SONOMA, Calif. – After a rain-soaked Saturday, the Trans-Am Series presented by Pirelli West Coast Championship closed out its inaugural doubleheader weekend at Sonoma Raceway with perfect California weather on Sunday. Following an overall second-place finish in Saturday’s Trans-Am race, Greg Pickett reclaimed the first place overall with a dominant showing in the No. That worked nicely and created a nice balance to the car for the rest of the race. Pole sitter Merrill, who was Saturday’s overall race winner, lead the TA2 class from flag to flag. “Thomas (Merrill) is the real deal,” Pickett said following the race. With the heat coming in and sun beating down on the race track, today was about not cooking the rear tire too quickly. The championship title contender returned on Sunday starting and finishing the race in second in the No. “The best part about today was actually making the race,” explained Rosseno.
