Andy Lally and Brent Crews Win Inaugural SpeedTour All-Star Race at Lime Rock Park



Bobby Labonte and Thomas Merrill Finish Second, Ryan Newman and Thomas Annunziata Third

LAKEVILLE, Conn. (July 20, 2024) – The first event of its kind, the SpeedTour All-Star Race at Lime Rock Park was a spectacular combination of motorsports’ biggest legends and the stars of the Trans Am Series by Pirelli behind the wheel of CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series racecars. The pairing of All-Star driver Andy Lally and 2023 TA2 Series champion Brent Crews took the top step of the podium in the two-part race that combined points based on finishing positions to crown the ultimate driving duo. A second-place performance by Lally in the All-Star portion of the race set the stage for Crews, who earned a hard-fought third-place finish against his Trans Am competitors. Together, the two tallied 35 points to win a $50,000 prize.

 

The All-Star drivers drove the first race stint, and Scott Speed in the No. 17 Team SLR-M1 Racecars Chevrolet Camaro took the green flag after winning the pole in yesterday’s qualifying session. With Andy Lally’s No. 70 Nitro Motorsports Ford Mustang starting beside him on the front row, Speed got a good clean start, protecting the point position. Lally ran on Speed’s tail, followed by Adam Andretti in the No. 44 Nitro Motorsports Ford Mustang. The double yellow first waved on lap seven for the No. 97 Mike Cope Racing Ford Mustang driven by Geoff Brabham, who was forced to retire due to a mechanical issue.


 

The lap-11 restart allowed for a shakeup in the running order, as Paul Menard passed Andretti, taking the third spot in his No. 3 F.A.S.T. Auto Racing Ford Mustang. Just in front of him, Lally had his sights set on Speed, but despite a late-race challenge, Speed was able to hold the lead until the first checkered flag waved at the 25-minute mark, ending the first half of the race. Menard finished third, followed by Andretti and Bobby Labonte in the No. 26 Mike Cope Racing Ford Mustang. Greg Biffle in the No. 27 Team SLR-M1 Racecars Ford Mustang was scored sixth, followed by Ryan Newman in the No. 90 Nitro Motorsports Ford Mustang and Casey Mears behind him in the No. 38 Concierge Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro. Boris Said finished ninth in the No. 33 Concierge Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro, and Mike Skinner in the No. 892 Concierge Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro rounded out the top 10.

Following a competition break to change drivers, the race restarted for the second stint, with the Trans Am pros taking the wheel in the same positions their All-Star teammates finished in. This put young Tristan McKee in the lead in the No. 17 Team SLR-M1 Racecars Chevrolet Camaro, followed by Crews in his No. 70 Nitro Motorsports Ford Mustang, Wlostowski in the No. 3 F.A.S.T. Auto Racing Ford Mustang, AJ Henriksen in the No. 44 Nitro Motorsports Ford Mustang, and Thomas Merrill in the No. 26 Mike Cope Racing Ford Mustang.

 

The action began as soon as the green flag waved, with Crews overtaking McKee for the lead and Merrill jumping up to third after making contact with Wlostowski. Thomas Annunziata, who started seventh in the No. 90 Nitro Motorsports Ford Mustang, also navigated all the way up to fourth, all before the conclusion of the first lap. Ben Maier in the No. 80 Nitro Motorsports Ford Mustang was picking his way through the field, going from 11th to fifth in the first four laps. Connor Mosack in the No. 8 Team SLR-M1 Racecars Ford Mustang went on a tear, starting the second stint in 17th and cracking the top 10 on lap eight.

 

Crews held the lead until lap eight, when he was impressively challenged and overcome by Annunziata. Mosack continued his march to the front, taking over the fourth position on lap 19. Crews lost one more spot to Merrill on lap 20, while McKee struggled, dropping out of the top 10 and bringing the race to a yellow condition when his left-rear tire went flat. With the 25-minute clock ticking down, racing was unable to resume, and cars crossed the finish line in the order they were scored when the caution period began. Annunziata led Merrill, Crews, Mosack and Maier over the finish line.

 

When the points were tallied, it was the pairing of Lally and Crews who were scored first with a combined 35 points, while Labonte and Merrill took second with 33 points, and Newman and Annunziata rounded out the star-studded podium with 32 points. Following the race, Crews and Lally were awarded with a $50,000 check, gold Bell helmets and Omologato bespoke timepieces, in addition to custom trophies.

“This is a special moment,” said Lally. “I've had a handful of race wins at Lime Rock, but this is really cool. To share this track with some of my heroes and guys that I look up to and respect at the highest levels of the sport is amazing. And then, to also share it with tomorrow's stars is incredible. This race is the brainchild of Tony Parella; there's so much that he put on the line for this and risked. We got a really good show out of it. [Ryan Newman and Bobby Labonte], on both ends of our podium here, are guys that I've respected since I was really young, and they've accomplished so much. But then the guys that I'm standing right next to, both Thomases [Merrill and Annunziata] and Brent [Crews] here, are just monster future stars, and it's really cool to be up here with them.”

