Tomy Drissi Aims for Another Podium in Trans Am Action at Mid-Ohio
June 20, 2025
Tomy Drissi enters next weekend’s Mid-Ohio SpeedTour third in Trans Am points after taking his second podium of the season at Lime Rock Park
Drissi has multiple recent podiums at the Ohio circuit, including second place in 2021 and third last year, as well as an American Le Mans Series victory here in 2011
Tomy has earned the pole position multiple times at Mid-Ohio, including three consecutive years from 2013-15 and most recently in 2021, and has held the Trans Am track record at the circuit
2009 Trans Am champion Tomy Drissi and Drissi Motorsports continue their pursuit of another Trans Am by Pirelli title this weekend at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Coming off their second podium of the season at Lime Rock Park, Drissi and the #8 Trench Shorting Company/Motul/Franklin Road Apparel Chevrolet Camaro team will carry plenty of momentum into a track where Drissi has excelled in years past.
Drissi’s record at Mid-Ohio is one of his most impressive at any circuit on the Trans Am schedule. From 2013-15, he scored three consecutive TA poles at the track, setting a track record in the process. He scored his most recent pole at the track in 2021, converting that into a second place finish, and last year he earned his third podium finish of the season here with a third place run. Beyond that, Drissi scored two straight American Le Mans Series podiums here in 2010-11; he was on the LMP podium with Bryan Willman in 2010, and he teamed up with Kyle Marcelli for the LMPC victory in 2011.
Combine that with a determined drive to the podium in last month’s Memorial Day Classic, and Drissi is one of this weekend’s drivers to watch. After persevering through car setup issues at Lime Rock Park, Drissi took a hard-fought third place finish to strengthen his grip on third place in the TA championship.
“I’m really excited to get back to Mid-Ohio with momentum on our side,” said Drissi. “I’ve had a lot of great results here over the years, and after we found a way to finish on the podium at Lime Rock Park, there’s no reason to think we can’t add another one this weekend. The team has been working hard to make sure we’re ready, and we think we can get a podium streak going!”
