Munroe Falls, Ohio – There was some serious competition last weekend at the Trans Am Series Championship Presented by Pirelli at the Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, Braselton, GA, Bennett/BridgeHaul Classic, Mission Foods Road Atlanta SpeedTour.
After qualifying seventh in her No. 23 McNichols Co. Chevrolet Corvette, Ruman secured a fifth-place finish and scored some more valuable points in the Championship hunt this weekend.
“I’m thankful we had a great weekend at Road Atlanta. The field was super tight in qualifying with about a second and a half covering the top 7 spots. I had some great runs during the race but unfortunately got caught in lapped traffic in the downhill esses which cost me five seconds on that lap. Really hard to make that time up without a caution in the race. The car is in one piece with no issues so that’s always a win for us!” mentioned Ruman.
After Round 2, Paul Menard leads TA National class championship with 184 points, followed by Keith Grant in second – 180, Adam Andretti third – 179, Amy Ruman is fourth – 177, and Tomy Drissi sits in fifth – with 169 points. The Series heads to NOLA Motorsports Park Avondale, LA, April 11th-14th.
