Paul Menard began the 2025 season of the Trans Am Series with a victory at Sebring International Raceway, reminiscent of his championship-winning season in 2024. He started from the pole and led before being passed by Brent Crews, the 2023 CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series champion. A late mechanical issue for Crews allowed Menard to reclaim the lead and secure his first win of the season. Despite challenges, Menard, driving the No. 3 Pittsburgh Paints/Menards Ford Mustang, held on to the lead until the checkered flag. Adam Andretti finished second and Amy Ruman took the final podium spot. In the XGT class, Paul Tracy won in his class debut, leading from start to finish.
