Nitro Motorsports Heads to Lime Rock Park with Eight-Driver Lineup

May 21, 2025

May 21, 2025 – After an action-packed weekend at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, Nitro Motorsports is ready to regroup and reload as the Trans Am Series Presented by Pirelli heads east to Lime Rock Park for the next round of the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series championship. With a powerful eight-driver roster, including a pair of NASCAR ladder series drivers, the North Carolina-based outfit looks to return to the top step of the podium on the historic Connecticut circuit in the Memorial Day weekend event.

Racing out of the Nitro Motorsports stable at Lime Rock will be:

• Corey Heim
• Thomas Annunziata
• Sam Corry
• Boris Said Jr.
• Gian Buffomante
• Julian DaCosta
• Cale Phillips
• Thad Moffitt

“We’ve got a deep lineup of talent heading into Lime Rock, and I’m excited to see what we can do as a team,” expressed Nick Tucker, Team Owner of Nitro Motorsports. “After a tough end to a promising weekend at Laguna Seca, everyone is fired up and ready to fight back.”

Last time out, Gian Buffomante turned heads by charging from 21st on the grid to finish third, earning his first career Trans Am podium and the Basset Hard Charger of the Race Award in the process. Boris Said Jr. showed his consistency as well, finishing fourth in class after penalties reshuffled the final order. Meanwhile, early front-runners Thomas Annunziata, the current TA2 championship point leader, and Sam Corry showed winning pace with Annunziata, a two-time race winner this season, looking to rebound after a disappointing event.

Julian DaCosta and Cale Phillips will pilot Nitro Motorsports machines at Lime Rock Park this weekend as they look for their best results of the season, as a pair of new names will join them in the series in 2025. Coming from the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and the ARCA Menards Series, Corey Heim and Thad Moffitt will race for Nitro Motorsports this weekend. 

“We welcome Corey and Thad to our program this weekend as they have a slight break in their NASCAR schedules and can join us,” Tucker continued. “We’ve shown speed at every track this year. Now the goal is to put it all together—and get back to our dominating ways. With eight talented drivers in the paddock, I have no doubt we’ll be right in the mix this weekend.”

Set to hit the track on Friday for three test sessions, Saturday will be the home of qualifying and race one. Tune in LIVE all weekend long at GoTransAm.com.