 

“This feels incredible,” said Crews. “I just want to say thank you to all of the fans. Goodness, this is probably the biggest crowd I've seen, and I've been to a lot of racetracks. I'm really happy to have y'all here and to be able to race with these stars, both the people that I race every week, as well as guys like Ryan [Newman] and Bobby [Labonte]. This is just so cool. There's so many guys that I remember watching on TV when I was five years old, and I got to race with them. I just want to thank everybody at Nitro Motorsports and Nick Tucker, who has done so much for me growing up, from racing go-karts to winning championships with this racecar. Being able to share the top step with Andy [Lally] is great. You see how much stuff he gets to win, and being able to win with him feels really great. So, I'm happy to be here. The Nitro Motorsports No. 70 Franklin Road Apparel car was pretty badass, and I just want to say thank you to Toyota Racing. I'm happy to be here.”

Scott Speed Earns Pole for SpeedTour All-Star Race at Lime Rock Park

 

Andy Lally Will Start on Front Row

LAKEVILLE, Conn. (July 19, 2024) – Practice and qualifying have concluded for the SpeedTour All-Star Race at Lime Rock Park, where legendary racers from all disciplines of motorsports are paired with the stars of the Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli in a CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series car. Scott Speed in the No. 17 Team SLR-M1 Racecars Chevrolet Camaro was the fastest in qualifying with a best time of 52.657, claiming the pole for himself and his driving partner, Tristan McKee.

 

Starting beside him on the front row is Andy Lally in the No. 70 Nitro Motorsports Ford Mustang, who laid down a lap time of 52.845. Lally is paired with 2023 CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series champion Brent Crews. Their No. 70 car was the fastest in the weekend’s only practice session.

 

“These CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series cars are really fun,” said Speed. “A lot of our young drivers get to drive these as part of their development, so it's fun to get in one and drive it at speed and get a feel for them. They're great cars for these kids to develop in; it's a great series. I'm happy to be able to come out here and race with Tristan, obviously super young, one of the new, hot up-and-comers. It's cool to be able to get in the car and get a real experience of what they're feeling.”


 

“I'm excited,” said McKee. “Scott gets to do the first half and I get to do the last, so hopefully I'm in a good position and I can stay there. I feel pretty good about it. I feel comfortable in these cars and on this track, so I feel good.”

 

SpeedTour CEO Tony Parella offered his thoughts on the event thus far.

 

“I'm so grateful for all the All-Stars that came out,” said Parella. “When you consider this field, there's over 8,000 NASCAR starts, almost 600 sports-car racing starts, 40-plus Formula 1 starts, INDYCAR championships and everything in between gracing us with their presence. I think it's like old home week for these guys. They're having a family reunion. And, you know, these drivers look a little older. They've got a little more gray, maybe a couple more pounds. But when you look at the speeds, they're still racers. And to bring this platform to the young up-and-coming drivers that have aspirations to race on the biggest stages, this is a perfect conduit for that. So, for that, I'm grateful. We got blessed with good weather. I want the fans to have a ball. Heck, we had an autograph session that lasted over an hour. If we let it, the line would have gone two hours.”

 

The SpeedTour All-Star Race will be contested tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. ET. It will be broadcast LIVE on MAVTV and streamed live here beginning at 12:30 p.m. ET. The All-Stars will take the green flag for the race, then hand over their TA2 cars to the Trans Am pro following a mid-race competition break for a driver change.

Brent Crews Wins at Road America in First-Career TA Race



Ricky Sanders Wins XGT, Lee Saunders Victorious in SGT, Chris Coffey Takes GT Once Again

ELKHART LAKE, Wis. (June 30, 2024) ― The Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli race at Road America was one of attrition and consequences, with both mechanical failures and penalties ultimately affecting the outcome of the race. A four-time winner this year, Paul Menard led much of the 25-lap race after early contact took Chris Dyson out of contention. However, an avoidable-contact penalty moved Menard to second in the finishing order, resulting in 2023 CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series champion Brent Crews earning the victory, fighting back from engine issues and an eighth-place starting berth to win in his first-career TA start.


 

Dyson led the field to green in his No. 16 GYM WEED Ford Mustang after taking the pole position and got off to a great start, pulling ahead of both rows of traffic. Second-place starter Menard (No. 3 Menards/Masterforce Tools Ford Mustang) was quickly challenged by third-place Adam Andretti (No. 17 Top Liner/Go Share Chevrolet Camaro), but he maintained the second position and proceeded to chase the leader. By lap two, Menard had closed in on Dyson and dove to make the pass in Turn 8 and the two made contact, with Menard bumping Dyson’s left-rear, causing the three-time champion to spin. Dyson was able to get moving again, but he’d fallen all the way back to the eighth position.

