October 18, 2025
Jared Odrick Tops Pro/Am Challenge
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (October 18, 2025) - Practice and qualifying have concluded for the Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli’s CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series race Barber Motorsports Park. Tristan McKee (No. 28 Spire/Gainbridge/SLR-M1 Chevrolet Camaro) was the quickest in the session with a best time of 1:25.323, earning his third-career pole award. With the five bonus points awarded for the top qualifying position, McKee is that much closer to clinching the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series championship this weekend. A finish of 11th or better tomorrow would make him the youngest champion in Trans Am history at 15 years, two months and 16 days old.
“It feels good to get the pole here at Barber,” said McKee. “It's a super fun track. All the SLR boys brought me a really, really fast car, and it showed all weekend. We won every session so far, so hopefully we can carry that on to the race and keep the streak going. We have one more race left [after this weekend] and we’re leading the championship. There’s quite a big points gap that we have over the No. 70 car, so feeling good going into these last two races. Thank you to Gainbridge, Hendrick Cars, Spire and Jeff Dickerson for everything they do.”
Jared Odrick (No. 00 Black Underwear/CoolBoxx Chevrolet Camaro) was the fastest of the Pro/Am Challenge contenders with a time of 1:27.438.
The Barber SpeedTour will be contested tomorrow at 2:50 p.m. ET. It will be streamed LIVE on Trans Am’s YouTube channel, @TheTransAmSeries, and broadcast LIVE on SPEED SPORT 1.
