Ave wins SCCA Trans-Am Series race at BIR

Championship leader Tony Ave drove his Corvette to his fifth win of the season Sunday during the 36-lap feature race on BIR's Competition Road Course. It was the return of the SCCA Pro Racing Trans-Am Series after a 21-year absence from the BIR schedule. The weekend event included three other classes on the road course, the 22nd Annual Coca-Cola Muscle Car Shootout on the drag strip, a classic car show and much more.
