Tomy Drissi Claims Fourth at Road America in Dramatic Last-Lap Battle
July 3, 2025
Tomy Drissi finished fourth in Saturday’s Trans Am race at Road America after a last-lap pass
The result was the best of Drissi’s Trans Am career at Road America, as well as his fifth consecutive top five finish this season
Drissi remains third in the championship, extending his advantage over fourth to 13 points
2009 Trans Am champion Tomy Drissi and the Drissi Motorsports team scored their fifth consecutive top-five finish and sixth of the 2025 Trans Am by Pirelli season at Road America on Saturday. In a thrilling three-way fight for fourth place on the last lap, Drissi and the #8 Trench Shoring Company/Motul/Franklin Road Apparel Chevrolet Camaro came out on top, beating Brandon Jones to the line by just .130 seconds.
Drissi was involved in battles for position throughout the race, but none were more dramatic than the final few laps. He spent the time slashing the gap to fourth place while also facing pressure from a hard-charging Jones behind him. Using the slipstream on Road America’s long straightaways, he made the decisive pass in Turn 5 on the last lap before breaking Jones’ draft off the final corner to defend the spot across the line.
The fourth place run marked Drissi’s career best result at Road America. In 16 previous starts, he had scored multiple fifth place finishes, including in each of the past two years. The result also allowed Drissi to strengthen his hold on third in the TA championship standings, increasing his advantage to 13 points over fourth with five races remaining.
“That was an amazing finish at Road America!” said Drissi. “We definitely had the most exciting battle on track in the closing laps, and I hope the fans were excited with what they saw. We had a really good fight with Brandon Jones for fourth at the end! It was great to be able to score some decent points as we enter the second half of the season too. Thanks to the whole team for their efforts during this busy stretch of the year, all our sponsors, and the fans for their support. We’re going to recharge during the off weekend and come out swinging at Watkins Glen!”
After a well-deserved off weekend, Drissi Motorsports will wrap up the busiest stretch of the season on July 11-13 with a return to Watkins Glen International for Trans Am’s third event in four weeks. Last year, Drissi scored his fourth podium of the season with a third place finish at the historic New York circuit. Click here to buy tickets to watch Tomy race!
