TopLiner™ and Burtin Racing are preparing for the Trans Am presented by Pirelli event at Virginia International Raceway (VIR) from September 17 to 20, 2026, marking the next round of the 2026 TA Class championship. Austrian driver Martin Ragginger will pilot the No. 7 TopLiner™ Chevrolet Camaro in the premier TA Class.

Ragginger heads to the 3.27-mile, 17-turn circuit following two strong results earlier in the 2026 season. He secured a third-place finish at Sebring International Raceway and earned second place at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course after leading 14 laps. Originally opened in 1957 and revived in 2000, VIR features elevation changes, long straights, and landmark sections including the Climbing Esses and Oak Tree.

Team Principal Claudio Burtin highlighted that motorsport provides a platform to demonstrate the performance and durability of TopLiner™, a Georgia-born spray-on bedliner brand founded in 1987. The 31-lap or 75-minute TA race will be accompanied by practice and qualifying sessions, as well as the Hagerty Cars and Caffeine car show. The event will be broadcast across platforms including YouTube, RacingAmerica.TV, and REV TV in Canada.