 

While Menard led the field, Crews, who started in eighth place in his No. 2 Mobil 1/STEEL-IT Dodge Challenger after engine problems plagued him in qualifying, had already fought his way into the second position by lap three. Dyson, on a mission to return to the front of the field, began to pass his TA competitors, and by lap 11 he had driven up to fourth. However, Dyson faced even more adversity, as he lost voltage in his car on lap 13. Dyson pulled off the racing surface, and despite a tireless effort by CD Racing crew, he was unable to return and relegated to finishing last in the TA class.

 

A few laps later, the Camaro of third-place Andretti began to pour smoke due to a left-front tire rub. Andretti quickly came to pit road for a tire change, but his new tire also smoked. The team determined that a nose brace had broken, leading to bodywork causing the rub, and Andretti was forced to retire to the paddock. This led to Amy Ruman (No. 23 McNichols Co./Valley Automotive Chevrolet Corvette) taking over the third position, and behind her, Tomy Drissi (No. 8 Drissi Motorsports/Lucas/Mission Chevrolet Camaro) and teammate Don Yount (No. 7 Drissi Motorsports/Franklin Road Chevrolet Camaro) battled for the fourth position.

 

As the laps clicked down, Menard had opened an insurmountable lead over Crews, and he took the checkered flag in the first position. Crews and Ruman followed, with Yount ultimately taking fourth and Drissi finishing fifth. After the race, Menard was issued a 42-second penalty for avoidable contact, dropping him back to the second position, and Crews was awarded his first-career TA win.

 

“These TA cars [really are the most fun to drive],” said Crews in GYM WEED Winners Circle. “I just want to thank Pancho Weaver and all the guys over at Weaver Racing Concepts for getting this thing back on track. I don't know if everybody knows, but yesterday, we had a whole motor swap. The guys stayed up pretty much all night and then got up super early this morning to get this thing fixed up. So, I'm just happy to be here racing. I had a great time. I want to thank my dad for helping me be here; he did a great job spotting today. I just want to say thanks to all my sponsors. Thank you to Mobil 1 Racing and STEEL-IT and all the guys that are on that racecar. They did a great job. Thank you to everybody at Toyota Racing for helping me be here. I'm looking forward to the next one.”

 

Notes of Interest:

  • This was the first-career TA race and win for Brent Crews.

  • Crews has two previous victories at Road America in the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series.

  • Crews’ first-career TA2 win came at Road America in 2022, when he became the youngest driver to win in series history at 14 years, three months and four days.

  • Amy Ruman scored her second podium of 2024. Her first came at Sebring in the season opener.

The XGT race appeared to be in Danny Lowry’s hands, as he led nearly every lap in his No. 42 Bennett/BridgeHaul/PitBoxes.com Mercedes AMG GT3. However, in the final laps, the plug on the steering wheel that allows the car to shift disconnected, and Lowry was stuck running in second gear. This allowed Ricky Sanders to pass Lowry in his No. 43 BridgeHaul/Bennett/PitBoxes.com Mercedes AMG GT3 and secure the victory.

 

“This feels great; Road America is just an awesome facility,” said Sanders. “The first time I came here 10 or 12 years ago, I thought it was one of the best tracks in America. Every time we come back, it gets better and better. It's like, how can they keep improving it? And we come back and it's an even better facility. It's a beautiful place, with amazing workers here. It's just a joy to come here because everybody treats us so well. We really love coming up here, running with Trans Am, running at Road America.”

Joshua Carlson (No. 36 Enseva/TC Fab/Diercks Ltd. Ford Mustang) led the SGT field to the start, but experienced a mechanical issue on the first lap, smoking heavily and dropping fluid on the track. Once Carlson retired to the paddock, Lee Saunders (No. 84 LandSearch LLC Dodge Viper) took over the point position, opening up a large gap over his competitors. Behind him, Richard Forsythe (No. 58 GSpeed/Sambuca Restaurant Chevrolet Corvette) held second place for the first 10 laps, but on lap 11, Kaylee Bryson made the pass for second in her No. 02 Logical Systems Inc./Sam Pierce Chevrolet Corvette. While Saunders cruised to victory, Bryson and Forsythe ran close together, but Forsythe was unable retake the runner-up position.

 

“First of all, I'd like to thank God for this beautiful day in this great country we live in and the ability to come out here today,” said Saunders. “Thank you to the fans. Thank you to Trans Am for bringing us to world-class places like this. This is just fantastic. It's unfortunate that Josh [Carlson] had problems, because he was obviously really fast. I was looking forward to racing with him and just had a great time with everybody out here today. I can't thank my team, KSR, enough. We've got Eddie, CJ, Jameson, and they did a great job turning the car around. I'm just the idiot behind the wheel, they're the ones that make it fast. Thanks again for everybody coming out today and thank you to my wife, who's at home holding the fort down.”

