A Dominant Momentum Seeking Extension in Georgia

The upcoming 40 lap contest at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta serves as a pivotal moment for TeamSLR to solidify its current stranglehold on the TA2 Series. Following a decisive victory at Sebring International Raceway, the organization has now amassed seven consecutive wins achieved by four separate drivers, signaling a depth of talent and mechanical consistency.

The presence of Jared Odrick, the defending Pro-Am Challenge champion, further strengthens the collective effort under the TeamSLR banner. According to Scott Lagasse Jr., the organization functions as a multifaceted driver coaching and car construction hub, utilizing the expertise of seasoned pr...
