Dodge makes a comeback in the TA class
Powered by a monstrous 850 horsepower V8 emitting that iconic roar found only in Trans Am, the TA class remains a truly unique American category that puts the power in the driver hands, with no electronic driver aids allowed. This season, four different manufacturers will battle for the TA title as the Dodge Challenger makes its full-season return on the class roster with drivers Ken Thwaits, Jeff Hinkle and Adam Andretti.

Andretti will open the 2021 Trans Am season in the same No. 43 ECC /AnchorBolt&Screw Dodge Challenger he debuted last season at Sebring to honor his late brother John Andretti.

The ECC Motorsports prepared Challenger sports the same number and ‘Petty blue’ color scheme that John Andretti carried while driving for Richard Petty in NASCAR and again at the Indianapolis 500, styled with a STP-style red roundel on the hood.

“This year we are again planning to do as many races as possible utilizing the same tribute livery as Sebring last year,” said Andretti. “It’s a wonderful tribute to my brother and great exposure for our #Checkit4Andretti initiative that has since gone live as a charitable organization to urge people to schedule their colonoscopies. John has already saved so many lives with his story and I know how proud his wife Nancy and their kids are to continue this in his memory.”