Chris Coffey took the green flag from the first position in his No. 97 Norwood Auto Italia/Traffic Grafix Maserati MC GT4 and showed his raw speed from the start. On the first lap, a competitor in another class laid down fluid in Turn 5, briefly making the surface slippery. Coffey slowed through the affected area, allowing David Hampton to sail around his outside and take the lead. However, Coffey recovered quickly, reclaiming the lead before returning to the finish line. From there, Coffey was unmatched, leading every lap until the checkered flag. Hampton crossed the finish line second, followed by Colin Cohen in the No. 38 Norwood Auto Italia/Traffic Grafix Maserati MC GT4.


 

“Man, the race was pretty interesting,” said Coffey. “The track got covered in oil there right at the start, and so that made it really hairy. This guy [David Hampton] drove right around the outside of me, so I had to fight back for it. I'll tell you what, we've done four races in six weeks, and I couldn't have imagined it'd be as much work as it was. I couldn't have done it without David Rice and Xavier, and of course, I couldn't be here at all without Colin [Cohen]. Just want to thank my wife at home, who's been having to hold down the fort and take care of our four-year-old son all alone. I'm ready to get home now.”

Rafa Matos Earns Fourth Win of 2024, 24th Victory in CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series at Road America


 

Jared Odrick Earns First-Career Pro/Am Challenge Win

ELKHART LAKE, Wis. (June 29, 2024) – Rafa Matos drove to GYM WEED Winners Circle for the fourth time this season at Road America, earning his 24th-career victory as the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series’ winningest driver in history. After starting second, Matos made an early pass for the lead and was a force to be reckoned with, maintaining the first position through multiple restarts and overcoming late-race mechanical issues to take the checkered flag and extend his lead in the point standings.

 

Jake Drew (No. 7 Silver Hare Racing Chevrolet Camaro) started the race from the pole position after setting a new track record in yesterday’s qualifying session. On the initial start, Drew easily maintained the lead, but a full-course caution was deployed on lap two for a car stopped on the back straight. When green-flag racing resumed two laps later, second-place starter Matos (No. 60 Concord American Flagpole/Nitro Motorsports Ford Mustang) challenged Drew and deftly passed him to the inside. Thomas Merrill, who restarted fourth in his No. 26 HP Tuners/Cope Race Cars Ford Mustang, quickly moved into third by passing Mike Skeen (No. 17 Team SLR-M1 Racecars Chevrolet Camaro), then made his way around Drew, costing the No. 7 another position and taking over second.

 

While Matos smoothly led, the running order behind him changed rapidly. Drew dropped back to sixth, and Merrill lost the runner-up position to Austin Green in the No. 89 3-Dimensional Services Group Ford Mustang, while seventh-place starter Connor Mosack (No. 57 Silver Hare Racing/PRG Chevrolet Camaro) moved up to fourth by the second double yellow of the day on lap eight.


 

The top five remained the same during the next green-flag run, but the field was grouped together by another caution on lap 14. When racing resumed on lap 17, Matos had another beautiful start, while Merrill reclaimed second after getting back around Green. Skeen got into trouble while racing with Drew, allowing Drew to slide back into the top five.


 

Suddenly, Matos began to struggle with a transmission issue, and his car was popping out of gear. One lap later, Merrill was right on Matos’ tail and looking to make the pass. Matos was forced to drive the rest of the race with one hand on the steering wheel and another on the shifter, allowing him to keep the car in gear, yet he was still able to hold off Merrill’s advances. Meanwhile, Drew had an excellent run in the final laps, picking off both Green and Mosack to find his way back into a podium spot.


 

When the checkered flag waved, Matos earned the victory, followed by Merrill, Drew and Mosack. Thomas Annunziata (No. 90 Bayshore Mortgage/Nitro Motorsports Ford Mustang) amazingly worked his way all the way through the field after starting last due to a pre-race penalty, claiming the final position in the top five with a late-race pass on Green.

 

“It was a very special day for us; our fourth win of the season,” said Matos. “A great moment for us, a great moment for Nitro Motorsports. Hats off to every single member of the team. This is a group effort. They worked their [butts] off and prepared a fantastic car. Thank you to Concord American Flagpole and my biggest supporter, Chris Dyson. Thank you very much for believing in this program. I want to congratulate Tyler Kicera, also. A lot of times, Tyler is the mastermind behind the team. He's a great man, great driver. It's been a good day for us, and we're just stretching that points gap even more. Hopefully we'll come back after the summer break and wrap up the championship.”

