| Atlanta, GEORGIA – March 9, 2026 – TopLiner™ and Burtin Racing are preparing for a highly anticipated weekend of competition March 12 to 15 as the two car team heads to Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta for the second round of the 2026 Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli TA Class championship.For the team and its partners, the race represents far more than just another event on the calendar. Located in Braselton, Georgia, Road Atlanta is effectively a home race for both Burtin Racing and TopLiner™, making the weekend an important opportunity to showcase performance, innovation, and partnerships in front of friends, family and local fans as well as partners and industry representatives.As in the season opener at Sebring, Burtin Racing fields two highly competitive entries in the premier TA Class, with Adam Andretti piloting the No. 17 TopLiner™ Chevrolet Camaro and Martin Ragginger – who finished in podium P3 in Florida – driving the No. 7 TopLiner™ Chevrolet Camaro. Andretti arrives at Road Atlanta with memories of success at the historic circuit where two years ago, he held off Chris Dyson by just 0.159 seconds in a thrilling finish to the 2024 edition of the race.That experience gives the team confidence heading into the weekend. “Adam has proven he knows how to win at Road Atlanta,” said Claudio Burtin, Team Principal of Burtin Racing. “It’s a demanding circuit that rewards precision and commitment, we have two very talented drivers this weekend – each contender for the win.”Alongside Andretti, the team boasts the international pedigree of Martin Ragginger. The winner of the 24 Hours of Spa Francorchamps, the Austrian driver is a longtime associate and driver for Burtin Racing and boasts an impressive résumé across global sports car racing. Ragginger’s reputation as a technically precise and highly consistent driver makes him an asset as Burtin Racing continues its campaign in the fiercely competitive TA Class.“Martin brings a wealth of experience from some of the toughest racing environments in the world,” Burtin said. “His ability to extract performance from the car and maintain pace over a full race distance is exceptional.”For TopLiner™, the Road Atlanta weekend also represents a strategic business opportunity. With its location in the Southeast and strong attendance from automotive professionals and enthusiasts, the event provides an ideal platform to connect with partners and highlight the brand’s growing nationwide footprint. TopLiner™ continues to expand its dealer network across the United States, and events like the Trans Am race at Road Atlanta offer valuable opportunities to engage with prospective dealers, distributors, and customers.“Motorsport is an incredible platform for TopLiner™,” Burtin explained. “Not only does it demonstrate the performance and durability that define the brand, but it also allows us to meet potential partners from across the country. We’re actively developing nationwide dealer opportunities, and weekends like this help build those relationships.”With a proven race winner in Andretti, an internationally accomplished driver in Ragginger, and the home-track support of fans and partners, TopLiner™ and Burtin Racing are aiming to make a strong statement at Road Atlanta.
