Article

ELKHART LAKE, Wis., – June 18, 2025 – Brace yourself for an adrenaline-charged weekend as the Cheese Capital Cup featuring the Trans Am SpeedTour, returns to Road America June 27–29. With a legacy that stretches back to 1966, the Trans Am Series has carved a legendary path through American motorsports—featuring icons like Tommy Kendall, Mark Donohue, and Wally Dallenbach, Jr. Now, the roar of Camaros, Mustangs, Corvettes, and Challengers returns to the iconic 4-mile, 14-turn circuit fans and drivers love.

The Trans Am Series’ signature 100-mile sprint races—without mandatory pit stops—promise pure, nonstop competition from green flag to checkered. It’s a true test of talent, grit, and muscle.

Support races round out the full-throttle weekend with the F1600, F2000, and F1000 Championship Series, the Atlantic Championship Series, and the International GT series featuring sleek Ferraris and Porsches. Plus, don’t miss OPTIMA’s Search for the Ultimate Street Car—a fan-favorite competition at the Briggs & Stratton Motorplex.

This year, the Cheese Capital Cup is revving up for an electrifying new addition—a high-horsepower parade featuring 40 elite race cars from the Trans Am Series and Optima Ultimate Street Car Competition at Road America. On Friday evening, June 27, the parade will roar to life as these powerful machines depart Road America’s Gate 6 at 5:45 PM, escorted by Plymouth Police Department, arriving at Stayer Park in nearby Plymouth Wisconsin by 6 PM during the Plymouth Cheese Capital Festival. Fans will have an exclusive opportunity to see the cars up close, meet the drivers, and soak in the excitement before engines fire up again at 8 PM for the return trip.

Kids 16 and under are free with a paying adult. On-site camping and hospitality options are available ranging from full-event to single-day experiences.
