June 29, 2024
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.
