November 3, 2025
Austin, TEXAS – November 3, 2025 – Adam Andretti went past rival Paul Menard towards the end of the final race of the Trans Am presented by Pirelli 2025 Championship season at Circuit of The Americas. The feature race was on November 2 and he went on to secure the runner-up spot on the podium for the seventh time this season; he was ultimately just 40 points short of claiming the championship crown.
Series reporter Ben Cissell handed Andretti the microphone after the race, “This feels great. We are going into 2026 with some momentum. It feels really good with this Burtin Racing group.”
Acknowledging Burtin Racing’s key partners he added, “TOP LINER® is going to be back with us next year. Service Partners joined us here this weekend and thanks for that awesome support. It’s been great having them here.”
“My family came all the way out from Colorado, thanks to my wife and the countless support she gives me all the time. And she always handles it with such grace.”
“To my Burtin Racing team, you guys are absolutely awesome to work with. I feel so fortunate and blessed to be in this position. The Tran Am Series is such a great series to compete in. Great competitors!”
Adam finished by pointing out the positives and duly acknowledged the hard work of team founder Claudio Burtin, “We’re there, we’re here, we’re coming strong next year because of Claudio Burtin our leader. All glory to God and I appreciate you all.”
The 60th anniversary 2026 Trans Am series kicks off in a few months’ time at Sebring in Florida and one thing is for sure. Adam Andretti and Burtin Racing will be right up with the fastest cars on the track and challenging for the Championship again.
