The Trans Am Race Company has announced a partnership with MotorHead Media that will see RacingJunk.com become the Official Classifieds of the Trans Am Series.
RacingJunk.com will support Trans Am fan outreach initiatives and take part in at-track activation throughout the year. They’ll also provide the go-to online classifieds marketplace for Trans Am teams and competitors interested in selling or buying Trans Am Series cars and parts for all classes.
“In MotorHead Media and RacingJunk.com we have a partner that is not only focused on Trans Am today, but Trans Am going forward,” said John Clagett, President of The Trans Am Race Company. “They’ve shown a great dedication to Trans Am and want to help continue the Series’ growth. In RacingJunk.com we have a great asset that allows us to continue to grow our competitor base and gives our current competitors yet another resource going forward.”
The partnership will also see Round 5 of the 2014 Trans Am Championship at New Jersey Motorsports Park entitled the RacingJunk.com 100, a part of the Great Railing Weekend of Thunder, where Trans Am will be accompanied by ARCA, Pirelli World Challenge and SCCA Pro IT in a full weekend of road racing.
“We are very excited to partner with the Trans Am Series,” said Shawn Stewart, Director of Business Development for MotorHead Media. “Trans Am racing has so much history, and it’s great to see the Series revitalized and growing once again. We are proud to support the events with a marketplace for Trans Am competitors to help find that first car or that part needed to keep the wheels turning and the car on track.”
RacingJunk.com will also be presenting the RacingJunk.com Team Grit Award, presented to the Trans Am team that overcomes the most adversity over the course of the race weekend, voted on by a panel of Trans Am officials. After each race the award-winning crew will be the recipients of a package of shop merchandise from RacingJunk.com. At the end of the season the panel will vote on which team overcame the most adversity over the entirety of the season. The winning team will be awarded a cash prize, trophy and merchandise package.
