WAMPUM, Pa. (June 8, 2024) – Practice and qualifying have concluded for the Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli’s CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series race at Pittsburgh International Race Complex. Ben Maier (No. 80 BOE Marine/Nitro Motorsports Ford Mustang) earned the second pole of his career by laying down a lap time of 1:42.078. Maier’s first pole came at World Wide Technology Raceway last month, where he led every lap on his way to his first-career victory.   

"This racetrack is really fun,” said Maier. “We actually came here a few months ago in my Miata to figure out the track, because no one's really been here. We've worked so hard on the car the whole weekend. Brad, Hunter, and all the crew at Nitro worked hard to get this car really good for qualifying and the race, and it turns out that the car was great. I also did some sim work before coming here. They don't have it on iRacing, so you have to use other games to get the track, but I think that definitely helped, and I’m happy to come out first."

The race will be contested tomorrow at 9:35 a.m. ET. It will be broadcast LIVE on MAVTV. It can also be streamed live here. The highlights show of the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series race will air on MAVTV on Thursday, June 13 at 8:00 p.m. ET.