Chris Dyson Earns Second Pole of 2024 at Road America



Danny Lowry Fastest in XGT, Lee Saunders Tops SGT, Chris Coffey Best in GT

ELKHART LAKE, Wis. (June 29, 2024) – Practice and qualifying have concluded for the Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli at Road America. Chris Dyson in the No. 16 GYM WEED Ford Mustang captured the pole with a best time of 2:02.352. It is his second pole of the 2024 season.

 

“I think this pole is a great place to start,” said Dyson. “It’s a long race here, 100 miles, but the car has been great. The GYM WEED car rolled off the truck fast, and we've really just been fine-tuning it since then. The track was a bit hotter this afternoon than it has been, and the track has been evolving a lot with the rain, but I think we've got a pretty strong car for all conditions, and I'm optimistic for the race tomorrow. This is a place that's been very good to us in the past, and I hope tomorrow's one of those days.”

 

The TA/XGT/SGT/GT race will be contested tomorrow at 2:05 p.m. ET/1:05 p.m. CT. The race will be broadcast LIVE on MAVTV and streamed live here. The highlights show of the race will air on MAVTV on Thursday, July 4 at 9:00 p.m. ET.

jake Drew Earns First-Career CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series Pole at Road America, Sets Track Record

Points Leader Rafa Matos Starting Second, Skeen Starting Third in First Trans Am Race of 2024

Jake Drew in the No. 7 Silver Hare Racing Chevrolet Camaro will start on the pole after setting a new track record with a time of 2:09.706.

“It's definitely cool to get my first CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series pole,” said Drew. “I'm super happy to have a good result so far at Road America. It's my first time here, just like everywhere else. We started off strong yesterday with the two test sessions, and we just keep clicking all the boxes. So, I’m hoping for a good strong day tomorrow as well. I really want to thank CUBE 3 Architecture for sponsoring the TA2 Series, and Silver Hare Racing for giving me this opportunity and working so hard. All the crew guys worked tirelessly on this car to make it the best it can be, and I just do my job as well as I can inside.”

Back on the West Coast

The Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli’s Western Championship returns from a nearly three-month hiatus for the PIR SpeedTour at Portland International Raceway. The Trans Am Series has been visiting Portland since 1972, holding 31 races at the 1.97-mile circuit between the National and Western Championships.


 

With five races completed between three rounds of racing so far this season, the Western Championship has officially passed the halfway point, meaning that the championship battles are heating up and that this weekend’s doubleheader will have major consequences on the standings.


 

The CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series standings are the tightest, with two ties between the top-five racers. Tim Lynn (No. 17 Roof Options Ford Mustang) and Portland-area native Ken Sutherland (No. 68 Kallberg Racing/Wyatt Fire Chevrolet Camaro) are currently tied in the top spot with 425 points. Interestingly, neither of the point leaders have driven to Victory Lane yet this year.


 

Just 17 markers back are Kyle Kelley (No. 80 PK+k Properties/UPRacing.com Ford Mustang) and Michael LaPaglia (No. 31 Papini’s Garage/F.A.S.T. Auto Racing/Howe Ford Mustang), also tied with 408 points. Both Kelley and LaPaglia have tallied one victory, with LaPaglia winning Race 2 at Thunderhill Raceway Park, and Kelley winning in the series’ most recent race at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. LaPaglia previously held the points lead, but suffered an electric issue at Laguna Seca. Tim Barber in the No. 33 DIG Motorsports Ford Mustang rounds out the top five with 404 points and victories in Race 1 at Thunderhill and Race 1 at Sonoma Raceway.


 

The XGT class also has a competitive points race, which is currently led by Michele Nagai in the No. 72 Nagai Racing/Berkeley Jet Drive Chevrolet Camaro with 425 points after earning victories in Race 1 at Thunderhill, Race 1 at Sonoma and Laguna Seca. She is followed by Tim Rankin (No. 5 TCR IT Solutions Ford Mustang) with 390 points. Chris Evans (No. 92 Central Welding Supply Ford Mustang) is third with 300 points, followed by Will Rodgers (No. 12 Central Welding Supply/Chris Evans Race Cars Ford Mustang) with 286 points and wins in Race 2 at Thunderhill and Race 2 at Sonoma Raceway. Fifth in XGT is Rick Wright in the No. 45 AR Motorsports Audi R8 LMS GT3 with 250 points.

 

In TA, Steve Goldman (No. 13 LIG Racing Chevrolet Corvette) currently has a large lead over Greg Pickett (No. 6 Pickett Racing Ford Mustang), with 215 points over Pickett’s 115. Goldman has wins in Race 1 at Thunderhill and Race 1 at Sonoma, as well as Laguna Seca, while Pickett took the victory in Thunderhill’s Race 2.

