Tomy Drissi Brings Momentum Into Trans Am’s Return to Laguna Seca

  • Tomy Drissi and Drissi Motorsports go for their second Trans Am podium finish in as many weeks at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca

  • Drissi joined a list of legendary drivers to win Trans Am races at Laguna Seca when he won here in 2021

  • The California native will look to score his fourth consecutive Laguna Seca podium in Sunday’s race

For the second straight weekend, 2009 Trans Am champion Tomy Drissi and Drissi Motorsports are on track this weekend at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca for the Laguna Seca SpeedTour, the fourth round of the 2025 Trans Am National Championship. Coming off a podium finish last week at Sonoma Raceway, Drissi and the #8 Trench Shoring Company/Motul/Franklin Road Apparel Chevrolet Camaro will look to carry the momentum into the second straight race in his home state of California.

Laguna Seca has a storied history on the Trans Am schedule dating back to 1969. In 2021, Drissi joined the iconic list of drivers to have won Trans Am races at the track, making his mark alongside names like Mark Donohue, Parnelli Jones, and George Follmer. The win was his first of five podium finishes that season, on the way to a second-place finish in the TA championship that year.

On top of the victory, Drissi added third place runs at Laguna Seca in both 2019 and 2022, meaning he’ll enter this weekend with an active three-race podium streak at the track. Each of those podiums came during multi-race podium streaks, a feat that he’ll look to replicate in 2025 after last weekend’s third place run at Sonoma Raceway. Doing so would give Drissi the chance to jump from fifth to third in TA points in just a two-week span.

“I’m really excited about coming back to Laguna Seca this weekend,” said Drissi. “The best thing we can have after taking a podium in Sonoma is another race right away. I’m fortunate to be in amazing company as a past Trans Am winner at Laguna Seca, so I couldn’t ask for a better track to follow up last week. I’m looking forward to meeting all the amazing fans this weekend as we chase another checkered flag in my home state!”

Drissi and the rest of the TA class will have two days of track time at this weekend’s Laguna Seca SpeedTour. On Saturday, practice will take place at 9:30AM and qualifying will run at 3PM. Sunday’s race will go green at 1:20PM and will feature either 40 laps or 75 minutes of action. Tickets remain available here; as always, live streaming will be available on both Speed Sport 1 and the Trans Am YouTube channel.
