• Trans-Am Race Company, LLC has assumed management of the Trans-Am(r) Series from SCCA Pro Racing(r) beginning with the 2012 season. 

  Through a five-year agreement with options for renewal, the Trans-Am Race Company will assume full marketing rights to the series and will be responsible for Trans-Am Series public relations and promotions. SCCA Pro Racing will continue to sanction Trans-Am events and provide contracted event operations services to the series. 

   

  The Trans-Am Race Company is owned by a passionate group of Trans-Am team owners and competitors with a long history of success and a desire to return the series to prominence within the American road racing landscape.

  

  The President of the Trans-Am Race Company is John Clagett, who returns to Trans-Am in a leadership role. Clagett had a 22-year affiliation with SCCA Pro Racing and the Trans-Am Series, most recently as Executive Director of Trans-Am in 2005 when Champ Car operated and sanctioned the series. 

  "Trans-Am is proud to be based on Detroit iron and is poised to return to greatness, just as America's car makers are showing resilience and making a turnaround as well," Clagett said. "The Trans-Am technical format and competition are pillars of strength, and our focus will be to bring additional resources to strengthen the marketing and promotion of the series. It is our responsibility to put in place a value proposition that delivers a strong return on investment for all stakeholder groups, including sponsors, promoters and featured marques."

  Randy Hembrey, who has served as Trans-Am Series Manager for the past three years with SCCA Pro Racing, will continue with Trans-Am as its Director of Competition.