 

David Hampton in the No. 14 AR Motorsports Porsche Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport has a commanding lead in the GT standings, with victories in every race so far this year earning him a total of 270 points. Kevin Michaels (No. 98 Killer Shrimp Restaurant Chevrolet Corvette) is second with 110 points.

 

Everything is Coming Up Roses for Sutherland

Just two weekends ago was the 63rd-annual running of the Rose Cup Races at Portland International Raceway. The Rose Cup is a historic race as the first major event held at PIR in 1961, and Trans Am legends like Willy T. Ribbs and George Folmer have taken the checkered flag in previous runnings. Ken Sutherland (No. 68 Kallberg Racing/Wyatt Fire Chevrolet) drove to victory in the prestigious event in a brand-new Chris Evans Race Cars Dodge Challenger, which we can expect to see in XGT competition soon. This is the second-consecutive season that a Chris Evans Race Cars vehicle drove into the Winner’s Circle at the Rose Cup Races, as owner Chris Evans (No. 92 Central Welding Supply Ford Mustang) earned the victory in 2023.

 

Father and Son

Making his Trans Am debut this weekend in the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series is Cole Moore in the No. 54 Naake-Klauer Motorsports Ford Mustang. The 27-year-old California native has a great deal of experience racing on the West Coast, having competed in the ARCA Menards Series West and SRL Spears Southwest Tour over the course of several seasons. Moore has three previous starts at Portland International Raceway in ARCA West, with a best finish of fourth in 2022. The younger Moore will be sharing the racetrack this weekend with his father, John Moore, who drives the No. 5 Central Welding Supply Ford Mustang in the XGT class. This won’t be the first time the father and son team have been in the same field. In 2022, the duo competed against each other in ARCA West at All American Speedway. The younger Moore earned his first-career ARCA win in that event.

 

Hampton a National Winner

GT’s David Hampton (No. 14 AR Motorsports Porsche Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport) has been keeping busy since the Western Championship took the checkered flag, making his debut in Trans Am’s National Championship at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. In intense rain, Hampton drove his Porsche to his first-career National Championship victory with a third-place finish overall. Hampton backed that up with a second-place finish in class the following weekend at Road America.

 

Michelle Nagai Knows Portland

Current XGT points leader Michelle Nagai (No. 72 Nagai Racing/Berkeley Jet Drive Chevrolet Camaro) knows what it takes to stand atop the podium at PIR. Just last year, Nagai made the switch to XGT racing in a Chris Evans Race Cars/Jefferson Racing-prepared hot rod and drove to her first victory in the class at Portland. Nagai had previously competed in the Western Championship’s TA and TA2 classes before entering XGT. In fact, prior to last year’s victory, her best finish at Portland had been a close second-place finish behind Trans Am legend Greg Pickett.

 

“Running a mixed-class races out here in the Western Championship can be tricky at times getting through traffic safely, but that’s all the more reason I love driving my Chris Evans Race Cars Camaro to Victory Lane,” said Nagai. “I’m looking forward to getting back on track and picking up the momentum we had in the first three rounds after a very long 88-day hiatus since our last run at Laguna Seca back in early May.”

A Star-Studded Event

This Saturday, the green flag will wave for a once-in-a-lifetime event at Lime Rock Park: The SpeedTour All-Star Race. 20 legendary motorsports icons from NASCAR, INDYCAR, Formula 1, IMSA, dirt racing, sports cars and road racing will be paired with 20 current drivers in the Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli and SVRA’s TA2 Club to share a CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series car and compete in a 60-minute race for a $50,000 winner-takes-all prize.


 

The All-Star drivers competing have earned a cumulative 11 NASCAR championships, an INDYCAR championship, 13 road racing championships, an IROC championship, three USAC championships, four Rallycross championships and three off-road championships. The All-Star field also includes Daytona 500 and Indianapolis 500 winners, competitors who have stood atop the podium at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Nürburgring and Daytona, and those who have competed on racing’s biggest stages around the world.


 

The All-Stars aren’t the only draw for this weekend’s festivities, as the current pros they are racing with are stars in their own right, accounting for nearly 800 starts in Trans Am’s National and Western Championships and TA2 Club, 52 victories, more than 200 top-five finishes and six championship titles.

Even More Stars

The 40 All-Star and pro drivers in the SpeedTour All-Star Race aren’t the only stars that will be shining this weekend at Lime Rock Park. NASCAR and modified driver Geoff Bodine will serve as Grand Marshal for the event, giving the command to start engines. Recognized as one of NASCAR’s All-Time Top 10 Modified Drivers, he holds a Guinness World Record for the most wins in one season, with 55 modified feature wins in 1978. Named as one of NASCAR’s 50 Greatest Drivers, Bodine was the 1982 Cup Series Rookie of the Year and went on to win the 1986 Daytona 500. In 1987, he won the IROC Championship while competing against some of the best racers in the world.


