HIGH POINT, N.C. – A pair of NASCAR Xfinity Series regulars will drive Silver Hare Racing-prepared TA2 Camaros during this weekend’s Trans-Am Series presented by Pirelli Pro-Am event at the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL.
Harrison Burton and Brandon Jones, both four-time winners in the Xfinity Series for Joe Gibbs Racing, are no strangers to Trans Am competition, having made multiple starts between 2018 and ’20.
Both drivers will be working around their Xfinity Series commitments on Saturday at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
In addition to fielding multiple full-season, Trans-Am TA2 entries, Silver Hare Racing uses the TA2 platform to provide road course driver development and testing opportunities to NASCAR teams.
Burton and Jones are using the Pro-Am event to gain valuable seat time ahead of the ROVAL race that is part of the Xfinity Series playoffs in October.
“We’re really looking forward to having Brandon and Harrison join us at the ROVAL,” said Silver Hare Racing team manager Michael Self. “Both are not only great drivers that I’ve had the chance to work with and race against, they’re also great people and good friends of mine. I’ve watched both of them win through their racing careers and climb from the NASCAR K&N level up through the Xfinity series, so it’s really special for me to have them competing in the Silver Hare TA2 cars this weekend.
We’re putting a big focus on road course driver development at Silver Hare Racing and having two winning Xfinity Series drivers in our cars at a NASCAR playoff track really highlights our program.”
The Charlotte ROVAL Pro-Am event is the first of back-to-back Trans Am weekends. The series visits Road Atlanta in Braselton, Ga., next weekend.
