Rafa Matos and Mike Skeen battle for points in championship chase

LEXINGTON, OHIO (24 June 2021)- Tying a five-year record-high number of event entries, the Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli returns to Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course for the Vintage Grand Prix June 25-27. More than 50 fire breathing Trans Am cars are expected for the event with 29 TA2® drivers set to take the green on Saturday, the most entries for the class at Mid-Ohio since 2016.

As the field gains competitors, the TA2® class competition gets tougher, making every round just as important as the last. The championship standings entering Mid-Ohio are even tighter with a mere one point separating first-place Rafa Matos (112) from defending class champion Mike Skeen (111), with third-place Thomas Merrill still within striking distance just five points behind Matos (107).
