Drissi Still Rockin’ As He Eyes Trans Am Return

Los Angeles, CA. - August 22, 2019 - An enforced spell on the sidelines as the result of a calf injury has done nothing to dampen the enthusiasm of Tomy ‘The Rockin' Moroccan’ Drissi as he plots his comeback to the series he loves and of which he was crowned Champion in 2009. 

Trans Am runs through the veins of the Angeleno film advertiser and his appetite for competition has burned bright earlier this season with the Alpharetta, GA. based Burtin Racing. Tomy started on the front row of the grid on the opening weekend at Sebring, finished runner up at Road Atlanta where his 1:20:751 was the fastest lap of the race, notched a podium third at Laguna Seca and fourth place finish at Lime Rock Park, a set of results that put him in a great position for a Championship challenge before injury intervened. 

Nevertheless, the irrepressible Drissi was excited about getting back behind the wheel when he spoke to us this week. ”I’m looking forward to getting back on track with the Lucas Oil Slick Mist Chevrolet Camaro. I should have some news and updates very soon.” 

Drissi was quick to pay tribute to the Road America staff and fans when he added “Track management does a great job at Road America and the whole staff at the raceway is a top shelf bunch. It is a spectacular event for Trans Am paired with the NASCAR XFINITY Series.” 

Always thinking of the fans, Tomy went on to say, “I want to wish everyone well - good luck and safe racing to the crews. I will miss all the fans at Road America. Big thanks to all the movie goers and everyone who went to see Godzilla - it was a big hit worldwide. Thank you to each and every individual who went out to the theater to see the film.” 

With Boris Said taking a seat with Burtin Racing this weekend in the No. 3 GoShare/Elavon/Axalta Chevrolet Camaro in Wisconsin he added, "Good luck to Burtin Racing and Boris this weekend."
