BRASELTON, Ga. – Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta was “home sweet home” for Burtin Racing Saturday in the opening act of a season-ending Trans-Am Series presented by Pirelli doubleheader weekend. After Chris Dyson stormed to the lead at the start, Ragginger took advantage of Dyson’s early race mechanical issues to take the lead on lap 13 in the No. Burtin Racing finished 1-2 at Road Atlanta with Lawrence Loshak and Drissi in 2019. Entering the race with a commanding 43-point lead, Drissi now unofficially closed the gap to 31 points entering Sunday’s finale, a 100-mile race for all five classes. Boris Said followed Drissi through traffic in the closing laps to take third in the No. 19 Advanced Composite Products Cadillac CS-V. Dyson will start Sunday’s combined race on pole by virtue of recording the fastest race lap, 1:20.382-seconds, followed by Ragginger, Drissi and Said.
