Adam Andretti celebrated his 45th birthday with a victory at the Mission Foods Road Atlanta SpeedTour, marking one of the closest finishes in the history of the Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli. Andretti drove a Burtin Racing-designed chassis and took the lead from Chris Dyson after a competitor’s oil spill on lap 11. Despite leading in his No. 17 Top Liner/Go Share Chevrolet Camaro, Dyson managed a remarkable comeback, finishing just 0.159s behind Andretti in the Bennett/BridgeHaul Classic. This win marked the first victory for the Burtin Racing chassis, which debuted at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2023. Dyson had started from pole position in his No. 16 GYM WEED Ford Mustang but ultimately finished second, while Boris Said took third place in the No. 2 Weaver Racing Dodge Challenger. Menard, who was in contention, had to retire due to a power failure, allowing Andretti to secure a substantial lead and ultimately claim victory in a thrilling race.