 

Al Unser Jr. will serve as a color commentator for the national television broadcast on MAVTV, as well as for the live stream. Unser Jr. is a two-time INDYCAR Champion (1990, 1994), as well as a two-time winner of the renowned Indianapolis 500 (1992, 1994). A versatile racer, he’s stood atop the podium everywhere from the Long Beach Grand Prix (six times), to the Rolex 24 at Daytona (twice), the Pikes Peak Hill Climb, and in World of Outlaws races. In addition to his two INDYCAR titles, his championship accolades include the 1981 SCCA Super Vee Gold Cup, 1982 Can-Am Championship and two IROC Championships (1986, 1988).


 

In addition to the SpeedTour All-Star Race, those in attendance this weekend will get to see the first IROC event in nearly 20 years, with a 30-minute exhibition event on Saturday afternoon. Many of the drivers will be reunited with their original racecars from the different eras of the series, which originally ran from 1973-2006. Headlining the IROC entry list is Mark Martin, who has a record 13 IROC victories and five championships, more than any other driver in series history. Martin also competed in the NASCAR Cup Series for more than 30 years, earning 40 victories and 56 poles.


 

Another Pair

Two more current pro drivers have been added to the entry list, bringing the All-Star Race field up to 40 drivers in 20 cars. 25-year-old Connor Mosack is now paired with Ken Schrader. Mosack has been competing in the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series since 2020 and has scored two-career victories, 18 top fives and 23 top-10 finishes.


 

15-year-old Young Gun Ben Maier will team up with Hailie Deegan in his own No. 80 Nitro Motorsports Ford Mustang. Maier earned his first-career TA2 victory and pole earlier this season at World Wide Technology Raceway and currently sits fourth in the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series National Championship standings.

Past Winners at Lime Rock

There are a number of drivers in this weekend’s SpeedTour All-Star Race who have found success at Lime Rock Park in various forms of motorsports.


 

The most recent winner of this weekend’s entrants is Paul Menard, who earned a win in Trans Am’s TA class at the track on Memorial Day.


 

Thomas Merrill has three victories at the track (2019, 2022, 2023) in the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series, tying him with Chris Dyson and Dorsey Schrader for the most victories in the Trans Am Series at Lime Rock Park.


 

Andy Lally has four victories at Lime Rock Park, including Grand-Am wins at the track in 2001 and 2006, an American Le Mans Series victory in 2010, and an IMSA win in 2016.

 

Boris Said won an SCCA Pro Racing World Challenge T Class race in 1996 and a Trans Am TA class race in 2002.

 

Ken Schrader earned a NASCAR Xfinity Series win in 1993.

 

Ron Fellows earned a victory in Trans Am’s TA class in 1992.

 

Geoff Brabham has back-to-back wins at Lime Rock in the IMSA GT Championship in 1988 and 1989.


 

Close to the Park

Several drivers in this weekend’s field are from close to Lime Rock Park and the surrounding New England area.


 

Andy Lally (Northport, N.Y.)

Todd Bodine (Chemung, N.Y.)

Adrian Wlostowski (Maspeth, N.Y.)

Thomas Annunziata (Colts Neck, N.J.)

Tom Sheehan (Bow, N.H.)


 

Girl Power

This weekend’s race has three female drivers entered, with one all-female pairing, and between the three of them, a number of records have been broken. 


 

Pippa Mann is a seven-time Indianapolis 500 competitor and the first female driver to set a lap time over 230 mph at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. A winner in INDY NXT, she has finished on the podium at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring three times in a GT4 car. She is also the CEO of Shift Up Now, an organization which focuses on the advancement of women in motorsports. Mann is paired with Amy Ruman, the first female Trans Am champion, going back-to-back to take the National Championship title in the TA class in 2015 and 2016. She has made 157 starts in the TA series, the third-most of any active driver in Trans Am. She has scored 16 victories and 97 top-five finishes in the series.   

 

Hailie Deegan is a three-time champion in the Lucas Oil Off Road Pro Series, and is the only female driver to ever accomplish that feat. She is also the only youth driver to win the Lucas Oil Off Road Pro Series Driver of the Year award, an honor she took at the age of 15. Since 2018, Deegan has been climbing up the stock car and sports car ladder. Winning in the ARCA Menards Series West, Deegan recorded top fives and top 10s as she moved through the ranks in the ARCA Menards Series and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. She kicked off the 2023 season by leading laps en route to her first sports car podium in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge. By 2024, she moved up to the NASCAR Xfinity Series, where she’s recorded a career-best 12th-place finish at Talladega Superspeedway.


 

Generation Gap

Pairing motorsports’ biggest names with emerging talents has led to large age gaps between some of the driver pairings, which will make for interesting matchups. The biggest gap between driver pairings is 46 years, which is the difference between Ron Fellows and Ethan Barker.

