Lawrence Loshak will make his Trans-Am Series TA class debut this weekend at Circuit of the Americas.

ATLANTA – Lawrence Loshak will make his Trans-Am Series TA class debut at Circuit of The Americas behind the wheel of the No. 50 Pennzoil GoShare ETE Axalta Chevrolet Camaro for Burtin Racing in partnership with Loshak/Stark Racing.

While Loshak’s stint behind the wheel of the No. 50 marks his TA class debut in Trans-Am, the Milwaukee native has 32 appearances in the TA2 class — including 14 top-five finishes and a dominant 2016 victory at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.

Loshak will step into the 850-horsepower Burtin Racing machine, fulfilling a long-standing desire to compete in the iconic platform.

“One of my fondest memories is watching Tommy Kendall dance his famous Roush All-Sport Mustang TA car around a wet Road America,” said Loshak. “Ever since that moment, I’ve been fascinated by TA/GT1 racecars, and in fact it’s my love for these cars that first led me to race in Trans-Am.

“So, it’s beyond exciting to have the opportunity to team up with Burtin Racing and get behind the wheel of the Gary Selix-built masterpiece that is the No. 50 Pennzoil-GoShare-ETE-Axalta Camaro TA and go for the overall win at Circuit of The Americas,” Loshak said. “The fact that this was totally unplanned for the 2017 season only makes it sweeter. Burtin Racing is without question the premium, ultra-professional program that our loyal partners deserve, and I honestly haven’t been this excited to get into a racecar in a very long time.”

“Lawrence is a great addition to join Burtin Racing at COTA, and the team is pumped that we were able to put this deal together,” said team owner Claudio Burtin. “We were going to sit this one out, but things came together last week and the Pennzoil GoShare Camaro is ready and aimed at Texas.”
