Rafa Matos experienced at least a bit of redemption at the 2023 Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli’s Big Machine Vodka Spiked Coolers TA2 Series season opener at Sebring International Raceway.
Merrill, who won the title on the last race of the season a year ago, finished eighth at Sebring to start the 2023 campaign.After winning the pole in Friday's qualifying session, Connor Mosack brought the field to green in his No. 28 Open Eyes/SLR-M1 Race Cars Ford Mustang. While he was being chased by the two Peterson Racing cars of Austin Green and Matos, Mosack appeared untouchable, leading the first 19 laps of the 27-lap event.
“Yeah baby!” yelled Matos in victory lane. “Losing the championship last year in the last race and on a tiebreaker was pretty disappointing for our team, and we had a lot of time to think about it. The 3-Dimensional Services Group team did a fantastic job building four brand-new race cars over the off-season; the cars are very fast.
