 and revived in 2000, is a favorite among drivers for its elevation changes, long straights, and iconic sections such as the Climbing Esses and Oak Tree. It is a circuit that rewards precision, commitment, and a car that stays planted when the surface starts to ask hard questions.

“VIR rewards persistence and commitment,” said Ragginger. “The TopLiner Camaro has been strong when we needed it most this year. We want to turn that pace into a result that matches the fight we showed at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.”

For fans, the No. 7 Camaro is also the most colorful reminder of what TopLiner™ does when it is not chasing Trans Am trophies. TopLiner™ is the Georgia-born spray-on bedliner brand founded by chemist Claudio Burtin, whose original 1987 formula helped set the standard for the industry. Each coat is designed as a permanent shield against dents, scratches, rust, and weather, with a textured finish that keeps cargo from sliding around and a custom look that works on truck beds, ATVs, trailers, boats, and just about anything else that lives a hard life.

The same values that sell a bedliner with a lifetime warranty—strength, grip and durability are the values Burtin Racing puts on track. That is why TopLiner™ is not just a logo on the Camaro. It is the hometown partner behind the team’s TA program, a brand fans can utilize on their own trucks after they watch the No. 7 go to work on Sunday.

“Motorsport is an incredible platform to showcase TopLiner™,” said Claudio Burtin, Team Principal of Burtin Racing. “It shows the performance and durability that define the brand, and it lets us meet partners and fans at the race track and through the industry.”

The TA race is set from 3:20 p.m. to 4:35 p.m. ET (31 laps or 75 minutes). Practice, qualifying, and supporting series sessions run Friday and Saturday, with paddock access, fan walks, and the Hagerty Cars and Caffeine car show part of the weekend experience.
