SONOMA, Calif. (April 27, 2025) ― 2024 TA Champion Paul Menard earned his second win of the season in the Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli, leading every lap of a close and competitive race at Sonoma Raceway. Menard was challenged fervently by three-time TA Champion Chris Dyson, who was anxious for redemption after a crash in Sebring kept him out of the seat for Round 2 at Road Atlanta. However, despite Dyson’s valiant efforts, Menard took the checkered flag with a narrow 0.291-second margin of victory.