 

The youngest combined age of any two competitors is the pairing of Hailie Deegan (23) and Ben Maier (15), who are a combined total of 38. Deegan turns 23 just two days before the race.


 

Ron Fellows (64) and Ethan Barker (18): 46 years

Ken Schrader (69) and Connor Mosack (25): 44 years

Boris Said (61) and Boris Said Jr. (20): 41 years

Andy Lally (49) and Brent Crews (16): 33 years

 

Will Experience Pay Off?

The pair of drivers that will win the SpeedTour All-Star Race is anyone’s guess, but there’s some drivers in the field who have the advantage of seat time in the 530-horsepower CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series cars. Tom Sheehan has the most starts of any TA2 driver in history with 146, nine of which have come at Lime Rock Park. Thomas Merrill is the only entrant who has actually driven to Victory Lane at the track in a TA2 car, which he has done three times. Below are the drivers with the most TA2 experience at Lime Rock’s 1.478-mile circuit:

 

Tom Sheehan: 146 starts, 9 starts at Lime Rock

Adam Andretti: 69 starts, 3 starts at Lime Rock

Thomas Merrill: 60 starts, 5 starts and 3 wins at Lime Rock

Barry Boes: 57 starts, 4 starts at Lime Rock

Adrian Wlostowski: 45 starts, 4 starts at Lime Rock

Jim Gallaugher: 43 starts, 3 starts at Lime Rock

Connor Mosack: 39 starts, 3 starts at Lime Rock

Boris Said Jr. 20 starts, 2 starts at Lime Rock

Brent Crews: 28 starts, 2 starts at Lime Rock

Ben Maier: 19 starts, 2 starts at Lime Rock

AJ Henriksen: 16 starts, 2 starts at Lime Rock


 

Teammates

Sharing a racecar becomes easier with a bit of chemistry, and two pairings come into the SpeedTour All-Star Race with a little bit of an advantage. Adam Andretti and AJ Henriksen spent a number of years racing as teammates at ECC Motorsports in both the TA and TA2 classes.

 

Boris Said has served as an example and a mentor to his son, Boris Said Jr., racing professionally since long before the younger Said was born. However, they have only driven side-by-side as teammates in the same race once: At VIRginia International Raceway in 2022, the two Saids drove together in a CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series race, both fielded by Peterson Racing.

Trans Am Pros, Additional All Stars Confirmed for SpeedTour All-Star Race at Lime Rock Park

Casey Mears, Andy Lally, Todd Bodine and Adam Andretti Added to All-Star Race Lineup

CHARLOTTE (July 3, 2024) – Parella Motorsports Holdings (PMH) and Lime Rock Park have confirmed that four additional drivers will join the star-studded SpeedTour All-Star Race, July 19-20. An unprecedented gathering of motorsports icons, the weekend will not only feature 19 pairings of racing legends with today’s Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli stars, but it will also celebrate the first IROC event in more than 20 years, as several original IROC competitors reunite with cars raced in the iconic series. 

“We’re thrilled to add even more All Stars to our already impressive lineup for this year’s SpeedTour All-Star Race,” said Tony Parella, CEO of PMH. “If the only element to this event was the All Stars, that’d be impressive, but then we’re adding some of our best drivers in Trans Am’s CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series and TA class, and including the first IROC event in over 20 years. The fans in New England have been such great supporters of SpeedTour events; I can’t think of a better place to host the SpeedTour All-Star Race than at Lime Rock Park.”

Joining the SpeedTour All-Star Race will be Adam Andretti, Todd Bodine, Andy Lally and Casey Mears. The group represents some of the best-known names in racing, but also represents a myriad of accomplishments in their own right—including five championships and countless race wins, some of which were achieved in the most prestigious races in the world. 

Andretti, Bodine, Lally and Mears complete a star-studded field that includes Daytona 500 and Indianapolis 500 champions, IROC winners and drivers who have stood atop the podium at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Nürburgring, and Daytona. In total, the All-Star drivers are responsible for 11 NASCAR championships, an INDYCAR championship, 13 road racing championships, an IROC championship, three USAC championships and four Rallycross championships.  

The SpeedTour All-Star race pairs each legendary All-Star driver with one of the stars from Trans Am or TA2 Club in a spec CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series racecar for the 60-minute race. Drivers will not only be racing for a trophy, as a $50,000 winner-takes-all prize will also be on the line for the race-winning team. The reward has attracted some of the top talent from today’s entrants, with many of the drivers recognized as stars themselves, accounting for nearly 800 starts in Trans Am cars, 48 wins, 221 top fives, 398 top 10s and five championship titles. Expected driver pairings, include: 

  • AJ Henriksen with Adam Andretti
